"Since the world is on a delusional course, we must adopt a delusional standpoint towards the world."
--Jean Baudrillard
On the X-Files, the dream world and the waking world collide- with the tendrils from one firmly wrapped around the throat of the other. As these six tapes from the second season show, aliens have no monopoly on malice and the evil that men do is even more insidious than any threat from the skies. Now six more episodes from the second season are available on video for viewing, pondering, rewinding, and rewatching, two stories per tape. Here we see the strange fraternity that exists between The Cigarette Smoking Man and Mulder's father, catch a glimpse of Samantha Mulder, witness a devil worshipping PTA, encounter a Felliniesque band of circus freaks and geeks, and meet perhaps the most chilling monster yet: a human who preys on the dead. Watch at your own risk... Irresistible After a woman's grave is desecrated in Minneapolis, local agents suspect alien activity, but Mulder diagnoses it as the work of a "death fetishist" who compulsively collects the hair and fingernails of dead women. When psychopath Donnie Pfaster targets Scully as his next trophy, Mulder frantically tries to track them down. Die Hand Die Verletzt When a boy is killed in the forest in a ritualistic manner, the devil-worshipping administrators of a New England high school find themselves up against not only Scully and Mulder, but a teacher with strange powers, a man-eating snake, and Satan himself. Colony Mulder and Scully are on the trail of a shape-shifting alien assassin who is murdering mysteriously identical-looking doctors in the Northeast, as Mulder is reunited with a woman claiming to be his sister Samantha-22 years after her abduction. End Game When Scully is taken hostage by an alien bounty hunter, Mulder is forced to choose between saving his partner or his sister- an excruciating ordeal that causes him to seek the truth and look death in the face in the frozen desert of the Arctic ice shield. Humbug The search for a serial killer leads Scully and Mulder to a Felliniesque Florida community of circus performers, sideshow acts, and carnival freaks, whose numbers are dwindling because of a mysterious malicious force. Anasazi When an amateur computer hacker gains access to top secret Defense Department files that contain evidence of the existence of UFOs, Mulder takes a trip to Navajo land in New Mexico and discovers a boxcar filled with the desiccated alien corpses and evidence of terrible atrocities. Eighteen more of the finest episodes from the beginning and end of the first season and the beginning of the second season are available on 9 video cassettes, two stories per cassette.
