On January 24, 2016, there will be a run of six brand new X-Files episodes. If all you remember is the flukeman from the second episode of the second season (didn’t everyone see that and shudder?), then you’ll want to brush up on the series — in Blu-Ray — before the new shows air.
On December 8, for the first time The X Files – The Collector’s Set will debut on Blu-ray with all nine seasons and more than 23 hours of content.
Since its inception in 1993, “The X-Files” has remained a worldwide phenomenon, garnering a loyal cult following, 16 Emmys® and five Golden Globes® Awards, including “Best Dramatic TV Series” during its nine-season run.

Oh god Flukeman.
I couldn’t shower or use the bathroom when I was alone in the house for DAYS after seeing that episode, because I was convinced he was going to come flying through the pipes at me.
Carly, that is no joke!! I watched so many X-Files episodes, but I think Flukeman in The Host is the one that never left me. I had nightmares about it! Annnnd I see I can watch that particular episode for free with Amazon Prime. I may have to, to see if Flukeman still freaks me out as bad as he(?) did then! =P
