content for this list we’ll be looking
at the most disturbing chilling and
controversial moments from the classic
sci-fi TV series but the band-aid nose
man he different number 10 fluke
Meredith flukeman is arguably the
scariest if not the most memorable
monster the early years of the x-files
ever produced it appeared in an all
together creepy episode featuring
parasites being coughed up or found in
dead bodies however the greatest moment
definitely comes from the reveal of the
nasty flukeman a product of nuclear
mutation brought on by the Chernobyl
disaster special agent Mulder finds him
just hanging out in some sewer pipes
Mulder and Scully have dealt with a
number of paranormal beings such as
ghosts and demons but the flukeman takes
the cake for being an all too realistic
scientific possibility
number nine malpractice we have all been
afraid of hospitals and doctors at some
point in our lives and the show really
knows how to take our common fears and
dial them up to 11 nothing is what it
seems at this Plastic Surgery Hospital
where the rich go under the knife the
opening scene is a shocker as we watch
dr. Lloyd seemingly lose his mind and go
a little too deep
I think this patient is before mulder
and scully or even on the scene we know
they’re gonna have their hands full with
possessed patients and satanic doctors
number eight chest burster one of the
weirdest cases agent Scully has ever
dealt with and sadly without agent
Mulder around has got to be the one with
the mysterious beggar as if the opening
scene with a paraplegic attacking the
overweight businessman wasn’t enough we
soon find out how he gets his revenge on
his victims yes by crawling inside them
in all of its graphic glory we are
treated to one of Scully’s famous
autopsies only to witness the beggar
who’s his way out of the bloody corpse
he’s been chilling in number 7 bus
attack veering off from the conventional
detective format agent Scully finds
herself trapped in a horror movie in a
little town in the middle of the Utah
desert the opening scene is one of the
most disturbing ever featuring the group
lynching of a handicapped young man the
rest of the episode devolves into a
nightmare of religious cults and
parasitic slugs that climb up your spine
this all culminates in Scully being
trapped on a bus with agent Doggett
having to cut the slug out of her back
before it reaches her brain the
aristocrats
[Music]
number six online dating but on that
change
just for your words the way you saw
things I knew I wanted to meet you
it seems the x-files was ahead of the
game warning everyone all the way back
in 1995 about the dangers of online
dating Virgil Incanto or username to shy
may be the most disgusting predator out
there
the opening scene to this chilling
episode during a romantic date night
doesn’t just introduce us to our
charismatic villain and his methods but
also to his disgusting objective as
Mulder and Scully will later learn
Virgil can secrete a digestive liquid
allowing him to devour the fat of his
victims which he needs to survive
number five home alone
memorable for being the first
monster-of-the-week episode squeeze also
introduced us to one of the most chill
inducing mutants eugene tooms’s
who made a second appearance at the end
of the first season tooms who has the
ability to contort and squeeze into
impossible spaces did not hesitate
before showing us the most disturbing
use of his ability crawling into a
home’s air ducts with Scully finally in
the comfort of her own home she’s
attacked by tooms who was waiting for
her this scene will make you check your
vents every time you enter a room
[Music]
it’s not gonna get his quota this year
number four band-aid nose man
[Music]
you’re not
one of the strangest creatures Mulder
and Scully were ever forced to deal with
the band-aid nose man comes from the
2016 revival of the show somehow brought
to life from the thoughts of a street
artist we get to see what this monster
is capable of early on as he slashed it
rips a city official to shreds however
it is only later that we get a better
look at him stalking his new victim in
her home ripping her body apart stuffing
pieces of her in her trash compactor and
ultimately climbing back into his
garbage truck absolutely horrifying
number three
shedding Leonard Betts became an instant
classic by disturbing and disgusting
almost 30 million viewers in one night
the story of a man who has evolved into
a cancer eating creature that can
regenerate his own limbs even his
severed head has a strong amount of
shocking moments including the
revelation of Scully’s cancer I’m sorry
but the most horrifying moment goes to
some excellent special-effects work
showing Leonard completely shedding his
old body and crawling out of his own
mouth number two
the real monster the show took a big
leap with this season 2 episode deciding
to leave all the paranormal creatures
behind and giving us a realistic
portrayal of the scariest monster of all
your run-of-the-mill serial killer a
death fetishist who likes collecting
hair samples from corpses
donnie pfaster is every woman’s worst
nightmare do you need a shampoo for
chemically treated hair seeing him charm
women and girls is the most chilling
thing to witness the worst of it being
faster trying to convince a prostitute
he hired to wash her hair for him seeing
her squirm and cringe makes us desperate
to look away
[Music]
before we reveal our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
[Music]
number one cradle to the grave the most
horrifying moment of all of course comes
from the most terrifying and
controversial episode in the history of
the show the story about the inbred
peacock brothers in home Pennsylvania
and their failed attempts at having
children was too disturbing for some
audiences the reveal of deformed mama
peacock kept amputated and tied up under
the bed was of course shocking but the
scene x-files fans will never be able to
get out of their minds as the opening
sequence featuring the brutal birth and
immediate burial of the new peacock baby
