- 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.

Legendary Episode
The first x-files episode to feature a monster as opposed to any extra terrestrial entities.An ordinary human being with the ability to change form and contort his body to adapt to many different physical situations.The killer also removes his victims livers to sustain his survival.This transpires to occur every 30 years.
A hugely memorable performance is delivered by the talented Doug Hutchinson who plays the manic Eugene Tooms to the best of his ability.His generic appearance really draws you in then you feel a chill in your spine as goes into killing mode.He clearly has a certain look in his eyes.
A truly defining moment for the x-files even though it was so early in its life
