- TriviaThis episode was a deliberate attempt by producer Chris Carter to prove that the show could be about more than just aliens.
- GoofsDetective Frank Briggs tells Mulder and Skully that he had been waiting 25 years for someone to question him about the case. If the killer strikes every 30 years, why would the detective have been waiting for only 25 years?
The reason that he states that he has been waiting 25 years for them to come speak with him is because he was a police officer for 5 years after the last murders. Once he retired he knew that in 25 years (because the last murder was 5 years before he retired) the murderer would strike again and then the investigating officers would be coming to speak to him because of the matching MO's in both the cases.

Featured review
One of the best loved episodes, for good reason.
A strange and brutal murder occurs, George Usher, a healthy, strong businessman is killed in his office, and his liver removed.
Eugene Victor Rooms, who doesn't know that name? Those shots of his eyes shining in the dark are still chilling.
Two excellent episodes are followed by this, an out and out classic, it's an iconic episode. It is the perfect blend of sci fi and thriller. It appeals on so many levels, the tone is very creepy, the story is great, and of course there's Tooms, all of the elements are brilliant.
People seemed to have so much faith in the polygraph test, I took one some years back, it was only partly accurate.
Fantastic! 10/10.
