I guess X-Files and SPN have a different kind of creepy ... ooh, and I think I just hit on it: the other thing I didn't like about X-Files was this sort of depressing emotional emptiness, which is much more akin to SPN in its first seasons (except that I like SPN because there IS love, even if it was also bleak as fuck). Then SPN got warmer and more fun, and the horror was a lot less intense most of the time, so it got much easier for me to take.
