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.

Featured review
Iconic creepy episode!
Thisbwas that kicked of "The monster of the week" trend that this show would follow, when the episode weren't heavy on mythology like the two first episodes!
Here we see the first actual scary episode as Mulder and Scully tricks down a killer capable of squeezing through.. anything?
The episode has a lot of creepy scary atmosphere and plays on our fear of someone entering places where we thought we would be safe! The monster itself also remains iconic and one of the best of the show!
The addition of the other agents further adds to the feeling of Mulder being the outsider and excluded in the FBI!
This is X files at its finnest and most creepy and scary!
