Jenny-Lynn Hutcheson as Polly Turner holds her doll in 'The X-Files' episode "Chinga."

The Big Picture When someone as big as Stephen King says that they want to write for your show, it just makes sense to let them. The King of Horror has been around now for a long time, and back in the '90s, he was as popular as ever . Some poor adaptations of his work aside, translating King from the page to the screen has often been a treat, and recent years have shown how faithful adaptations can be done.

Working alongside local police chief Jack Bonsaint , Scully eventually comes to the conclusion that something supernatural is going on. As people who encounter Polly and Melissa continue to end up dead or disfigured around town, she forsakes her initial conclusions that there must be some rational explanation to all this, and begins to entertain Mulder's over-the-phone theories about witchcraft.

Chris Carter Received Co-Writer Credit After Rewriting Much of Stephen King's Material The making of "Chinga" sounds like it was quite a production. According to Resist or Serve: The Official Guide to The X-Files, Vol. 4 by Andy Meisler, the King-penned X-Files had its roots in Jeopardy! of all things. X-Files star David Duchovny was on the game show alongside Stephen King for the 1995 "Celebrity Jeopardy! Game 1" where they first spoke about the show.
