Соседи Теллеров рекламируют свои чудесные вакуумные контейнеры, которые навечно сохраняют положенную в них еду, не давая ей стареть. Однако соседка предупреждает об осторожности: если неплотно закрыть крышку, то еде в контейнере быстро вернется тот возраст, который она бы имела, если бы не лежала в чудодейственном контейнере. Позже Маршалл узнает, что не только не портится еда соседей, но и сами соседи не стареют. Они спят в больших вакуумных контейнерах с 1964 года. Дети-соседи (близнецы) 30 лет остаются вечными семиклассниками, а их мать уже 30 лет как не стареет. Близнецы просят у Маршалла помощи — открыть их контейнеры во время их действия, чтобы им вернулся их настоящий возраст. На следующий день мать Маршалла, желая отменить свой заказ на контейнеры, приходит к соседям и видит вместо семиклассников и их матери, тридцатилетних близнецов и старушку.

This show HAD to have its own post. One of the best tv shows to come out of the 90s and I was hooked on it! In the UK, this used to come on Channel 4 -back in the day when we had 4 channels, no cable tv and times were quite literally simple . Fast forward to present day and I have the DVD and so I can get an Eerie fix when needed. GOOD TIMES GUARANTEED 😁🤟🏼

Eerie Indiana (population 16,661) followed the adventures of Marshall Teller and his side kick/best friend Simon Holmes, as they tried to explain all the weird stuff that was happening in the town of Eerie. They literally had the wildest adventures and I wish the ‘World O Stuff’ was a real. I mean - who wouldn’t want to visit that place?! Sign me up! The show was dubbed as kind of X Files for kids and the premise worked. Unfortunately for fans we were only blessed with one season and 19 episodes but each one was a total gem. I have included pics of some of my favourite episodes and hope you enjoy this throwback. Pure TV gold 🤩

Episode 1- 🎀Forever Ware🎀 - this is one of my all time favourite episodes. Who remembers the twins and their creepy mom? I actually felt sorry for twins.

Episode 2- 🐶The Retainer🐶- Marshall and Simon uncover a plot where pooches are going to take over the world.But wait- how is this plot foiled? By a local kid who happens to have the worst set of braces and can hear everything the dogs are planning via his retainer headset!

Episode 3- 💛The ATM with a Heart of Gold🤑- Simon is feeling lonely so along comes a ATM that is dishing out free money and wants to be his BEST FRIEND

Episode 6- 🤓Just Say No Fun ❌- the new creepy school nurse is hell bent on eradicating any types of fun. The stuff of nightmares for any kid.

Cinematographer John Hora, who collaborated with director Joe Dante on films including The Howling, Gremlins, Explorers and Matinee, has died. He was 80.

Hora died unexpectedly Feb. 9 of heart failure, the American Society of Cinematographers reported.

A fan of the large-format films of the 1950s, Hora also served as DP on the Imax films The Journey Inside (1994) and Cirque du Soleil: Journey of Man (2000), and for 2012 releases, he photographed the documentary The Last Days of Cinerama and the short In the Picture, the first project created with the ultra-wide 35mm Cinerama format since 1962.

Hora and Dante teamed up for the first time on The Howling (1981), with the cinematographer "relying on a dramatic lighting approach featuring rich hues, deep shadows and dutched angles to help sell both the suspense and horrific effects courtesy of artist Rob Bottin," as writer David E. Williams describes it.

Hora then shot for Dante the "It's a Good Life" segment of the anthology feature Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983), followed by Gremlins (1984), Explorers (1985), The 'Burbs (1989), Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990) and Matinee (1993) and the pilot episode for the 1991-92 NBC series Eerie, Indiana.

"[We] have an interesting, comfortable relationship," he told American Cinematographer magazine. "Perhaps it's because Joe has a sardonic sense of humor and I have what has been described as an over-developed sense of irony."

Hora also appeared in front of the camera for Dante in Innerspace (1987) — as the scientist Ozzie Wexler — and Burying the Ex (2014).

"RIP John Hora," Dante wrote on Twitter. "Not only one of the most talented and amusing Directors of Photography I ever worked with, but a truly unique and eccentric character who knew more about lenses than I know about my own life. A real loss in a world of losses."

John Charles Hora was born in Pasadena on Feb. 16, 1940. His father was an amateur still photographer who attended the Art Center School of Design, and Hora "grew up in a house of cameras, film, darkrooms, tintypes, old glass plates, photography books and magazines, and lots of music, too," he said in 2007.

After graduating from film school at USC, where he roomed with future Star Wars producer Gary Kurtz, Hora worked for the commercial-production company John Urie and Associates on such projects as the martial arts documentary New Gladiators (1973), financed by Elvis Presley.

Hora then made his feature debut on Maurie (1973), the basketball drama that starred Bernie Casey as Maurice Stokes and Bo Svenson as Jack Twyman.

A story in the November 1984 edition of AC magazine described the look of Gremlins as ranging "from the realism of the daylit snow-strewn Kingston Falls town square to the comic-book splash-panel type lighting of a boiling YMCA pool at midnight."

"There is a danger when you use bizarre angles and strong colors in a film," Hora said, "and that is you might come out looking too much like the old Batman television show. Still, my basic nature is to have fun with this sort of approach, and the nature of this story was such that it did not demand a serious approach. Fundamentally, on this film, Joe and I just enjoyed ourselves."

Hora's résumé also included Liar's Moon (1981), The Jogger (1988), a segment in Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (1988), Loverboy (1989), Honey, I Blew Up the Kid (1992) and God Said, 'Ha!' (1998). He once noted he turned down an offer to shoot the original Terminator.

Hora taught at the Los Angeles Film School, served for many years on the ASC board of governors and collected rare classical records and cars (he owned a 1963 Studebaker Avanti).

Survivors include his brother, Steve, niece Erika, nephew Greg and former wife Mary.
