Six Episodes of The X-Files That Are Perfect for Halloween
Halloween is in full swing and there’s only one more week to pack in all of your favorite, seasonally-appropriate flicks, tunes, treats, tricks, and more. Personally, I’ve been binging on Brach’s pumpkins and rewatching Scream, Practical Magic, and Rosemary’s Baby. But I’m ploughing through spooky content at an alarming rate, which means I’m welcoming all suggestions! I was excited to come across this list from Tor.com highlights episodes of The X-Files that are primed for Halloween viewing. I love a good list that has done all the episode sorting for you.
The X-Files is known for its sci-fi storylines but every so often it reaches out a toe and dips it squarely into the horror genre. The more horror-focused episodes tend to be the self-contained monster-of-the-week outings, largely separate from the series’ overarching alien mythology story arc. This makes them perfect to view as standalone stories—and also perfect to watch on a crisp October night in the lead-up to Halloween.
