When "Home" aired on October 11, 1996, it was the only X-Files episode at that time to receive a TV-MA rating, because of its controversial nature. Mulder and Scully investigate the case of a severely deformed infant who was buried alive in a picturesque, small-town America place, Home, Pennsylvania. The leads take them to a household where the deformed, monster-like Peacock brothers live.
Although the Fox network banned the episode after it aired, it has been one of the most critically acclaimed episodes of the series. During a particularly gruesome scene, "Wonderful, Wonderful" a song by Johnny Mathis is playing in the background. Mathis refused to allow his version of the song be used so a sound-alike was used instead. I won't be able to listen to the song anymore, no matter who is singing it, without remembering this episode.
