The Naked Man Who Tried to Shut Down the X-Files

To properly understand this strange The X-Files a story about a naked enemy of the crew, you need to learn a little more about the episode in question. “Shadows” was a season one episode that was a bit different and focused on a vengeful ghost rather than aliens, monsters, or shady government conspiracies. This happened at the request of 20th Century Fox, which did everything in its power to ask the show’s writers to start telling ghost stories.

The ghost in this episode does everything he can to protect a woman named Lauren from various threats, including two assassins sent to kill her. To bring this terrifying storyline to life, the show’s crew had to shoot a nighttime scene in which the attackers go after the woman in question. It sounds pretty simple on paper The X-Files scene, but the crew ultimately faced one man’s (literally) open anger because filming started too late.
