As an elder millennial, I was just young enough to sneak in episodes of The X-Files when I probably shouldn’t have been watching it—but I did anyway, and it was glorious.
The creepy vibe, the weird stories, the Mulder and Scully chemistry—I was hooked.
This show was a cultural moment that every Gen Xer knows by heart, and us younger folks were lucky enough to catch it, too.
For this post, I’ve gathered some incredible behind-the-scenes pics from the set that will hit you right in the nostalgia.
Whether you’re Team Mulder, Team Scully, or just here for the government conspiracies, these shots will take you back to the golden age of TV sci-fi.
