Crew or equipment visible: When Mulder breaks the chair in the motel room during his version of the story a hand is seen placing a stake onto the remnants of the chair. This is possibly deliberate because it adds to the comedic value of the two-story theme for this particular episode, with Mulder and Scully arguing about minute details.

Just checked in on this ep. again after several years. I was reminded of it after recently catching another early Luke Wilson vehicle, "Bottle Rocket".
I always liked the dark humor episodes way better than the "conspiracy" ones on the X-Files, and this one is obviously one of the former. Wise-cracking autopsies, sarcastic morticians, and Luke wearing nasty fake choppers are sure to delight. And when was the last time you saw one of those 1970's "Magic Fingers" beds in a motel anyway?
Throw in some trailer trash vampires (not quite as vicious as Lance Henriksen and his NEAR DARK crew), and you've got another winner from the pen of Vince Gilligan.
