So grab your flashlights and sunflower seeds as we celebrate the show’s most memorable monsters in all of their unapologetic gory. The genre-defying show has an overarching storyline centered on slow-burning relationships, alien abductions, and global cover-ups, but it is arguably the eclectic mix of monsters, mutants, and missing links that has left a long-standing impression on audiences. From flesh-hungry sewer dwellers to liver-eating contortionists, these bothersome beasts have been responsible for countless sleepless nights over the years.Īnd now, for some inexplicable reason, we’re heading back down to the basement to reopen The X-Files and revisit some of the scariest creatures that have ever crawled onto our screens. The sci-fi series pairs Agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny), a believer in the paranormal who is obsessed with uncovering a government conspiracy, with Agent Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), a scientific skeptic who is assigned to debunk his far-out theories, as they investigate cases that defy rational explanation. With over 200 episodes spanning across nine seasons, The X-Files is arguably one of the most iconic and influential television shows of all time.
