Was shocking at the time. Still is actually. The director got taken to court because they thought it was real. He was acquitted when the actors showed up.
Green Inferno came out a few years ago. That was Eli's Roth's tribute to it.

I haven't. Will check it out.
I'm not a big fan of stuff like that. I don't know. Just seems lazy more than scary. I guess I prefer the atmosphere and story rather than shock value. The remake of The Hills Have Eyes is a good example. That opening rape scene didn't really need to be there. Was done to make people uncomfortable.
Ah ok. Yeah, I don't have a problem with that.
The Omen. That's one I forgot. Gregory Peck is always good and the nanny scene is a classic.
Yep, that's the one.
Was around $200-250 I think. Something like that. I remember I got that and something similar for The X-Files around the same time.
That's a good one. The episode is called 'Squeeze'. It's in the first season. Has Doug Hutchinson play the villain. He was the actor who played the sadistic guard in The Green Mile. He's a weirdo in real life too.
'Home' is probably recognized as their scariest episode. Was banned for a while in some places.
Incest and a deformed, murderous family. It copped most flack due to the killing of an infant I think. Some of the movies mentioned are much worse but this was primetime TV in the mid-90s so was a bit much for the time.
Season one was sci-fi too. It declined a bit after filming moved from Vancouver to LA in season 6. Obviously lots of sci-fi throughout but if that's not your thing there are some great stand-alone episodes too.
