If you were going to, for want of a better word, colour-theme the individual episodes of Eerie, what colour schemes would you use and why?

Foreverware: to me, this would be in bright plasticy '50s colours, like you were in a sockhop themed diner, all neon pinks and blues and greens.

Lost Hour: because milk trucks and the Eerie Dairy feature so heavily in this one, I'm colour it blue and white, like the trucks, the milkmans unicorms, and of course the milk itself

Dead Letter: muted pinks and greys and purples, because you see Mary B. wearing pale pink in the flashback, and because the whole episode is a viewed through a nostalgia filter from Tripp's POV, and to me nostalgia reads as a sepia tint on everything, the colours would be a little faded and washed out

Mister Chaney: all the autumn colours. Golds and reds and orange and dark green and deep brown. It's an episode about the harvest and the changing of the seasons, soto me that makes sense.

Broken Record: red and black, like the Pitbulls album covers and the new look that Todd adopts.

Loyal Order of Corn: bright greens and yellows, like the uniforms of the Order themselves

Scariest Home Movies: greyscale. Blacks and whites and greys of various shades, like the old b&w movie Harley gets sucked into.

Marshall's Theory of Believabily: deep dark blues like the night sky, and silver for the ufos, the stars, and Professor Nigel Zircon's Travelling Museum of the Parabelievable.

What about you guys?

... interesting question.... Okay, trying not to look at your answers so I don't get influenced here...

Zombies in PJs - purple and orange. I was going to say purple and green because that's the standard colour combo for gothy-spooky-quirky stuff, but for some reason my brain is insisting on the orange, so yeah. Purple and orange. In stripes. Like pjs...

The Losers - Dark brown and beige. I think it fits Lodgepoole's 1930's clothing and the music during the ep.

Loyal Order of the Corn - Red, silver and black. Pretty damn slick and classy when you think that it's representing our boy Dash...

I would never have come up with purple and orange for the zombies in pjs, but that makes.total sense, given the garish mismatch of sleepwear on display (thank god nobody in eerie sleeps naked!).

definite respounding yes on black silver n red for dash bartending outfit in loyal order and love the idea of dustbowl era colour scheme for the bureau, esp. given that them not being around actually caused the great depression

Reality Takes a Holiday: the colours pf the nbc peacock, yellow, orange, red, purple, blue and green

Retainer: white and pink, because mouths

Tornado Days: bright blue and white, like a clear sky, indispersed with dark stormy grey

Hole in the Head Gang: sandy dusty colours to go with Grungy Bill's outfit

ATM with a Heart of Gold: red and blue, to go with Mr Wilsons bowtie and backdrop and the rosettes at the unveiling ceremony

Whos Who: pastel pinks and blues, like the dresses Sara Sue and Marilyn wear and the streamers Sara Sue's dream family decorate the house in

Heart on a Chain I think would be red and black for me as well, because it's Devon's colour scheme and later Melanie adopts it, but alternated with white and pink like her room is decorated in as a callback to her old self
