"It’s a tough job trying to come up with the top ten X-Files episodes of all time. Frankly, I think I should have done the top twenty instead, but that would take too much writing.

Not sure what the name is, but the episode where Scully kept hearing the same song over and over again. Something to do with a demon or something. The music always freaked me out. I want to say it was the episode where the preacher turned into a snake, but I could be wrong.
Frank Spotnitz, who was a major force with Chris Carter on The X-Files, created the unsuccessful metrosexual re-imagining of Night Stalker
It’s almost as good as McGavin’s role in the Christmas Story.
