Remembering how in my earlier childhood there was more… spooky around. The X-Files; Unsolved Mysteries; Eerie, Indiana, that came out of somewhere. I remember casually reading several books compiling 2-page nominally true “weird stuff” events.

I took the Bermuda Triangle and spontaneous combustion as things I might one day have to deal with. (At least the idea of PSI pyrokinesis, as seen in Stephen King’s Firestarter was pretty passé by then).

The Bigfoot vogue reflected in Harry and the Hendersons, The Six-Million Dollar Man, and the blue monster truck had tapered since the 70s too, but thanks to Communion “alien abduction” was huge.

If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. This is the basic premise of Needful Things, one of the strangest Stephen King books I've ever read starring a really well-developed antagonist and a great balance of horror and fantasy. The story seems simple enough, a typical town sheriff pitted against Leland Gaunt, the mysterious and creepy owner of a shop that gives the citizens of Castle Rock anything they want for no price at all - but of course, everything has a price, and the people who don't ask why are left to regret it later. As a strange bout of madness grips the town and things start to get dangerous, the book takes a very sinister turn.

If you've ever watched the 1990's show Eerie Indiana's episode featuring a sinister investor who turns a small town shop into a hub of madness for desperate shoppers, or if you've ever watched Gremlins, you'll definitely like the kind of spooky store atmosphere Needful Things casts out. Stephen King crafts brilliant characters as usual, and though the Maine setting is a bit old considering it's chosen for almost all his books, the plot itself and the surprising events which unfold are definitely worth it.

18. REVENGE OF THE LAWN GNOMES (34)

A fun twist on the living toy trope, this middle entry in the series has a kind of Eerie, Indiana or Twilight Zone feeling, wherein the story isn’t overly concerned with horror as much as it is with surrealism and paranoia. A family and their overly-competitive neighbour get into a spat over a garden rivalry, and some nefarious lawn gnomes start to cause trouble because lawn gnomes are jerks. Stine, like Stephen King, excels at telling stories about parents not believing a child who’s witnessed some crazy shit.

Simon took a step back, surveying the display of cleaning products that stretched from the floor of the World o' Stuff all the way to the ceiling. Brightly-coloured warning labels blared dire messages alongside black and white diagrams of corroding flesh and melting eyes.

"Looking for something in particular?" asked Radford, appearing from within the dark places where stock ran out and the shelves lay bare.

Simon shot him a grateful smile.

"What do you use for hair spiders?" he asked.

Radford pondered.

"Diatomaceous earth will dehydrate most species," he said. "Hairy or otherwise."

"Hair spiders," said Simon. "You know, the stringy clumps of wet hair that clog up the plughole in the shower?"

"Oh," said Radford. "Those. They aren't spiders. They're drain vermin."

He pulled down a fluorescent orange bottle and examined it.

One of the biggest things that us horror fans remember from the 90s, especially those who grew up in the decade, was Eerie Indiana, Are You Afraid of the Dark, and Goosebumps. Personally, I wasn’t a big fan of Eerie Indiana and though I enjoyed Are You Afraid of the Dark… it didn’t hit home for me like with Goosebumps. Goosebumps debuted in 1995 and it adapted R.L. Stine’s books into a 30 minute long TV show. Fans of the books were thrilled and it was one of the things that we looked forward to every Saturday and Sunday mornings on Fox Kids. The show took off until its airtime was run out on 1998. However, the memory of a great TV show for kids will always stick with us and it’s one of those cornerstones in many of our lives.

I’ve talked about the show many times before and how it has a lot of adult situations despite its aim towards children. No, I’m not talking about those situations but rather situations like seeing a man scientist slit his wrists open to poor out green blood or seeing your naked Aunt and Uncle drape werewolf skin over their bodies. It’s a point that I love bringing up because Are You Afraid of the Dark was geared towards an older crowd of kids but Goosebumps was on right after a whole bunch of little kid shows like Space Goofs, Toonsylvania and Animaniacs. As a kid, some of the frightening imagery from the show has stuck with me. I’ll never forget how creeped out I was when I saw that horrid monster eating insects from The Girl Who Cried Monster, or that frightening tractor scene in The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight. Even to this day I can’t safely say that these episodes are kid friendly.

The one thing that I always loved about the Goosebumps series was the way they were filmed. Not necessarily the special effects or the editing but rather the lighting the cinematography of each episode. There were certain scenes that I remember that had weird filters and weird angles that enhanced each story. Close-ups were of people made them look more bloated and more surreal, swooping shots of the monsters eating bugs and sometimes the camera would get right into the way of the monster and made kids jump in fear. It was almost as if each episode was sort of experimental or directed by Terry Gilliam and David Lynch, they just has this campy dream-like presents about them.

If you want to know the magnitude of which Goosebumps had on me, my favorite color has been green since the mid 90s because in all of the Goosebumps episodes green was somehow incorporated. Whether the eerie light was green, or the bushes in the background were greener or the monster was green; green was the color of Goosebumps. Also, when I was 7-9 years old, I strategically place suits and clothes in a pile on the ground to make it look like whomever was wearing it just disappeared but left their clothes instead. I thought this was because I loved The Langoliers as a kid but it turned out that it was Goosebumps all along. I took the idea from Welcome to Dead House. The series had probably the biggest impact on me then any other TV show out there.

Indiana Films 🎬

As it turns out, there are quite a few films and TV shows set in Indiana. Here are just a few that deal with with the paranormal. 🛸👽🧛‍♀️🧟‍♂️ Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012) This film shows Lincoln at his boyhood home in Spencer County, Indiana.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) UFOs wreak havoc over Indiana airspace. In Stephen King's Sleepwalkers (1992), a mother and son pair of shapeshifting vampires relocates to a rural Indiana town to avoid suspicion.

Strange things happen in the aptly named Eerie, Indiana (1991-1993). In Hawkins, Indiana even Stranger Things occur when government laboratories unleash something from another dimension.

I was witness to a freakish time-space anomaly in Hull. The riders talked of a wastey, they used the name 'wasteland', they even had discussions about whether they thought it was ok to name it that. When I got to this alternate wasteland the vibe was freakish and preternatural. Thoughts of the twilight zone and early outer limits scenarios were whirling around in my head. The Hull-wastey flatbar was considerably lower than newcastle's counterpart but the surroundings, choice of obstacles and surface were largely identical. Their pole jam is welded and fitted much like ours, the manny pad is slightly better because it has coping down both sides, the quater is slightly less well made but is an exact replica in all its dimensions. I've rode carbon copy skateparks before but I could accept them because they were both made by the same company. This Hull spot is terrifying, more than a simple homage it's a carbon copy. Safe Nath, Tom Blyth and the boys who built this have never been to Newcastle either which makes it more likely that there's some fucked up psychic link going on akin to the Tommyknockers or Eerie Indiana or some si-fi shit.

Be afraid be very afraid.

The new Netflix show Stranger Things is going to remind you of a plethora of supernatural films from the 1980s — 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 !)

The first sitcom about adolescent paranoia and depression Eerie, Indiana is certainly novel way to end the weekend; up against 60 Minutes and Life Goes On, this new series is like Life Stands Still for 30 Minutes. Eerie‘s premise is simple and alluring: Marshall Teller (Omri Katz) is a smart, skeptical teenager whose family has recently moved from New Jersey to Eerie, Ind. Bored silly by Midwestern small-town life, Marshall is soon exhilarated and shocked to discover that Eerie is, as he says each week, ”the center of weirdness for the entire universe”.

How weird? Well, Eerie is a place where crows fly around carrying human eyeballs in their beaks, where the rotund fellow in the bathrobe stooping to pick up morning paper proves to be Elvis Presley. And that’s just in the show’s opening credits. The series’ recent debut is already a near legend for its introduction of Foreverware — human-size, Tupperware-like containers that hold warm bodies in suspended animation for years; a woman down the street from Marshall was selling the stuff door-to-door.

In a subsequent episode, a neighborhood youth whom Marshall had just met discovered that the canines were planning a violent revolt against their masters (The hounds chant, ”Bite the hand that feeds us!” and ”Today, Eerie tomorrow — Indianapolis”) Eerie Indiana has been invented by producers Karl Schaefer (TV 101) and Jose Rivera seemingly to give a wholly different meaning to the phrase ”new kid in strange town.”

Katz used to play a mostly silent, wide-eye son to Larry Hagman’s J.R. on Dallas (talk about your eerie experiences). With his lank brown hair falling over his big, sensitive eyes, Katz is an ideal Eerie Everyboy. His face is hand-some yet blank; each week. Katz’s Marshall tells us different story about some odd person or event in Eerie, and when he looks into the camera to emphasize his sincerity and wonderment, you’re not sure if you’re supposed to think this crazy stuff really happened to this kid, or if he?s just making it up as goes along.

At its best, Eerie combines two pop-culture phenomena: the substantial youth market for supernatural fiction (everything from Stephen King novels to the Nightmare on Elm Street movies) plus the let’s-take these-young-people-seriously attitude that made Beverly Hills, 90210 and Doogie Howser; M.D. touchstones for teen TV audience. Eerie proceeds on the assumption that Marshall’s adventures are so imaginative, so elaborately worked out, that they give adolescent daydreaming a good name, and thus afford much comfort to teenage goof-offs all over America.

So far, however, the show’s concepts have been funnier than its scripts. There are no conventional punch lines in thus laugh track-less sitcom, and most of the jokes rate little more than a smile. You watch Eerie for the small-screen spectacle of it all — to see the way, in the show’s first few weeks, feature-film directors like Joe Dante (Gremlins) and Tim Hunter (River’s Edge) oversaw episodes that summoned up an atmosphere of absurdist suburban dread. In a bit of overstatement more hilarious than anything in their show, Schaefer and Rivera have said that what they’re doing is the TV equivalent of the so-called ”magic realism” of Latin American writers such as Gabriel García Márquez (One hundred Years of Solitude). Sure guys. If Eerie is magic realism, I’m Edmund Wilson. Right now, Eerie is more interesting than entertaining.

And like a lot of interesting comedy, Eerie is, when you stop and think about it for a minute, rooted in some sobering notions. For example, if you believe the tenets of pop psychology and hundred Geraldo/Oprah/Phil talk shows, a boy like Marshall would be, in real life, a perfect candidate for teen suicide. He’s a morose loner with an overactive fantasy life, alienated from his family and most of his peers, whit very little parental supervision. ”I’m worried about Marshall,” said his mom in the second episode, but neither she nor her husband ever does anything about this poor mope of a kid.

Eerie, Indiana certainly gets one thinking, doesn’t it? I also wonder if anyone will ever mention how eerie it is that Marshall’s cute mother (Mary Margaret Humes) and cute sister (Julie Condra) look to be the same age, and whether Marshall’s Oedipal complex is extra-eerie as result. One of the ways this series seems bound to disappoint us is inevitable failure to explore its ideal topic: a male teen’s surreal fears and fantasies about sex. Can’t do that sort of thing before 8 on Sunday nights, can you? Too bad; it could have been a riot. B

Hello again, as THE UNSEEN HORROR reaches out from across your TV screens. Last time, we ventured across dimensions with Rod Serling and NIGHT GALLERY. Today however, we look at a very different place– a small town in the American heartland. Oh, does that not sound scary to you? Well don’t worry, because this is no ordinary town. It’s a place where Elvis is on the paper route, and Bigfoot goes through your trash. It’s a town of alien societies and dog uprisings. This is EERIE, INDIANA.

The Plot

Marshall Teller and his family have just moved to Eerie, Indiana from New Jersey. Marshall’s parents waned a quiet, safe upbringing for their children. However, Marshall quickly learns that Eerie is anything but quiet. In fact, the town is the center of weirdness for the entire planet. However, none of the residents seem to realize the oddities that surround their lives. Marshall and Simon Holmes, the only other person to note the Eerie weirdness, must collect evidence as they deal with the strangeness of the town.

The Cult of EERIE, INDIANA

EERIE, INDIANA began on NBC, with GREMLINS director Joe Dante serving as a creative consultant. The series lasted for nineteen episodes. Disney Channel then put it into syndication. However, when it aired on FOX in 1997, as part of its children’s lineup, something unexpected happened. The show gained a new audience that propelled it into cult status.

The fan reaction impressed Fox. They eventually green-lit a sequel series (EERIE, INDIANA: THE OTHER DIMENSION), but it only last one season. Nevertheless, the influence was felt by many. GRAVITY FALLS creator Alex Hirsch cites the show as an influence of his work. Critics also enjoyed the show; USA described it as ‘Stephen King meets the Simpsons’. Others praised how it mocked suburban tropes and took them to strange, absurd lengths as well. Much of that likely comes from Dante, who directed similar themes in films like THE BURBS. The full series is available on DVD and Fear.net aired the episodes daily.

EERIE, INDIANA explored many odd ideas in suburbia. This included tupperware that could halt the aging process, being stuck in the lost hour of Daylight Savings Time, and more standard horror fare like ghosts and werewolves. Since this was designed for younger audiences, these stories weren’t full of heart-pounding terror. However, they did have strong writing, a good sense of humor and the absurd, and solid performances from the cast. However, the creativity of the stories was the real selling point. The show fully understood the norms of suburbia, and how to take them to extreme lengths. Personally, I enjoy the idea of the ‘Elks Lodge’ secretly being a meeting ground for aliens.

Beyond the plots I’ve mentioned above, the show also showcased people literary becoming credit-spending zombies, a town ‘tornado day’ involving a sentient windstorm, and even breaking the fourth wall when Marshall emerges on the set of the TV show. Marshall himself was also crucial to the show, as he served as the narrator. His monologues were full of dry wit, but also filtered through the eyes of a child. It’s refreshing to hear his take on how credit works mixed with his expertise on the weirdness around him. The weirdness was another wonderfully done aspect. It gave Marshall a conspiracy to unravel. This deepened his relationship with the younger Simon, who could see things more simply then Marshall.

EERIE Residents

The casting was another bonus for the show. Marshall and Simon had enough charm and charisma to carry the show easily. Marshall’s family was also perfectly cast. The family was rarely a focal point, but their normalcy helped Marshall feel more developed and unique to the town. The show also featured a number of character actors stopping by, such as John Astin, Rene Auberjonois, Matt Frewer, Stephen Root, Jason Marsden, and Ray Walston, just to name a few. Other actors got their start here, like Nikki Cox and Tobey Maguire. Omri Katz (Marshall) even got a role in another Halloween classic, HOCUS POCUS. Ironically, his character in that film disbelieved in the supernatural.

Take A Trip to EERIE, INDIANA

EERIE, INDIANA isn’t truly terrifying in the same way NIGHT GALLERY was. However, it’s full of strong writing, an appreciation for horror and imagination, and is always fun to watch. This show functions as a gateway to the TWILIGHT ZONE and similar shows. So if you want to share your love of strangeness with your kids, or just want to have a good time in suburbia, head to EERIE, INDIANA.

And afterwards, come back next week, when we move into the realms of science fiction and atomic energy…

I always felt Haven was a bit of a po faced redo of Eureka, which I really enjoyed 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah, I think it was on Sky. It was like a weird mashup of Northern Exposure, Eerie Indiana and X-Files. New cop comes to town, finds it’s all full of weirdoes and freaks and there’s an underlying conspiracy. Nice long plot arc running through it, too

Elvis, Big Foot, Foreverware, The odd socks, when he finds out his life is a tv show...brilliant, innovative and way ahead of the curve. #bringbackeerieindiana #rebooteerieindiana

Plus with Stranger Things, the IT movie, Everything Sucks, Twin Peaks: the Return and the Papergirls comic... this is the perfect time for Eerie to make its comeback

It's still raining in Indiana?! So sorry Valerie. I aren't even ask about the shed! Xxxx

😂😂 it was supposed to move Friday, and the people moving it forgot about the appointment. Then they were going to see about Saturday and couldn’t squeeze it in. Now this guy swears it will be moved Monday but i don’t see how since it’s raining buckets today lol

I'd be tempted to dynamite it, after all the trouble it's given you. You really need to write an eerie Indiana play about a shed that just won't go away. It kind of reminds me of Stephen Kings Christine. I wish I lived nearer. Really want to help! Xxxx (p.s. still cold here) xxx
