Inbred hicks and killer clowns and talking dolls, oh my! Here, in honor of Halloween, are our picks for TV's five scariest episodes ever. We were going to go with a list of strictly Halloween-themed episodes, but those usually aren't all that scary. But you could still watch these particular episodes on Saturday night to get in the ghoulish spirit of the holiday.
Without a doubt the most frightening, most disturbing episode in the entirety of The X-Files' many-season run, "Home" is terrifying because it doesn't really traffic in the supernatural--it could be real. Well, sure, it's highly unlikely that there would actually be a murderous family of insanely inbred brothers who keep impregnating their limbless mother who they keep on a cart under the bed and killing the deformed offspring (that's really what the episode is about!) in modern-day America, but there aren't any aliens or ghosts or telekinetic weirdos lurking the periphery to firmly place the episode beyond the realm of possibility. Directed by Kim Manners, "Home" is so mesmerizingly repulsive, unbearably suspenseful, and shockingly dark that it's no wonder Fox was famously reluctant to ever rerun the episode after its initial airing. A true stunner.
