Mulder observed that a vacationer from New Jersey had met a similar fate, and also had two small puncture marks on his neck.

As Scully recounted the events immediately before the killing, she began with the examination of slides of dead cattle whose carcasses had been drained of blood. Immediately after the staking, Scully had pulled a set of fake fangs from the boy’s mouth.

Mulder and Scully had been reprimanded for the killing of Ronnie Strickland (Patrick Renna), a teenage pizza delivery boy, whom Mulder was convinced was a vampire. In the fray, the vampires were finally dispatched.Įarly in 1998, a bit of comic relief was provided for the series in the story “Bad Blood” (aired February 22, 1998). The three attacked Mulder and Kristen, as a fire that was ravishing the neighborhood approached her home. Most unexpectedly, The Son (and two other vampires known as the Father and the Holy Spirit), appeared at Kristen’s house the next day claiming that he was immortal and was even impervious to sunlight. Before his interrogation was over, Mulder spent the night with Kristen. Mulder then headed for “Club Tepes” where he met Kristen (Perrey Reeves) who recounted how she first met The Son. Horrified, guards watched him burn to death as the sun hit him. The man, called The Son (Frank Military), was arrested and threatened with direct sunlight unless he talked. Mulder tracked a first suspect to the Hollywood Blood Bank, where he found a man dining on human blood. He had been drained of blood and fang marks were found on his jugular vein. The first case to investigate was the death of a Los Angeles businessman attacked in his jacuzzi. However, along the way, on at least two occasions Mulder and Scully ran into very traditional vampires.ĭuring the second season, in the episode entitled simply “3” (aired November 4, 1994), Mulder reopened the temporarily closed X-files project. And again in “Avatar” (aired April 26, 1996), they ran up against a succubus. He survived by taking the fatty tissue from his victims. Over the years they investigated a variety of situations involving everything from UFO abductions to Satanism.Īlong the way the duo of investigators encountered a number of vampirelike creatures, such as Virgil Incanto, the villain in “2 Shy” (aired November 3, 1995), described as a fat-sucking vampire. His partner was Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson), a skeptical agent, who believed in scientific explanations more than paranormal ones.

The FBI assigned special agent Fox Mulder (David Duchovny) to handle the investigations in spite of the belief of many colleagues that he was too much of a believer. Its starting premise was that the FBI has designated a set of cases that had a supernatural, paranormal, or extraterrestrial component for investigation as the unknown or x-files. X-Files was a popular television series that ran from 1993 to 2002.
