It's Friday, Eerie fans, and it's a great time to look back on all the sweet fanworks you've created over the years. Why not revisit some sweet artwork, admire someone's crafting efforts or leave an appreciative comment on an uploaded video?

This 90s classic

“A total of nineteen episodes were produced. The final episode aired for the first time in 1993, when the series was syndicated on The Disney Channel. The show was rerun on The Disney Channel from October 7, 1993[1] to late March 1996.[2][3] In 1997, the show generated a new fan base, when Fox's children's programming block Fox Kids aired the series on Saturday mornings from January to September, gaining something of a cult following despite its short run. The renewed popularity of the series encouraged Fox to produce a spin-off Eerie, Indiana: The Other Dimension, lasting only one season in 1998.”

When people go missing in the sleepy town of Smith’s Hollow, the only clue to their fate comes when a teenager starts having terrifying visions, in a chilling horror novel from national bestselling author Christina Henry.

When the bodies of two girls are found torn apart in the town of Smiths Hollow, Lauren is surprised, but she also expects that the police won’t find the killer. After all, the year before her father’s body was found with his heart missing, and since then everyone has moved on. Even her best friend, Miranda, has become more interested in boys than in spending time at the old ghost tree, the way they used to when they were kids.

So when Lauren has a vision of a monster dragging the remains of the girls through the woods, she knows she can’t just do nothing. Not like the rest of her town. But as she draws closer to answers, she realizes that the foundation of her seemingly normal town might be rotten at the center. And that if nobody else stands for the missing, she will.

My Thoughts: Have you ever seen that episode of Eerie, Indiana where Marshall’s name is drawn to be the town’s Harvest King (due to the meddling of the mysterious Dash X, who should have been the one drawn)? This book kind of reminds me of that (but with less John Astin, corn, and werewolves that mysteriously only need to feed once every 13 years). It’s even set in the 80s (yes, I know that Eerie was in the early 90s, but it’s closer to that than it is to modern day, so…ha!)

You all might know by now that I have a very real weakness for folk horror – and The Ghost Tree presents a very solid folk horror story that involves revenge curses, monsters, and human sacrifice. So- all the good stuff.

Okay, I’ll admit it—I have a slight obsession with Indiana. I’m pretty sure it began when I was a child, sitting in my boring English home after school or in the holidays, watching Eerie, Indiana on TV. The obsession was nurtured by other TV and movie scenes over the years, as well as my own overactive imagination and, most recently, Stranger Things. Eerie, Indiana taught me, and Stranger Things reinforced, that Indiana is the place in the world where adventures happen. It’s full of forests and lakes, beauty and wilderness that’s always right on your doorstep, no matter what town you live in. It’s ripe for exploring, and filled with supernatural phenomena, just waiting to be discovered by the local children.

Sometimes scary and sometimes dreamlike, Indiana’s forests are always exciting. As a child, the idea of investigating a place like this was enticing, especially as the kids in Eerie seemed to do so without adult supervision. The same is true of the kids in Hawkins. Admittedly, these towns exist perpetually in the ‘80s and early ‘90s, which has something to do with the freedom the kids enjoy, but this only makes them even more alluring. By the time Stranger Things came out, I had already grown to associate Indiana with every scene of beauty set in an American forest, all the magical lakeside places that I saw or dreamed up, and every cabin in the woods, whether it was the kind that led to romance or doom.

I didn’t include Eerie in my list because at this point my memories of the show are too fuzzy. What lingers is mostly just a feeling about its setting and what was possible there. Hawkins, on the other hand, took all my vague dreams about Indiana and reaffirmed them. The setting is gorgeous. Hopper’s house on the lake in the first season. His cabin in the woods, where he hides out with Eleven. The fact that the kids are constantly riding their bikes through forests to get anywhere in the town. The train tracks that Dustin and Steve walk down, bonding over hair products and laying out meat for the Demodog.

The adventures are first class. Gateways to the Upside Down, terrifying monsters, a superpowered girl who escapes from a secret government lab—Hawkins has it all. On top of all that, Hawkins actually has some pretty fun places to hang out. There’s the arcade, the outdoor pool, and the fancy new mall. Okay, the mall may be on top of a secret Russian military base, but I still want to go get a USS Butterscotch from Scoops Ahoy.
