It's Tuesday, so today you get a choice between two prompts. Pick one, combine both, pit them against each other - on Tuesday, you choose!

This week, your options are:

Eerie Cemetery versus Eerie Deli

Gloomy25: Screenshots from Unknown Show (help me find the name of the show!)

Two boys are crossdressing to sneak in somewhere, I think.

It looks like they are caught but they are distracted by something.

In walks in a girl, which I think both the boys know her already.

I tried trying keywords of this image on Google but nothing showed up. Anyways, one of the boys is talking to her and in the clip she seems to be listening attentively.

This shot basically explains how I feel trying to find the name of the TV show... JK, she takes of the mask and everybody in the room is flabbergasted.

A close up of one of the young actors. He seems so familiar but I can't remember him!

Xrfgtjtk: "Old TV series about a missing boy talking to parents through his picture on milk box"

[froodle]

I've seen this on TV in mid 00's, but the show might be older.

The plot I remember:

A boy goes missing into some kind of alternate world

There are some "garbage men" in white jumpsuits who collect trash and this boy hides from them

In the real world he is put on milk carton box's "Missing kids" section and he somehow communicates to his parents through this box.

I've been told that this is The Twilight Zone, but I carefully watched 1985 and 2002 revivals and there was not this episode (or I missed an episode) and I doubt that 1950-1960's show would have been on TV in mid 00's.

So, the question is - if that is actually The Twiligt Zone, which revival/season/episode is that? If not, which show might that be?

Nikita Neganov:

This calls to mind an episode of Eerie, Indiana - "The Lost Hour", wherein the main character, Marshall Teller (in the series, all sorts of strange things happen in the namesake town and he and his friend Simon are two of the only people who pay enough attention to notice) somehow gets trapped in a version of the town empty except for a missing girl about his age, the sinister garbage men and an old milkman (who is hinted to be an older Marshall somehow). While he's trapped in this alternate world his face does show up on a milk carton.
