Eerie, Indiana rewatch 2019: episode five, Scariest Home Videos

[froodle]

It's not Halloween, but lets get our George Bush masks on, make some popcorn and enjoy such classics as the Bloody Revenge of the Mummies Curse. If you're going to bite the remote control, make sure you're dressed warmly and have comfortable shoes on, because otherwise you may find yourself starring in... Scariest Home Videos.

I say this every year but their survival kit that Marshall thinks will cover the major monster groups literally JUST covers vampires

[froodle]

Clean underwear is a great joke tho

[froodle]

The Secret Spot is such a great set.

[froodle]

Also I love how Mars and his family are set up as this totally normal unit compared to Eeries weirdness, but they're the ones with a crow in a human skill and a cat skeleton in the attic

[froodle]

Gorbachev and Bush Sr masks remain my Halloween couple costume goal

[froodle]

Marshall little pained exhalation after "moooOOOOOM" is my entire teenage experience reflected back at me

[froodle]

LMAO I love how much Harley is not here for Marshalls bullshit

[froodle]

...right up to the point where he gets to eat a live animal and terrorise a teenager. Relatable

[froodle]

I really like how the Teller house is decorated.for Halloween. It actually feels like how a real family would decorate - battery operated pumpkin lights, a jackolantern planter and then a lot of cardboard skeletons.

[froodle]

Also I like the musical cues from the Bloody Revenge of the Mummies Curse

[froodle]

The lights flickering and Simon instantly going "Harley!" only lends support for my Littlest Antichrist headcanon

[froodle]

Whoa Boris why are you smashing Marilyns accent lamps like that?!

[froodle]

Moment of appreciation for that skull/ghost outfit with the white strands doing off the head. Not totally sure what or who it is, if anyone, but it's great

[froodle]

More of Syndi just shutting down supernatural bullshit please.

[froodle]

I love the shot of Syndi just silently pointing inside the house, the boys scampering in and her ominously swinging the door shut behind them. Beautifully done.

[froodle]

The teethmarks on the control and Simon's arm!

[froodle]

Another arm! Right before Marshall shouts "plan 39! Plan 39!", there's a hand on the banister behind Simon

[froodle]

*just before, sorry!

[froodle]

Marilyn and Edgar enjoying a quiet moment of privacy, only to be cockblocked by egg-wielding trickortreaters

[froodle]

Marilyn is also at least partly genre savvy - Halloween is NOT a good night to be stuck in the side of the road

[froodle]

Tony Jay going FULL HAM and I love it

[froodle]

That ratnest of wires coming off the cable box brings back some memories!

[froodle]

Mars and Simon exchanging a look when Boris starts whinging and without having to sauna word, Simon knowing to shove the remote in Von Orloffs moany gob is true friendship goals

[froodle]

The zeebo the clown trick or treater has one fake monster arm holding his candy bucket and it's so effective and creepy, all the more so for the other non costumed arm!

[froodle]

Marshall, you cannot take the camcorder and lock it away in the evidence locker. It's 1991, those things are pricey

[froodle]

I.want to know what the movie is with the dude in the skeleton costume creeping about. Maybe because it's presented without context, but it looks very unsettling

[froodle]

"Waiting for your mother to jumpstart me" YEAH SHE WAS

[deifire]

Never gets old!

[deifire]

You make a good and compelling point.

Potential episode for one of the later seasons: Marshall and Simon, as seen through the eyes of a random background kid.

[deifire]

I can't wait to see this when you do it!

[deifire]

I want an in-universe explanation for all of Eerie's phantom hand issues

[deifire]

I love Marilyn and Edgar!

[deifire]

Watch this and The Dead Letter and then the scene in the werewolf ep where Marshall yells "That's for vampires!" at Dash

[friendof_dorothy]

'The old bowling ball and chain routine'


have...have they done this before?

[friendof_dorothy]

the kid playing harley does a pretty good job of convincing me that balloon is a bowling ball tho so good on him

[froodle]

He's such a hypocrite!

[froodle]

Yes. YES. the "those guys are so weird" girl dressed like Elvira from this episode as the POV characters of a day in the limelight type episode where Simon and Mars are just background wacky hijinx

[froodle]

I will post pictures and it will be unsettling and awesome!

[froodle]

In the Digimon Tri movies, a giant hand made of pixelated glitching squares appears over Highton View Terrace. It turns out to belong to basically the digital world equivalent of a God, which from a certain pov could easily apply to all the people who help create the show...

[froodle]

They are so adorable!!

Re: Live tweet

[froodle]

:D:D:D

[froodle]

Also, to Harley, or to someone else? Or something else?

[froodle]

Imagine if they'd used a real bowling ball and the whole shot was just this kid actor who can't move...

[sonofgodzilla]

Sir Boris Von Orloff, my favourite actor. :p

[froodle]

I like that he's just.kind of an approximation of the classic old.timey.horror actor, rather than a straight up parody of one specific one
