After dinner, the owners took Chaplin upstairs to meet their son, a quadruple amputee who they kept under the bed. It also took inspiration from an anecdote in Charlie ChaplinвЂ™s autobiography in which he described staying in a tenement house. ThatвЂ™s not even the creepiest inspiration for the episode.

Delbert, whose IQ was 68, was acquitted due to insufficient evidence, and because his confession had apparently been coerced.Д¤. After one of the brothers, William, had died, an investigation led to two theories: 1) That another brother, Delbert, had killed him as an act of mercy, because DelbertвЂ™s health had been declining for years, or 2) consistent with the autopsy showing that William had semen on his clothing and his leg, William had killed his brother during an act of sex gone bad. The documentary was about four backwoods brothers who lived together on a rural farm in upstate New York. вЂњHomeвЂќ was the first episode they wrote upon their return, and it was based, in part, on the documentary, BrotherвЂ™s Keeper. The episode was written by Glen Morgan and James Wong, who had left the show after the second season to develop the sci-fi series, Space: Above and Beyond, which was cancelled after one season. It was banned from being re-aired on Fox and, in fact, wasnвЂ™t seen again until 1997 during a marathon on cable network, FX.ДЈ. In fact, it was the first network television episode in America to ever receive a TV-MA rating.Дў. вЂњHomeвЂќ was the first episode of The X-Files to get a viewer discretion warning. With that out of the way, here are ten things you may not know about вЂњHome.вЂќДЎ. Peacock escape, presumably to begin a new family elsewhere. Though Mulder and Scully manage to kill two of the brothers, the eldest son and Mrs. She is a violently deformed quadruple amputee who, it turns out, has been breeding with her sons for years. The next day, when arrest warrants are served at the Peacock home, the Deputy is decapitated by a booby trap.ДЄs Mulder and Scully investigate the inside of the home, they eventually find Mrs. Ultimately, the Peacocks escape and bludgeon the Sheriff (Andy Taylor) and his wife to death with baseball bats.

Mulder and Scully are stumped because their lead suspects, the Peacocks, are all brothers, so how could they breed? They arrive at the conclusion that the PeacockвЂ™s must have kidnapped and raped a woman, and after the local sheriff issues a warrant for the PeacocksвЂ™ arrests, the brothers flee. During the course of the investigation, Mulder and Scully discover the deformed baby had been buried alive, and that its deformities may have been the product of inbreeding. During the course of the investigation, Mulder and Scully end up questioning the Peacock brothers, who live in an old shambling house without electricity or running water that had apparently missed out on the 20th century. You will never look under the bed in the dark again.ДЄ refresher: вЂњHomeвЂќ was a stand-alone вЂњmonster-of-the-weekвЂќ episode that had Mulder and Scully investigating the discovery of a deformed baby buried near the home of the Peacocks in a small town in Pennsylvania. It is scary in the sense that visions from the episode will stick with you for days, months, maybe years, and come to you in your sleep and stir you awake in a cold sweat covered in your own piss. ItвЂ™s not scary in the sense that it will make you fear for your life, or jump out of your skin. It will f*ck you up and haunt you to the core of your soul. If you havenвЂ™t seen вЂњHome,вЂќ stop whatever youвЂ™re doing and track it down. For all the subverted horror tropes, gore, and twisted sexual perversions in Ryan MurphyвЂ™s The American Horror Story, it has nothing on what may be considered the most disturbing episode of television in network history, the X-Files episode, вЂњHome,вЂќ which holds up as well now as it did 17 years ago. Whenever Halloween arrives, IвЂ™m always reminded of one of my all-time favorite episodes of television.
