“The X-Files” creator Chris Carter and series writer/director/producer Frank Spotnitz were on hand Wednesday morning as Twentieth Century Fox donated a collection of items from “The X-Files” to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.
The donation included an original television pilot invalidScriptTag, a scale model that was used to build the show’s alien suits, Agent Scully’s cross and the “I Want to Believe” poster that hung in Agent Mulder’s office, now signed by stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson.

Dwight Blocker Bowers, curator of the museum’s division of music, sports and entertainment, said “The X-Files” featured a world with “an almost nightmarish blend of the normal and the paranormal” — kind of like living in D.C., he joked.
Carter likened the feeling of seeing “The X-Files” become a part of the Smithsonian to something from his show. “Standing up here feels like an X-File in itself to me,” Carter said.
Carter also plugged the upcoming “X-Files” movie multiple times, which will be released July 25. He said that part of the reason he wanted to make the movie was for the “hard-core fans.”
“There are people who know more about ‘The X-Files’ now than I do,” Carter said.
