So, following this comment thread, I was wondering... what cocktails do you think they serve in Eerie? What's on the specials board at the Loyal Order of Corn? What's the Mayor throwing back after a hard day, or raising a glass of in celebration when he successfully feeds a teenage boy to a slavering wolfman? And in the alternate reality where Eerie was a juggernaut fandom with it's very own annual convention and a hotel bar decked out in yellows and greens and giant inter-dimensional TV sets, what's on the menu for thirsty fans looking for a pleasantly alcoholic beverage?

Today marks the anniversary of Foreverware airing for the first time on Channel Four. In honour of this, your prompt for today is "across the pond."

It's National Puppy Day in the US, so how about some fanworks featuring Fifi, Fluffy, and the rest of Eerie's rebellious doggos?

If you haven’t already heard, this year marks Hocus Pocus’ twenty-fifth anniversary. Disney has rolled out special merchandize, events, and programming to celebrate this cult classic. It’s been almost a decade since I last watched Hocus Pocus. So I recently viewed it again. I have to say that I’m a little terrified that, as a thirty-something, I now identify with the Sanderson sisters’ quest for eternal youth. Re-watching Hocus Pocus inspired me to binge watch other shows and movies with a similar theme of the quest for eternal life and youth. These are just some that come to mind, but I would love to hear your Hocus Pocus inspired picks in the comments below!

Eerie, Indiana (1991)

This TV show follows Marshall (Omri Katz) and Simon (Justin Shenkarow) as they investigate supernatural occurrences in the small town of Eerie, Indiana. No one else in the town believes them so it is up to them to save the oblivious townspeople from the strange happenings. In one particular episode, a group of people appear to never age. For decades, they have remained the same. Marshall and Simon discover that there are secret “Forever Ware” parties, like Tupperware except it seals in the freshness of their youth. Too bad the Sanderson sisters were burned before the invention of Forever Ware. Eerie, Indiana had a great cast and notable guest stars like John Astin (Adams Family), Stephen Root (True Blood), and Henry Gibson (The Burbs). It’s a shame that the show only ran for one season. It had some great family friendly stories and frequently referenced horror film classics.

What Hocus Pocus fans will love about this show: Omri Katz (AKA Max), Jason Marsden (AKA the voice of Thackery Binx), clueless parents in need of saving, and nineties nostalgia.

this one!

here's the gifset


overall warning for flickering in pretty much everything to do with this post.

I was super interested in the marshall and simon bits, since I've actually giffed that whole ass scene from Changing Channels and as demonstrated by this gifset, (its a little fast, sorry i was still new to gifmaking) that does not happen. Pretty cool imo.  The other flickering gif comes from Nightmare on Eerie Street, Im pretty sure. and Ollie! The Phantom is kind of an overlooked episode so it's cool he's getting some rep.

I was rewatching Fluffy's introductory scene in the Retainer and noticed the fire hydrant he's standing next to is yellow:

I thought hydrants were always red (they're not really a thing in the UK) and wondered if this was like when a town produces an Olympic athlete and repaints a telephone booth or a post box to celebrate. A quick Google search says that a yellow fire hydrant can mean it's connected to a public water supply, and gold brings up the hydrants from the 1906 San Fransisco quake. However, it seems like these are guidelines rather than rules, so now I'm wondering what a yellow/gold fire hydrant means in Eerie.
