“The X-Files” Episode “Home” May Be Getting A Sequel!
TVLine is reporting that the second episode of the upcoming six-episode season for “The X-Files” will be a sequel to “Home”, the highly acclaimed episode from the fourth season.
The reasoning for this comes from two pieces of evidence:
1) The episode’s name is “Home Again”.
2) The writer/director of the episode is Glen Morgan, who, along with James Wong, wrote the “Home” episode.
“Home” is considered by many to be one of the greatest episodes in the sci-fi/horror drama series. It follows Mulder and Scully as they investigate the death of an infant born with severe birth defects. This leads them to the home of The Peacocks, a family of deformed farmers. Things get very scary and strange in this episode, which was the first, and apparently only, of the series to warrant a TV-MA rating.
The new season of The X-Files will air in early 2016.
Below is a fan trailer for “Home”.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
