This episode takes place in August (when Scully is setting up for the autopsy, she dictates that it's August 29th). Two episodes previously, it was September 21.
Principal Setting:
Cleveland, Ohio
While investigating the first murder at the beginning of the episode, the lead detective is seen having a conversation with two other detectives. We hear both speak, but neither man opens his mouth. This is pretty obvious overdubbing of background actors who never had a line.
42:30 Killer has gunshot hole in his shirt before the gun is fired.
When Scully turns around to look at clock 9:51, a light is turned on causing a reflection in the forward left leg of the table, than at 9:53 it is gone, and it is back again at 9:57.
Location ticker reads "Cleveland Police Department" 30:28, yet the lettering on the wall reads "Metropolitan Police Department".
Goof: Scully says that while going through the list of women recovered from 2Shy's computer, she says that she could reach all but two, and that she "...left messages on their answering machines." However, when the scene returns to Ellen's apartment, there is no indication that the phone has rung; instead, she receives notification by e-mail, which Scully did not mention sending.
Depending on the unit, an answering machine message is usually heard while it is being recorded (for people who are screening calls).
Scully said she would call the women on the list, but the computer technician did the emailing. The women were both emailed and telephoned separately.
When the body of the prostitute is discovered by her fellow colleague, she is on her back with the face 'melted'. When Mulder and Scully look at the body she is face down with her head turned to one side.
Scully: Why?
Virgil Incanto: When you look at me you see a monster. But I was just feeding a hunger.
Scully: You're more than a monster. You didn't just feed on their bodies. You fed on their minds.
Virgil Incanto: My weakness was no greater than theirs. I gave them what they wanted, they gave me what I needed.
Scully: Not anymore.
Mulder: There are examples of this in nature, aren't there?
Scully: Yes, scorpions predigest their food outside of their body by regurgitating onto their prey. But I don't know too many scorpions who surf the Internet.
The Son: Don't you want to live forever?
Mulder: Not if drawstring pants come back in style.
Mulder: It's still just a theory, but what if the killer isn't acting out of some psychotic impulse, but out of a more physical hunger?
(Talking to Mulder about the killer.)
Scully: From a dry-skin sample, you're concluding what? That he's some kind of a fat-sucking vampire?
Landlady: I wish you weren't always so rude to him.
Jesse: I don't care. He creeps me out. Plus he smells gross, like he uses dish soap for aftershave.
Kerry Sandomirsky, who plays Joanne in this episode also appears as Tracy in the first season's episode "Roland".
During filming, Mulder and Scully's stand-ins inadvertently walked into the wrong condominium. They had to walk across a patio and through a door, but because all the doors looked the same, the pair accidentally stepped into the next-door neighbour's place while the couple entertained dinner guests.
On set this episode was nicknamed the 'lick me-kill me' episode.
Mulder: Looks like she took her pound of flesh, huh?
Mulder says this when he finds skin under Holly's nails. It's a reference to Shakespeare's play The Merchant of Venice, in which Shylock demands Antonio give him a pound of flesh to repay a debt.
