Bustle on Indiana as a weirdness magnet
Dec. 20th, 2019 11:28 amfroodleThe new Netflix show Stranger Things is going to remind you of a plethora of supernatural films from the 1980s โ and the series is perfectly fine with that. Starring Winona Ryder as Joyce, Stranger Things takes place in the town of Hawkins, Indiana (a fictional city) in 1983. The setting is an important part of the story as Joyce's son Will goes missing after coming across a mysterious beast outside of the Hawkins National Laboratory, but also because half of the fun of Stranger Things is it's throwback style, paying homage to the masters like Steven Spielberg and Stephen King.

Indiana is apparently all about the paranormal if you consider Stranger Things, Close Encounters, and the almost forgotten, but totally excellent '90s kids TV show Eerie, Indiana. The small town of Eerie isn't actually real, just like Hawkins, and it hosts plenty of urban legends and abnormal stuff. (Bonus trivia: Eerie, Indiana starred Omri Katz from Hocus Pocus !)

Dec. 5th, 2019 01:42 pmfroodlebinge watching the 1st(& only i think) season of the early 90s tv series 'Eerie Indiana'. strange TV for the time & the storytelling & strangeness still stand up. the hairstyles & clothing, not so much. its kind of a much more comedic Stranger Things type thing.
— Arise (@rise804) December 5, 2019
or a live action Gravity Falls. no question the people involved in gravity falls had been fans of Eerie Indiana. Eerie was coming in the door that original Twin Peaks opened for weirdness on non-cable TV.

froodleIn an age where digital entertainment reigns supreme, itโs quite surprising how much traction tabletop role-playing games are gaining. While thereโs always something new to amuse ourselves to death with on our smartphones, consoles and PCs, thereโs been a surge of interest in games that involve paper, pencils, dice, cards, and people.
For the most part, that interest tends towards Dungeons & Dragons, the worldโs oldest, most successful and popular role-playing game and driven by the success of actual play shows like Critical Role and Acquisitions, Incorporated. But the truth is that thereโs more to tabletop role-playing than serpents that breath fire and subterranean labyrinths.
Break out a notebook and get thee to a gaming store for Iโm about to share great tabletop role-playing games featuring diverse settings, interesting character options and a myriad of compelling game mechanics. If youโve always wanted to sit down and play make-believe with the rest of your friends, here are eight other possibilities you might not have considered.

Tales from The Loop by Nils Hintze and Free League Publishing
If you like: Stranger Things, Eerie, Indiana, The X-Files
Inspired by the art of Simon Stalenhag, Tales from the Loop is set in an alternate 1980s where the suburbs are the new home for mysterious research projects. Players are the small-town kids watching their neighborhood change in the face of super science.
Straight out of the book, Tales from the Loop takes place in either the Mรคlaren Islands of Sweden or in the desert sprawl of Boulder City, Nevada, though options exist to hack its premise into your hometown. Using easy to understand rules, youโll go on adventures discovering what the adults cannot or will not see in their own town.

LavenderHillBilly on Stranger Things
Oct. 5th, 2019 01:17 pmfroodleAnd so with It Chapter Two now well and truly out (and I use the term advisedly) one's thoughts finally turn properly to Stranger Things's third season...
Other people have been more than happy with the latest Stranger Things, and some even reckon it's got back on track after Season 2's slightly tired rehash of Season 1 (and indeed its disastrous 'Lost Sister' episode). Alas, I rather feel that with this new one the Duffer bros slightly took their eye off the ball. I mean it was charming and enjoyable and all, but it still managed to get itself bogged down and distracted.
( Read more... )
So what are my final hopes for the last two seasons (because I'm not predicting any more than five in all)? My big one, at least in terms of tone, is that the show will get back on form with the subtlety and creepiness of its early promise and will perhaps even end on a downbeat 1990s vibe. As it happens, I've never really thought of Stranger Things as a 1980s-type show, despite its setting and source materials. For me it feels much more like Twin Peaks or The X-Files (without UFOs) or Eerie, Indiana or American Gothic or perhaps even Quantum Leap (without any time travel - so far!). Originally it was meant to be an anthology show, like The Outer Limits, which had a reboot in the 1990s (albeit in Canada, oddly enough!). Like The X-Files, at any rate, it would have had a whole multiplicity of unconnected spooky stories to tell rather than just one. One reason for this may be that it was in the 1990s that television started telling the sorts of stories that had previously always appeared first at the cinema. After the 1980s' golden age of genre movies, the following decade was a comparatively dry period for sci-fi, fantasy and horror moviesโ โ โ , so the small screen took up the slack and really came into its own.
If Will Byers and his friends end up leaving their childhoods behind as they find strange lights in the sky, it would feel strangely fitting.
