Eerie Indiana WIP Wednesday

[froodle]

What have you been working on this week, Eerie fans? Now's the time to spread the word about any fannish treats you've got cooking: a line of dialogue from an upcoming fic, linework for your latest art piece, the yarn colours for a new toy. Let us know in the comments!

Eerie, Indiana Food Fest

[froodle]

Eerie has it’s fair share of great places to eat. There’s the Eerie Baitshop and Sushi Bar, the Eerie Bus Terminal and Supper Club, Everything Corn, Grandma’s Kitchen, the Dragon of the Black Pool Restaurant and, of course, the ice-cream counter at the World o’ Stuff.

If you’re more of a homebody, maybe you prefer twenty-year-old bologna sandwiches or buckwheat pancakes made from a ForeverWare recipe. Perhaps a celebrity couple called off their wedding a few days before your birthday and you bought their cake on sale, or you just like adding the prefix “Swedish” to everything you cook, Marilyn Teller-style.

Maybe you really enjoy toast made in a haunted toaster, or maybe you hate it whether or not it comes with bank-robbing ghosts. You could be a member of a corn-worshipping cult whose banquets consist of Cornade (or Cornade Lite), huge bowls of fresh-made popcorn and, of course, hot buttered corn on the cob.

Is your favourite snack a jumbo-sized bag of chocolate milk balls (“the balls that go moo!”) or just a carton of the Eerie Dairy’s finest scavenged from the site of another fatal milk-truck accident? Do you feast on a giant plate of ribs the night before a human sacrifice or serve up a portion of space noodles and moon sauce while you search for UFOs?

Whatever your preferences, it’s the tenth of the month, and that means it’s time for our Foods of Eerie Fest. Are you enjoying a refreshing Black Cow after a long day investigating haunted structures, or baking cupcakes decorated with ravens and eyeballs? Share your recipes, post your pics, get out those Eerie-themed travel mugs and head off for a picnic in some ill-advised supernatural hotspot. Eat something spookily delicious and tell us all about it!

stevestebbing on Eerie Indiana and Victor and Valentino

[froodle]

Victor And Valentino: Folk Art Foes: Season 1 Volume 1 – More Cartoon Network goodies land on the shelves this week with this brand new series from creator Diego Molano who has taken his adventurous little short and turned it into a full-fledged series for his first full-on series after writing for The Powerpuff Girls. The series follows two brothers, very opposite from each other, who spend a summer with their grandma in Monte Macabre, a small and mysterious town, where the myths and legends of Latin American folklore come to life. So, think Eerie, Indiana, Latin edition but animated and that sounds pretty fantastic to me. The kids will really dig this show has it’s flashy, fast-paced and seems to be exactly in line with all the hit shows from the Nickelodeon side of Cartoon Network that has been going strong since Dexter’s Laboratory.

I don't remember a lot about this. I saw it on TV in the late 90s/early 2000s. I remember there were two boys and one of them had those huge braces outside his mouth and round his jaw. At the end I remember these talking dogs all crowding round him shouting 'metal mouth!' over and over, then in the next scene the other boy was outside and a dog ran up and set his friends braces on the ground and ran off.

It sounds really silly and I might be misremembering it.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Anoka: A Collection of Indigenous Horror

[froodle]

Welcome to Anoka, Minnesota, a small city just outside of the Twin Cities dubbed “The Halloween Capital of the World” since 1937. Here before you lie several tales involving bone collectors, pagan witches, werewolves, skeletal bison, and cloned children. It is up to you to decipher between fact and fiction as the author has woven historical facts into his narratives. With his debut horror collection, Cheyenne & Arapaho author Shane Hawk explores themes of family, grief, loneliness, and identity through the lens of indigenous life.

magical talking hat on Eerie Indiana

MagicalTalkingHat says: I think by the time I became aware of Eerie, Indiana, I was way more into actual horror stuff, and was just at the age where I would’ve thought it was “kid stuff.” I should revisit it now.

Azuretalon says: Not only was I the right age for the show, 8-9; but I was also still a dumb kid so I probably had my mind blown by the homages to more groundbreaking stuff. To me it was pure, concentrated weird and I had no idea it was derivative.

5 Things You Might Not Know About EERIE, INDIANA

[froodle]

5. Tobey Maguire Played a Ghost

Before Tobey Maguire learned the Cider House Rules (which were about abortion or something) or re-invigorated then later ruined Spider-Man, he starred in an episode of Eerie, Indiana. In “The Dead Letter” Maguire plays an old-timey clothes-wearing ghost who enlists Marshall’s help in delivering a love letter to his former sweetheart. In a scene that is both touching and creepy, the young man is reunited with his love who is now a haggard old woman– it’s like a scene from Harold and Maude, or Madonna’s life.

4. The Show’s Co-Creator Also Wrote The Motorcycle Diaries

After Eerie, Indiana was cancelled, Jose Rivera (who co-created the show with Karl Schaefer) wrote the screenplay for the acclaimed film The Motorcycle Diaries. While the exploits of the famous Argentine revolutionary and noted T-Shirt logo model Che Guevara might seem like quite a departure from depicting children battling werewolves and zombies, it might interest you to know that Rivera began his career as a celebrated playwright. He also wrote for Family Matters, but you probably find that less impressive.

3. They Rebooted the Show Six Years Later

With the original show finding a new audience through syndication and a series of novelizations, a reboot of the original concept (that could also be considered a spin-off because it’s technically another dimension) was produced. In Eerie, Indiana: The Other Dimension, the original protagonists Marshall and Simon were replaced by their Bizzaro-world equivalents Mitchell and Stanley, played, of course, by entirely different actors. Sadly even the alternate universe iteration of the show lasted only one season.

2. Bob Balaban Directed Several Episodes

While famed director Joe Dante acted as a consultant for the show, and directed many episodes himself, another name you might recognize contributed heavily to Eerie, Indiana. Bob Balaban, who people know mainly for his acting roles in Christopher Guest’s films, Seinfeld, and Gosford Park, just to name a few. But Balaban is also an accomplished director, having helmed feature films such as the insane and underrated Parents, as well as My Boyfriend’s Back, the zombie romantic comedy that came out way, way before that sort of thing became trendy. He has also leant his cinematic chops to a myriad of TV programs including Oz and Tales From the Darkside. He directed three of the nineteen episodes of Eerie, Indiana.

1. It Had the Craziest Final Episode of All Time

Most TV shows try to up their game for the final episode, whether it’s Bob Newhart waking up in bed with his former TV wife, or Breaking Bad doing a bunch of things we’re not allowed to freely talk about on the internet yet. Even shows like The Prisoner or Lost that steered their finales firmly into the surreal didn’t have the chutzpah to do what Eerie, Indiana did. In a sly nod to The Twilight Zone episode “A World of Difference” Marshall discovers a script for a show called “Eerie, Indiana” and suddenly finds himself on the set of a TV show where his entire reality is revealled to be a fiction. His parents and friends are all actors and refer to him as “Omri Katz” (the name of the actor who plays Marshall). It’s probably the most existentially disturbing finale of any TV show, let alone a one intended for kids.

I haven't seen this in years and my memory is fuzzy, but I recall enjoying it quite a bit.

Eerie Indiana prompts from Merry Melody:

Eerie Indiana, Dash-X/Marshall, obvious potential
Todd McNulty/Simon Holmes, bowling
Mars/Dash X, Dante: Lyle, he's all yours...full loads, plenty of splatter." Dante: "Pull up your shirt. Come on, help the man out, will you?" Dash's "Lyle, Lyle...those won’t be necessary. We’re doing this take au naturale". Okay, AU where the set Omri/Mars wakes up on is a porno.

I need to go back and watch Eerie, Indiana so I can read some of the great works that are being made for it. Oh hell, who needs canon?? I'll just read it anyway. ^_^
