RudyRuth's Eerie, Indiana fanart

[froodle]

I LOVE halloween. This time of year is THE best time of year for me. Somehow, I managed to married a guy who was actually born on Halloween?! Crazy huh! However, totally back fired on me (not that I married him for this reason) but he's not that keen on Halloween, due to the celebrations stealing the lime light :( Booooo!

Putting halloween aside, I've always had an obsession with Eerie Indiana. I watched it over and over when I was a kid (also because I had a crush on Marshall Teller). A few years back I got the DVD box set so I could watch my fave show over and over and over and over and...
Both me and Alan LOVE it. Every time I watch an episode I notice something or laugh at something that I hadn't noticed before or understood when I was a kid. I really don't understand though, why it's not more popular?!

This year my inspiration of my fancy dress outfit is episode #5 'Scariest Home Videos'. Where Simons little brother switches places by accident with a mummy in an old black and white film! So, I've stocked up the bandages and I'll post a picture after halloween :)

Loving the series so much and getting uber geeky about it i've done a couple of drawings inspired by my favorite show. Hope you like!

Teen Beat interview with Omri Katz. March 1993

[froodle]

Last May, the folks at Universal Studios called up Teen Beat to invite us to the set of their new movie, "Matinee". Of course, we said we'd be there! Editorial Assistant Jane Checkett grabbed her sunscreen and hopped on the next plane to Orlando, Florida to get the behind-the-sceens scoop and to visit with the teen cast, which includes British babe Simon Fenton, Kellie Martin, Omri Katz, Lisa Jakub, and James Villemaire.

"Matinee" is a dark comedy about a group of friends who spend a day at the movies and learn, in one comically terrifying afternoon, the true meaning of love and friendship. The setting is Key West, Florida in 1962, just at the start of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Bloody Good Horror lists the top 9 horror shows from the 90s

[froodle]

The last of the kid friendly horror shows on the list, Eerie Indiana is by far the best of the bunch. The stories are unique, and it doesn't rely on common horror stories. With the mass amounts of creativity, and the compelling plot this is a must see for horror fans. The series involves a series of bizarre occurrences happening around the town of Eerie, Indiana. Marshall, and his friend Simon spend their time investigating the oddities of the town, and have their own private museum dedicated to cataloging the bizarre. Joe Dante director of horror classics like Gremlins, and The Howling directs 5 episodes of the series including the pilot. The series while mainly kid friendly does have some hidden adult elements in the background if you pay attention. The show was popular enough to get a spin-off series in 1998 called “Eerie Indiana: The Other Dimension”, but it only lasted a single season.

Infinite Coolness reviews Eerie, Indiana

[froodle]

Eerie Indiana is all about Marshall Teller [Omri Katz from The John Larroquette Show, Freaks & Geeks and Matinee], who lives in the strangest town in the world.

He and his best buddy Simon Holmes [Justin Shenkarow from Picket Fences, Lloyd In Space and Recess] are pretty much the only ones who notice or at least admit that all this weirdness is going on.

So they take it apon themselves to Mulder and Skully the place and keep track of the craziness they find. The rest of the cast is phenominal too, including Mary-Margaret Humes [from Manimal, The A-Team, Hunter, Night Court and Time Trax] as Marshall's hot mom Marilyn, Francis Guinan [from Alien Nation, Dark Skies, Sliders, That 70's Show, Star Trek Voyager, Spin City, Seven Days, The Practice and Grey's Anatomy] as Marshall's dad Edgar, the super hot Julie Condra [from The Wonder Years, Married With Children and Weird Science] as Marshall's sister Syndi, Gregory Itzin [from 24, Voyagers!, Street Hawk, Max Headroom, Night Court, Quantum Leap, Strange Luck, Players, Early Edition, The Practice and Friends] as the mayor of Eerie, John Astin [from The Addams Family, Fantasy Island, Mr. Boogedy, Night Court, Duckman and The Frighteners] as the real Radford, and Jason Marsden [from The Gummi Bears, Shnookums and Meat Funny Cartoon Show, Superman TAS, Justice League and Fun With Dick and Jane].

.Along with a cool cast, the stories are great too, including one that shows where lost stuff goes, a kid who can hear what dogs are thinking, and one where an artificially intelligent ATM makes friends with Simon and gives him lots of money. Most episodes have a great Twilight Zone or Outer Limits vibe to them, and only a few episodes are less than fantastic! Eerie Indiana isn't just a kids show, anyone who likes good tv should love it. It was cancelled after just one season but the reruns were very popular a few years later so they tried to do "The Other Dimension" but it didn't have the coolness of the original. The Eerie Indiana logo will link to the cool site I'm working on.

NME lists 20 awesome 90s tv shows that should make a comeback

[froodle]

Set in the fictional town of Eerie, Indiana, where a more concentrated stream of weird shit happens than the murders of Midsomer Norton, this cult classic just needs a (faux) reality show reboot to get the full 360 degree experience. The Only Way Is Eerie, anyone?

Rebrn forum thread on Eerie, Indiana

[froodle]

Has anyone else seen Eerie, Indiana? It was an early 90's kid show that was way ahead of its time. I would compare it to a kid's version of X-Files with dark themes.

10 STARS READY TO SOAR THIS SEASON

Omri Katz learned acting at the master’s knee. For the last eight seasons, he played J.R. Ewing’s son, John Ross Ewing III, on Dallas opposite veteran actor Larry Hagman. “I worked a lot with Larry and I got to know him the most. He jumps around the set, and he’s very funny”, says the 15-year-old, who got his start doing commercials. Dallas is TV history now, but Katz has found a new town to call home: Eerie, Indiana, NBC’s sitcom about a teenager with an overactive imagination who sees all sorts of horrors in the shady streets of his small town. Maybe J.R. is lurking somewhere in the leafy shadows.

IDVice suggests what to watch after you've binged Stranger Things

[froodle]

If you grew up in the 90s you probably remember Eerie, Indiana, that weird kids show starring the floppy-haired teen from Hocus Pocus. In it, Marshall 'Mars' Teller moves to the squeaky clean suburb of Eerie, "the center of weirdness for the entire planet." Basically, freaky shit happens in Eerie. Who could forget the episode where a woman vacuum-seals her twin sons in 'foreverware' each night so they don't age? Along with his sidekick/best mate Simon Holmes — the only one who believes him about the town — Mars rides his bike through the weirdness. Watching it now, you recognize how Lynchian it is: the darkness that lurks beyond the white picket fences of suburbia. "Sure my town looks normal enough, but look again."

Deja Reviewer lists ten obscure shows they loved as a kid

[froodle]

Now this was a show that lived up to its title. Eerie, Indiana was creepy and yet funny, if I remember correctly. Kids would get into all sorts of trouble with things that go bump in the night, but I don’t think anyone ever died or anything like that. I think there was an episode about a mummy wandering around the town, though I could be mixing that up with Amazing Stories – another great TV show. Eerie, Indiana starred the kid who would later go on to star in Hocus Pocus. Great casting, if you ask me. He’s often at his wit’s end in both of them.

Honcho FX: 22 things you need to know about Hocus Pocus

[froodle]

As promised, what with this being the month of Halloween and all, the Honcho-SFX blog is back with another spooktacular themed post, to terrify you to the very core!

Oh, wait a minute, today’s entry isn’t all that terrifying; instead it’s quite nice really. You see, today the Honcho-SFX blog is all about one of the best – if not the best – Halloween-themed movies of all time – Hocus Pocus! Oh, well, whilst it might not be terrifying, Hocus Pocus is still pretty awesome and completely in-keeping with the theme, so let’s continue.

Produced by Walt Disney Pictures and released in 1993, Hocus Pocus is a light-hearted supernatural comedy which is now regarded as an annual favourite for Halloween lovers. To put it quite simply, Hocus Pocus is to Halloween, what Home Alone (1990) and The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) is to Christmas and it’s not all that surprising really as it is packed with colourful characters, a talking cat, a well placed musical number and enough soft scares to keep the whole family entertained – yep, even the youngest members of the household.

But did you know that Hocus Pocus was not always so popular? You didn’t? Well, read on for a few facts that should tell you just about everything you need to know about Hocus Pocus. And as it’s 22 years since Hocus Pocus first hit cinema screens, you’ll find 22 facts below.
