X-Files episode "War of the Coprophages" aired 1996


(Why, yes, I have personally been attacked by a flying cockroach.)


One of the best, funniest and creepiest X-Files episodes, "War of the Coprophages" aired January 5, 1996.  People in a small town fear they are being invaded by giant, man-eating cockroaches that can swallow a person whole.  Mulder goes to investigate mysterious deaths, supposedly caused by cockroaches.  Scully, of course, has a logical explanation for everything even though she's on the phone with Mulder most of the time. 

According to imdb.com, the car crash in this scene was actually real.  Gillian Anderson never breaks character and continues the scene when she realizes no one is hurt.
