The X-Files was a hit series, starring Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny, that originally ran from 1993 until 2002. Although there are dozens of eerie episodes, recently, TVLine ranked the creepiest episodes in the entire series.
Coming in at number one was the 1996 episode, “Home,” which was the only episode in the show’s history to earn a TV-MA rating. It was even banned from television reruns. The episode summary on IMDb reads, “The remains of a murdered deformed infant lead the agents to a family of murderous, inbred, animal-like brothers living on a secluded farm in a remote section of Pennsylvania.”

When speaking about this episode, Director Kim Manners said that the script was “as classic a horror script as I’m ever going to see.” Writer Glen Morgan also spoke about the episode in an interview with Gold Derby, claiming that a Fox executive read it and told him, “You’re sick.”
Morgan continued, “That episode was directed by Kim Manners, who Jim and I met on 21 Jump Street. The first thing he ever made was one of the original Charlie’s Angels episodes. Kim was always a great director and was a blast. I think the actors got a little bit more monstery than was in my head, but that was Kim’s choice. The really great thing is the actress Karin Konoval, who played the mother, doing green screen with limb removal, which was not a thing you saw on TV very often.”

He continued, “My grandmother and grandfather, my mom’s parents, lived in Rochester, and they had a family next door who was a very nice family, maybe a little chaotic, named the Peacocks. I just thought, what a great name, and so we named [the ‘Home’ family] the Peacocks. I have no idea if they even know that it’s based on them. My grandmother was worried that they would find out, but they weren’t a family of four inbred brothers, so they’re not going to take offense.”
Some of the other episodes that made TVLine’s list of creepiest The X-Files episodes were “Roadrunners,” “Squeeze,” “Irresistible,” and “Drive.”
