Sure. Fine. Whatever.

Two comedies in a row? Sure. Fine. Whatever. While the previous episode was a lot ickier, this one was a lot darker.

It wasn't exactly creepy, but it did have that 90's B-horror slasher flick atmosphere. The only difference is that it had a very clever and fun script. There were a huge amount of memorable lines, some of them were easily some of the best X-Files dialog moments. ever.

What I loved most about this episode was that both Mulder and Scully got to play a different character. Especially Scully, who was rude and loud all the way through. She might have been a little irritating at first, but it was fitting and she had the best lines for once.

The only minor bad points was the teen cast, none of them were very talented and delivered some lines badly. But that can easily be overlooked.

I'm gonna give this episode FOUR stars, yet another strong Season 3 episode.
