10. Agua Mala – Touching moments, shipper moments, and scary moments abound in this MOTW episode. Mulder and Scully head to Florida during a hurricane to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Arthur Dales’ neighbors. Scary factor: dissolving bodies, things-that-make-you-jump, tension, and off-screen events.
9. Pusher – With his spoken word, a man has the ability to force people to kill themselves. Scary factor: the horror that victims experience, sociopath villain, Russian roulette scene.
8. Scary Monsters – Monsters under the bed, and they actually kill. Scary factor: replicating monsters, scary little boy.
7. Ice – “We are not who we are.” Mulder and Scully race against time to determine why the humans with the Arctic Ice Core Project killed each other and themselves. Scary factor: massive paranoia, creepy body infestation, and Scully’s clothing.
6. Folie a Deux – An office worker discovers that his co-workers are zombies. Scary factor: Mulder’s hospital scene, zombies.
5. Elegy – Those about to die see visions of those who are dying. Scary factor: Scully sees visions, and bowling alleys will forever seem creepy.
4. Squeeze – Mulder and Scully investigate a serial killer who emerges from hibernation every thirty years in order to eat human livers. Scary factor: Victor Eugene Tooms, Scully’s bathroom scene.
3. Chinga – Stephen King wrote this heavily revamped episode about a murderous talking doll. Scary factor: “I want to play,” the Hokey-pokey, and murder by microwave.
2. Irresistible/Orison – Psychological horror from a death fetishist, though Scully suspects that true evil is at
work. Scary factor: Donnie Pfaster (need I say more?), Pfaster’s voice, suspense, and the final scene of Orison.
1. Home – Gruesome, chilling, creepy, shocking, disgusting, and just plain nasty…that is how Home can be described.
Mulder and Scully investigate the death of a mysterious child and encounter the Peacock Family. Scary factor: the Peacock Family, Johnny Mathis, and Sheriff Taylor’s murder is unforgettable.

XFilesUniverse.com member “XF4Life” has created a gift for all philes: a 2011 X-Files Calendar! It features Mulder and Scully, the Lone Gunmen, Chris Carter, and your favorite characters. You can reach it through our forums: http://www.xfilesuniverse.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=254&t=576
XF4Life is a talented Photoshop guru who has created banners for our website in addition to the 2010 and 2011 calendars featured in the forums and other X-Files artwork. She began using Photoshop beginning in her junior year of college when she was a Digital Art and Design major. Jump several years to the present, and you will see her skill is quite evident.
About the calendar, XF4Life says, “When I designed my calendar I wanted each month to represent a particular person or event. For instance, Scully’s birthday is February, so I wanted February to be about Scully. March you can see the promo when they first started the show with Scully and Mulder at their desk and then you see the IWTB promo picture. I wanted to show how much changed from when they first were together. I thought the quote was appropriate for that because this shows how it’s been popular for over 15 years. April is supposed to be a shipper month. Plus, it is when the spring begins and love is in the air.
‘In June is when “Fight The Future” came out in 1998. I wanted that month to reflect on the movie. In July “I Want To Believe” came out in 2008, again I wanted that month to reflect on the movie. Gillian and David’s Birthday is in August. That’s why I used Gillian and David’s picture. Mulder’s Birthday is in October so that’s why I wanted October to be about Mulder. For the rest of the months I just design whatever felt appropriated for that month.”
Love for the X-Files is evident in XF4Life’s work. “What really inspires me is re-watching the show and giving me new ideas to design. If I am just surfing the net I come upon other artist’s fan art and they give me some ideas. Also, my friends, especially maurisap and JeSouhaite.”
Her favorite episodes are considered classics in The X-Files world. “My favorite episode of all time is Bad Blood. I know, I know that’s a lot of people’s favorite episode, but it’s so hilarious and fun. I just love the two different sides of the story. Gillian and David are great in that episode. My favorite season is season 7 and season 6 close behind. I love season 7 because there is a lot of shippiness and also there is closure between Mulder and Scully. Mulder finally finds out what happen to his sister, Scully finding her path in life and finally accepting her feeling towards Mulder. I can watch that season over and over. I think I’ve watched that season probably 3-5 times.”
The calendars are approved by XF4Life for philes to download as long as credit providing remains on the artwork. Click on the link at the top of the article to take you to the forums for details.
