The music playing as they drive along and pull in, is what gives it that added class. :) That scene at the house, brutal and of excellent quality. I'm like, you probably wanna take that with you bud. When he gets out his gun and looks to see that no bullets have been fired, then puts it back. Sheriff Taylor: Their folks were in a bad car wreck and we suppose they died. Tucker Smallwood's really good in his one time appearance as the sheriff. I was really surprised how calm Scully was throughout the episode. No not wonderful, of a disturbing high quality though. Home is about the investigation into the death of a newborn child, buried by a deformed family through generations of inbreeding. Personally, I think it contained some tour de force writing that makes it memorable for many years after having first seen it, but on the flip side, probably viewing it once every twenty years or so is enough. Anyway, the episode garners critical acclaim today for the way it was written and filmed, even though at the time it originally aired it carried a viewer discretion warning, the only X-File to do so.
Oddly, the name of the singer is not mentioned in stories I've read about the episode and remains anonymous.
Not surprisingly, Mathis declined his version of the song to be used in the story because of it's unwholesome subject matter, so the producers had to find someone to do the cover. Adding to the bizarre nature of the story, the film makers chose to provide the Johnny Mathis hit, 'Wonderful, Wonderful' as part of the scoring for the episode. I guess the writers were trying to maintain some balance of normalcy here for a demented story about a family of troglodyte farmers suffering severe, multiple birth defects and passing on their genes via the incapacitated mother's compliant reproductive behavior. And yet, writers Glen Morgan and James Wong managed to inject some humor into the story line, with Scully cracking wise about Mulder's preference to retire to a town like Mayberry, only to have Sheriff Andy Taylor (Tucker Smallwood) show up with an appropriately named deputy, Barney.Paster (Sebastian Spence). Peacock (Karin Konova) staring out at you from underneath the floorboard, you think to yourself 'how much worse can it get', and ultimately come to realize that that was only the beginning of the horror to come.

For some perspective, it edges out what I think is one of the most terrifying endings I've ever seen, in a movie titled "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas".

This episode was then, and remains now, the most disturbing show I've ever seen, whether it be on TV or in the movies.
