Looper on Eerie Indiana

[froodle]

Eerie, Indiana arrived at the onset of the teen supernatural craze that took hold in the mid-to-late '90s, but unlike more popular successors like 1995's Goosebumps or 1997's Buffy the Vampire Slayer, it was relegated to a one-season run, between 1991 and 1992. The show centered on Marshall Teller, who moves with his family to Eerie, Indiana, population 16,661, and quickly discovers that things are not as idyllic as they appear.

Along with his best friend Simon, Marshall takes stock of all the weirdness he runs into, preserving evidence in a locker that only he holds the key to.

The show may have been marketed to kids, but its appeal stretched much further. The show's stories vacillated between quirky and genuinely dark, often finding space between. Gremlins' Joe Dante directed several of the series' best episodes, including the premiere, and his signature comedic style set the tone for the entire season. Fox made an attempt to recreate the series in 1998 with Eerie, Indiana: The Other Dimension, but it, like most copies, couldn't recapture the magic of the original.
