[froodle]

Just re-watched #EerieIndiana for the first time in 20+ years and what a show! It was so smart and ahead of its time. The symbolism, themes, references, the theories we've come up with it...I could go on and on! @UnrealKarl @joe_dante @justinshenkarow pic.twitter.com/5E9bzyKMZ2

Is Hawkins Indiana anywhere near Eerie Indiana? If so, it would explain a lot.

One of the best things about having a kid is that you know gifts you get them for birthdays and Christmas can be as much for you as them. What I'm trying to say is, I got Aidan the Eerie, Indiana boxset for Christmas.

Creepshow, Tales From the Crypt, and Tales From The Darkside all rightly have their fans, but is anyone (besides me) a big fan of Monsters? Loved that show. pic.twitter.com/9m9IULTMDn

I love that list but have never heard of Monsters.
I did love Eerie Indiana and Tales From the Crypt and
I do still believe Goosebumps show needs a DVD set release.

— WithersJohn (@CastlesofImagin) October 4, 2019

Monsters is a lot of fun! Night Visions is a good romp as well as Circle of Fear. I'm gonna start Darkroom tonight. Beasts is pretty good but there's quite a bit of icky 70's misogyny but the eerie stories are great. Eerie, Indiana is some great 90's fun.

#HocusPocus FACT: I had a crush on Thackeray Binx AND Max. I had dreams where I was boyfriend to BOTH of them. But I suppose if I had to choose, it would be Max.

Have you watched Eerie Indiana? Max is really good in that show, too!

Books came out around the time of the second series, The Other Dimension? Which I never watched. So it’s mildly confusing because it parallels that storyline 🤔

9 child stars who quit acting for 'normal' jobs, from Matilda to Chunk

Omri Katz: The Eerie, Indiana actor stole a thousand hearts in the early '90s with his dreamy, floppy hair, but his heart seemed to go out of acting after Disney's cult classic Hocus Pocus.

The word is that he's now a hairdresser working in Los Angeles, although he did sort-of come out of retirement in 2006 for this 'interesting' NSFW short Perfect Girl.

Word is TP will be back as a loosely connected anthology series with a whole new creative team, Lynch and Frost as Executive Producers. Being described as "Eerie, Indiana for adults."

TVTropes on the Eerie Indiana books

[froodle]

In 1997, Eerie, Indiana the Book Series, was a short-lived continuation of the original supernatural series of the same name that aired on NBC over half a decade before it. It was a Children's Literature series released on a monthly basis with each entry clocking in at around 120 pages, similar to the ever-popular Goosebumps. The series followed the new adventures of Marshall Teller and Simon Holmes for the first 12 entries, detailing the exploits of Marshall, a transplant from New Jersey whose family has moved to the small town of Eerie, and Simon, an Eerie native, as they investigate the weirdness that inhabits this town. As the other residents are oblivious to the supernatural nature of the town to the point of denial, Marshall and Simon are left to their own devices to uncover the truth behind both the individual happenings around Eerie, and the secret behind it all. They deal with everything from escaped wild west criminals from cryogenic storage to Bigfoot eating out of the trash.

Then, as of Book 13, Switching Channels, Mitchell Taylor and Stanley Hope of Eerie, Indiana: The Other Dimension fame took over as the main characters following both a dimensional and perspective shift. This lasted a further seven books before getting canned in the final entry, We Wish You an Eerie Christmas.

Allegedly, these books is set a mere one year after the end of the original series, which should make the present year 1993. However, the authors opted to make it the present year of the time, 1997. This isn't the last time they'd play fast and loose with the continuity of the TV show. Authors Mike Ford, John Peel, Jeremy Roberts, Sherry Shahan, and Robert James decided to make the series their own and tell their own overarching story, instead of continuing down the rabbit hole set by the original's creators.

There were 17 books in total over the course of the series' run:

Return to Foreverware
Bureau of Lost
The Eerie Triangle
Simon and Marshall's Excellent Adventure
Have Yourself an Eerie Christmas
Fountain of Weird
Attack of the Two-Ton Tomatoes
Who Framed Alice Prophet
Bring Me a Dream
Finger Lickin' Strange
The Dollhouse That Time Forgot
They Say
Switching Channels
The Incredible Shrinking Stanley
Halloweird
Eerie in the Mirror
We Wish You an Eerie Christmas
This series contains examples of:
Actor Allusion: Several, but some specific examples are:
Mr. Radford (played by John Astin in the TV series), is noted to look like Gomez Addams by Marshall and Simon.
In the first book, Return to Foreverware, Marshall and Simon take an after school job cleaning out the attic of a couple by the name of James and Martha Stewart.
Adults Are Useless: Taken to further extremes here than it ever did on TV. The adults and most of the children of Eerie are so oblivious or in denial that the entire town can start slowly turning into humanoid plants and they wouldn't notice.
Call-Back: Both of the first two books are sequels to episodes from the original series.
Rather fittingly, in keeping with Foreverware being the first episode of the TV show, Return to Foreverware begins the books series.
And Bureau of Lost is a sequel to The Losers.
Shout-Out: In the 4th book, Marshall's class gets a new student named Jazon, who is temporarily living in town with his grandfather, Dr. Foreman. It turns out Jazon's a time travel living in town under false pretenses, to boot. And his home is even disguised as a blue box. Though, since this is America, the only available blue boxes are outhouses, unfortunately.

Here's a collage of prompts for the #mabsdrawlloweenclub of things I didn't want to do a whole piece for. We have our #willothewisp #bat #alien #toystoryalien #toystoryaliens #candleabra #toad it's one of those #chanchu lucky frogs, I thought about doing Battletoads or even the villain from it but this just came out. for #frankenstein I did #frankenweenie which used to make me sad as a child. #kelpie and for #blackdog I did #snoopdogg from that infamous video. That used to make me laugh so hard. I gave him a #kidsinc hoodie because that's what I want and I thought maybe my drawing would come to life if I signed my name like in Eerie Indiana. #drawing #drawingchallenge #popart #cartoons # #cartoon #comic #funnyart #halloween #spooky #creepy #drawingcollage #collage #drawingmural #mural

#EerieIndiana - The Dead Letter. Heartwarming ghost story starring a young Toby Maguire! It's pretty predictable but nevertheless enjoyable. It takes you back to simpler times which is no bad thing in these dark days. pic.twitter.com/n23cxC2lkr
