VHS

VHS is a videotape storage format. Until DVD, it was the main storage medium for home video. Every season of The X-Files, was released on VHS, and key 2-3 parters were edited into single ‘movies’ and given their own individual release.

The Files

Key 2-3 parters were edited into single ‘movies’ and given their own individual release. The first release was "The Unopened File" as the the resolution to "Anasazi" had yet to be broadcast in the UK,

Typically, these complilations would have their titles superimposed over the normal TXF credits. Also, earlier releases were packaged with Trading Cards with artwork based on the tape's story. Some releases featured interviews with Chris Carter
