Storyline
Did you know
- 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.

A great kick-off to MONSTER OF THE WEEK!
Not one of my favorites, but still a legendary episode from season 1 and not just because of it being the first MOTW episode. Doug Hutchison (best known for his performance in The Green Mile, a Stephen King adaptation) is an absolutely brilliant actor. He raises the creep factor up to 11 -- you really get a sense that he loved this script/character and wanted to give it his all. I love how much of a cult following this episode has. It deserves it!
