ScreenRant on Eerie Indiana

[froodle]

Eerie, Indiana comes off as equal parts a spooky Goosebumps series spinoff and something straight out of a David Lynch film. This NBC childrens show from the early '90s is actually neither, but it is certainly strange enough to deserve a spot on this list.

In Eerie, Indiana, a teen named Marshall moves with his family to the small town of Eerie. Every citizen of the town has something off about them, sans Marshall's new friend Simon. The two face strange and unsettling events that include situations derived from real urban legends and doppelgängers. The show seemed just a little too creepy for its time, especially as a kid's show. What normal childrens series opens with “To whom it may concern: If you’re reading this document, it means I’m either dead or disappeared under mysterious circumstances”?

While Eerie, Indiana may not be terrifyingly bizarre enough to scare the crap out of an adult, watching the series as a child in the '90s was borderline traumatizing.
