Trivia

• While he wasnt marketed as such, the Cryptkeeper could work as an icon going by a icon standards (especially Julian). He had a house, helmed the parade, was the media gift and was featured on at least one piece of merchandise. Given that 2010 retconned every year sans 2008 to be influenced by Adaru, it could be interpreted that Adaru the Sumerian God chose Cryptkeeper to once again bring darkness to Universal.
• There was an unofficial X-Files scarezone in Hollywood that featured aliens, Mulder, Scully, and the Chainsaw Drill Team.
