If I had to pick one episode to show a group for a special occasion like Halloween or some other informal group movie party from this series, I would choose this one "Home." To balance out the extra creepy and horrific violence and monster-us characters, there is a big helping of Fox Mulder goofing off and spouting nerdy hipster one-liners.
Many film techniques of horror movies is used with great effect with a minimum of makeup, special effects, CGI, etc.
The actress who plays the mother of the clan succeeds in pulling off one of the scariest scenes in the entire series. Surprisingly, she is actually quite attractive in real life.
Spoiler: Queasy types may want to fast forward past the scene where the song "Wonderful, wonderful" is played for the first time.
Not for the weak of heart, but a masterpiece in writing and presentation.
