GHOST HUNTERS

It's hard to believe that a TV series meant to be unsettling and scary could actually make an episode that after airing was considered too scary and not shown again. Leave it to "X-Files" to come up with just that episode! The plot  seems straightforward enough. On October 11, 1996 the "X-Files" new episode was entitled, "Home."

The plot is so feasible it's almost chilling and the pacing great. The acting was sometimes a bit stilted and almost over-rehearsed between Scully and Mulder. It felt strange, as if their voices could emote, but they could not in their bodies or faces ( talking heads syndrome ). The plot, however, is just wicked awesome.
