And still one of the show’s best episodes

30 years later, the scariest episode of The X-Files is still deeply disturbing

Over 11 seasons, the way The X-Files managed to stay fresh was by telling a wide variety of television stories. The show might be about aliens for one week and then follow that up with an urban legend before pivoting to a story about the occult. The show also managed to switch up its genre of stories. While sci-fi was especially prominent, The X-Files managed the occasional comedic episode and sometimes explored outright horror. It was during one of those horror episodes in season 4 that The X-Files writers Glen Morgan and James Wong, along with director Kim Manners, crafted the show’s scariest, most disturbing episode (and one of the most unsettling hours of broadcast television ever).

It takes quite a bit of work to visit all fifty of these United States. Through my nearly forty years on this earth, I've managed to visit 48 of them, and quite soon I'll be knocking Alaska off my list. My journey will start in Washington State, and I will travel by car through hundreds of miles of Canadian wilderness to be met with a sign welcoming me back into my home country. There are plenty of roads connecting the continental U.S. with Alaska, but as you no doubt know, there's no point at which Alaska touches the rest of the country it is part of. Can you just drive up to Alaska with your standard U.S. driver's license? The answer is complicated, but it kind of boils down to no.
