The truth is in here! 👽 Join us for an incredible reunion panel featuring the legendary cast of my favorite freakin show ever - The X-Files. Over 30 years later, it’s standing room only as Gillian Anderson (Dana Scully), Mitch Pileggi (Walter Skinner), William B. Davis (Cigarette Smoking Man), Robert Patrick (John Doggett), Annabeth Gish (Monica Reyes) and Laurie Holden (Marita Covarrubias) take the stage together!
In this hilarious and revealing Q&A - live from MonsterMania 2025 in Oaks, Pennsylvania, the stars look back on the cultural phenomenon that changed television. They share terrifying real-life paranormal experiences, recount embarrassing on-set moments involving real maggots, tell legendary stories about director Kim Manners, and discuss if creator Chris Carter actually predicted the future.
Plus, find out which cast member is a total skeptic, how Mitch Pileggi met his wife on set, and Gillian Anderson’s non-answer about eating that cricket!
