I would have to go with "Hungry" season 7 episode 3. That episode had
more creepy things going on in it than any other episode in the series.
I think it was that Proboscous Tongue that got me! Even now when ever I
go into a "Fast Food" Burger place I get the creeps, and check out the
people behind the counter. You never know when a Proboscous Tongue might
come flying at you! :-)

Oh, wow... yesterday when I was test-driving the season 1 DVD set I got my
friend for his birthday, I watched Space and thought about other sucky
episodes, specifically how much I hated Hungry about all episodes up until
that point. For me, creepiest = Home, but grossest = that one with the
plastic surgeons and the protective pentagram nurse (special note: two years
out of my XF obsession, it makes me sad that I've forgotten a good portion
of the ep titles...)

That is why you are the coolest person here.
Home wasn't creepy or gross. Just completely unnecessary BS pandering to the
lowest common denominator and trying to cash in on the slash movie mentality.
It was SO beneath everyone on the show.
and the plastic surgeon one was Sanguinarium ... another one I just thought was
dumb .. but still better than 90% of the last two season and 99% better than
everything else on TV right now.

Disagree. It was creepy and gross and made me go "Oh. My. God." when it was
over. (The only things they were trying to cash in on was "The Andy
Griffith Show" and the movie "Babe"...<eg>) Hands down THE creepiest of
all.
Except for Orison - I was curled up in a ball, whimpering at the end...

Irresistible and 4-D. The creepiest episodes are always about sicko
people like Donnie Pfaster (but not Orison) shampooing the hair of
his corpse-like temperature victims and Irwin Lukesh (not the
parallel universe part)taking out peoples tongues and serving them
to his mother for lunch.
And speaking of regular creepy people, I had an e-mail today from
Amazon that Millennium: Season 1 is now available for pre-order for
$41.99. If creepy people like Donnie Pfaster and Irwin Lukesh
(throw in the guy from Paper Hearts, too, and the perv from
Invocation) are the kind of people that float your boat
entertainmently-speaking, and you never saw Millennium's first
season, I highly recommend the DVD set for this season 1.
The actor who played Lukesh (Dylan Haggerty) is actually another
creepy person in Frank Spotnitz's really fine S1 Millennium episode,
Sacrament.

I find it hard to believe that no one thought the "Hungry" episode was
Creepy. I guess a Brain Sucking fast food worker, with sharks teeth, and
no ears, and Black eyes, is really not very creepy. And what a great
place for one of these creatures to work, a Fast Food Burger joint! I
think that "Hungry" episode will always be my favorite MOTW episode. Not
just because the creature was acting creepy, but so was Mulder and
Scully in a few scenes. Like in the Burger Joint when Mulder found that
piece of Burger under the counter, and thought it was Brain matter, and
Scully said no it's just burger. Now if Sculy would have stuck her
finger in it, and licked it, and then said "No Mulder, it's just
Burger", I would have just lost it! LOL!

To me, creepy is when a story involves a *real* person. Scary is in the realm
of fantasy.

Interesting. I find scary to be much more about real people because I
think that could actually happen to me. I thought Blair Witch was
really scary. But I was also really nervous and scared the night I saw
Die Hand for the first time. Donnie Pfaster is both creepy and scary,
according to Tara's definition.
I'm just confused.

Hi, Jen! I was watching a show called Hollywood Cops or something similar
a few months ago, and they were shooting film at the tourist gift shop
directly across the street from the hotel (before they built that new Kodak
theater complex.) I was yelling, "Hey! I was there! I know exactly where
that is!"

It's such a pity that a lot people were looking for an X-Files clone
and didn't stick with this show. I think S1 of Millennium was
better than S1 of The X-Files story-wise. But, I also think when
Chris Carter and Frank Spotnitz wrote Millennium-type stories for
The X-Files (Irresistible, Via Negativa) they were of a superior
quality and tone which is why I'd like to see them try their hand at
a movie of this type.
It shouldn't be a Millennium movie/X-Files movie but the dark somber
visuals, the depravity of the crimes, the sadness for the victims
(this was key to the good Millennium episodes) and Mark Snow's
string music created such a perfect dark tone and I think a movie
audience would appreciate that type of movie more than a televison
audience that type of TV show.
I also don't think it would cost a lot to make (movie dollars, not
TV dollars) since it wouldn't require a lot of special effects or
action sequences.
I remember feeling so sad for the girls in the Well Worn Lock who
were being abused by their father and for Frank Black's brother
whose wife was taken (Sacrament) and I also remember being repulsed
by the sick bastards in the stories because they were human
monsters. I think what Millennium had going for it in the good
episodes was emphasis on the victims and their families rather than
the lead character. I never really "felt" anything for Frank Black
but the sadness for the helpless victims and their families was
something other TV shows wouldn't/couldn't do because in TV land
audiences seem to want some witty/charming lead character to have
the focus (maybe because they see him/her every week?) in dramas. I
don't know, but I'm disappointed that CC and Spotsy aren't getting
away from The X-Files or at least thinking about re-mining some of
the things that made Millennium good, in a movie that isn't
Millennium: The Movie.

It was certainly better in production quality and general writing.
The team had learned a lot doing the X-Files. It's one weakness
was the story monotone. The X-Files by its very nature was open
to a wider variety of plot lines.

But the problem is they seem to have written themselves into
a box. The next ones has to be about that alien/Mulder vs the
known universe crap. A good evil/MOTW would certainly be
best.

Well the first movie should not have cost as much as it
did. I think Berman wasted a lot of cash learning how to
do things. I know how many of their effects are done
and the costs involved and given the published salaries
for the cast I really don't know where the money went.

If I were them I would sit and wait until the time is right.
Wait until they have a chance to produce a quality show
in a format and place where it will have a chance of drawing
a real audience.

Was there actually an x-file in this episode? I can't remember anything
that was unexplainable, unless you count keeping the mother alive under
the bed all those years.

To me, creepy is when it makes my skin crawl. Scary is when it gives me
nightmares.

By that defination -- Creepy = F. Emasculata. Those exploding boils things
were nasty. Scary = Irresistable and maybe Unruhe. Not that I got nightmares,
but I am always more likely to have my imagination take off on me if it has
real humans as monsters for fodder.

Hi, I'm new here but a long time huge fan of TXF. That was why I always thought
this particular episode was stupid. Not only was there no X-File there, but the
morons went and buried the kid in the middle of a field where kids played
baseball all the time when they had their own yard that people avoided like the
plague where it would never have been found. Just bad writing all the way
around, with the exception of the 'UberScully' conversation.

but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt

Hi,
I'm also new here (well, about 4 months I've been lurking which is new
compared to most people) and you make an interesting obversation! It is
a stupid episode, especially when Mulder and Scully enter the
booby-trapped house on their own... you'd think they send in armed
specialists. Still - it was fun to watch I guess. still prefer
Grotesque :)

Tooms or Flukeman... but just very, very effective in its own quiet
way.
Then again, obviously the answer is "Home" *really*...
