Hot take time: 'Super 8' and 'Gravity Falls' did the recent "80s Amblin-esque kid adventures w/ spooky stuff" revival first, and set the stage for 'Stranger Things', which somehow seems - to my eyes at least - to get more hype, love, and credit.

(Not discounting ST btw.)

Gravity Falls seemed more like X-Files Jr than Amblin to me.
— Think of Batman Pooping Snakes (@MicahHirsh) November 9, 2020

I think it's both. Episodes like 'Summerween' and such give me a bit of an Amblin/80s fantasy movie feel.

If you want an idea of what Kyle's talking about, here's an actual show from that era which very much inspired Gravity Falls, "Eerie, Indiana": https://t.co/ySA7DBiTp4

Hirsch even joked that Gravity Falls was a shameless ripoff of Eerie.

to be fair, the main reason you haven't heard this term is because i made it up, and have mostly only used it in private conversations
i'm thinking of writing something about it someday so i can be a famous term-coiner though lol

Eerie, Indiana would have killed it on post-Stranger Things Netflix. But back in 1991, it only lasted nineteen episodes. I don't remember when I saw this show, but it was at a time when I felt as if it was made for me (it helped that Joe Dante directed several episodes).

I'm hesitant to revisit it, but Eerie, Indiana, pop: 16,661, will always hold a special place in my heart, the ultimate nostalgia kick.

Okay, I’ll admit it—I have a slight obsession with Indiana. I’m pretty sure it began when I was a child, sitting in my boring English home after school or in the holidays, watching Eerie, Indiana on TV. The obsession was nurtured by other TV and movie scenes over the years, as well as my own overactive imagination and, most recently, Stranger Things. Eerie, Indiana taught me, and Stranger Things reinforced, that Indiana is the place in the world where adventures happen. It’s full of forests and lakes, beauty and wilderness that’s always right on your doorstep, no matter what town you live in. It’s ripe for exploring, and filled with supernatural phenomena, just waiting to be discovered by the local children.

Sometimes scary and sometimes dreamlike, Indiana’s forests are always exciting. As a child, the idea of investigating a place like this was enticing, especially as the kids in Eerie seemed to do so without adult supervision. The same is true of the kids in Hawkins. Admittedly, these towns exist perpetually in the ‘80s and early ‘90s, which has something to do with the freedom the kids enjoy, but this only makes them even more alluring. By the time Stranger Things came out, I had already grown to associate Indiana with every scene of beauty set in an American forest, all the magical lakeside places that I saw or dreamed up, and every cabin in the woods, whether it was the kind that led to romance or doom.

I didn’t include Eerie in my list because at this point my memories of the show are too fuzzy. What lingers is mostly just a feeling about its setting and what was possible there. Hawkins, on the other hand, took all my vague dreams about Indiana and reaffirmed them. The setting is gorgeous. Hopper’s house on the lake in the first season. His cabin in the woods, where he hides out with Eleven. The fact that the kids are constantly riding their bikes through forests to get anywhere in the town. The train tracks that Dustin and Steve walk down, bonding over hair products and laying out meat for the Demodog.

The adventures are first class. Gateways to the Upside Down, terrifying monsters, a superpowered girl who escapes from a secret government lab—Hawkins has it all. On top of all that, Hawkins actually has some pretty fun places to hang out. There’s the arcade, the outdoor pool, and the fancy new mall. Okay, the mall may be on top of a secret Russian military base, but I still want to go get a USS Butterscotch from Scoops Ahoy.

I'm cautious of #StrangerThings getting another season. Historically speaking "Small quaint town with a dark secret" shows are very finite. Just ask the makers of #EerieIndiana and #TwinPeaks.

So youve made Resident Evil into "Eerie Indiana" mixed with "IT"? Odd choice, since its an alternative universe take Ill be just glad for some genuine horror in a series, something like Channel Zeros first few episodes. Less Stranger things.

Eerie, Indiana

Watch it on: Amazon Prime Video

When I think about Stranger Things, I think about 3 points: Sci- fi, the ’80 s, as well as youngsters. All the various other programs on this listing might mark off a couple of of those, however nothing else checks all 3 like Eerie, Indiana (OK, unquestionably Eerie, Indiana appeared as well as happened in the very early ’90 s, however close sufficient.) The NBC collection just lasted one period, however it’s 19 episodes adhering to a young teenager as well as his good friend examining quirks as well as peculiarities, like haunted collections, enchanting Atm machines, as well as strange UFOs, in his village inIndiana The tone is extra enjoyable as well as wayward than Stranger Things (though there is a reasonable share of homicidal bad guys), however extra significantly, they both share that lovely feeling of marvel as well as exhilaration that can just be caught with the eyes of youngsters. And they’re both embeded in the HoosierState –Tim Surette

Here’s some fun clips from my interview about Eerie Indiana. You’ll see a lot of comparisons to Stanger Things. Check it out!

Starring Omri Katz of Hocus Pocus fame, this proto-Stranger Things mystery sci-fi series followed the exploits of a couple of outcast teens attempting to uncover the many surreal mysteries in the titular small town.

Unlike the Netflix megahit however, this genre-bending teen series featured everything but the kitchen sink in its strange mythos, from a tornado hunter to Bigfoot to Elvis Presley, still alive and hidden in the eponymous burg. Produced by Gremlins creator Joe Dante, this strange show was an odd mashup of Goosebumps and The X-Files which predated both shows and it more than deserves a re-watch for its influential, surreal tone.

froodle

Stranger Things reminded me a lot of "Eerie, Indiana." It's a kid's show from the early '90s and it was only on for one season, but it has a bit of a cult following. It's worth looking into, IMO. You can find episodes on YouTube, I think.
