It's Friday, Eerie fans, and it's a great time to look back on all the sweet fanworks you've created over the years. Why not revisit some sweet artwork, admire someone's crafting efforts or leave an appreciative comment on an uploaded video?

Double R Diner pop-up at SXSW

[froodle]

AUSTIN - Do you dream about biting into Los Pollos Hermanos' fried chicken from Breaking Bad? Have you always wanted to plop down in Twin Peak's Double R Diner for a "damn fine" cup of coffee and slice of cherry pie?

You're in luck.

Eerie, Indiana drabble: Postal

[froodle]

The sound of gunfire echoed down the quiet streets of early-morning Eerie. Sat at the Teller’s kitchen table, Simon and Marshall turned as one to stare at the toaster that sat on the kitchen counter amid a sea of crumbs. The toaster, for it’s part, continued turning two halves of an English muffin into two blackened lumps of carbon.

“Mail’s here,” said Syndi, spreading butter on a ragged square of charcoal. She rose on tiptoe to peer over the greenery that half-obscured the view from the kitchen window. “And that big dog’s come back again.”

Marshall choked on his juice.

John Astin voices anti-fracking radio ad

[froodle]

From the Washington Times:

The actor who played the patriarch in “The Addams Family” TV show said the gas drilling process known as fracking is no joke.

John Astin, a Baltimore native and comedian who played Gomez Addams, is the voice of a radio ad that supporters of a ban are broadcasting Thursday morning.

Astin says in the ad there’s nothing funny about poisoning drinking water and the air we breathe.

A measure to ban fracking in Maryland is advancing in the legislature. A bill to ban the practice already has passed the House of Delegates. A Senate panel passed the bill on Wednesday, and Gov. Larry Hogan says he supports it.

Fracking isn’t being done in Maryland now, but a moratorium on issuing permits ends in October.

Paintings from Rod Serling's Night Gallery now viewable online!

[froodle]

The three canvases produced for the pilot film were painted by Jaroslav “Jerry” Gebr. The paintings for the series were painted by Tom Wright, who rarely paints anymore and currently works as a TV director (The X-Files, Millennium, The Wire, NCIS). Wright began painting in oils on canvas in the first season, then switched primarily to acrylics on masonite board for the rest of the series paintings. When Night Gallery was prepared for syndication, episodes of another series, The Sixth Sense, were included in the syndication package. New introductions with Rod Serling were filmed, and the paintings for the 25 additional episodes were painted by the artist for the Gallery pilot, Jaroslav Gebr. None of these 25 extra paintings are included here.

April Special at Froday Flash Fiction Challenge

[froodle]

The monthly special challenge over at fffc is up, and the theme is "all to do with beginnings and endings. Or maybe endings and beginnings. As an egg ends by cracking, so new life begins, whether insect, reptile or bird. It could be the beginning or ending of life, or a relationship, or maybe just a transformation. It could be either a beginning, or an ending, or both."

Cassette Tape cube lamp on Etsy

I mean, yes, technically an eight track cube lamp would be more Eerie-esque, but how would you get the light to shine through a bunch of those things?
