The clocks in the UK go back tonight. Don’t get lost. • #EerieIndiana #TheLostHour

The people who lived their lives in one long linear stretch, going from birth to death and hitting some or most or even all of the usual miletones along the way referred to it as "borrowed time". In the Milkman's view, that was a misnomer of such scale that it bordered on fraudulent.

This was stolen time. It was stolen from drive-in theatre owners watching their margins dwindle to nothing, from confused cows giving out confused milk, and from everyone who spent November to March just a little out of sync with their surroundings.

He glared up at the clocktower.

I never turn my clock back by going counter-clockwise because of that one episode of Eerie, Indiana.

What if we all just refused to turn the clocks back? What then, huh?

There was an episode of Eerie Indiana about this. You don't want to end up in *the lost hour*.

Did you ever see the Eerie Indiana episode where the kid refused to change his watch?

The clocks in the UK go back tonight. Don’t get lost. • #EerieIndiana #TheLostHour

In this clip from our Patreon-exclusive podcast all about Eerie, Indiana, we're introduced to a little something called Brian Standard Time.

If you're in the US, your clocks are about to go back an hour. Keep an eye on your milk cartons and watch out for sanitation engineers in mirrored shades!

Lucky we got this film in before next Saturday... watching it the same night as the clocks go back would be a serious headfuck #covideoparty

Was there an episode of Eerie Indiana where the kid doesn't set his watch properly when the time changes and he gets stuck in that hour?

Tonight the federal government will force us to move the clock forward one hour.

There is no legitimate reason to keep doing this.

Does anyone else remember that episode of Eerie Indiana where the kids tries to ignore the time change and sleep an extra hour but that sends him to another dimension so he has to talk to people through milk cartons in order to get back home? #SpringForward #DaylightSavingTime

Anybody else remember that episode of Eerie Indiana where the main character forgets to change his clocks for daylight savings, which causes him to be stuck a temporal loop for awhile where he’s the only person in the world? I think about it every single time.

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…

Oh wow I watch this show on and off when I need to relive my childhood. I loved the episode where he was trapped in like a different time zone and the garbage men where chasing him

Siempre que hay que cambiar la hora, me acuerdo de ese capitulo de Eerie Indiana donde el loco no lo hace y termina en un universo de "la hora perdida" y ahí lo seguían como unos hueones que eliminaban todo lo que estuviera fuera de tiempo

64. Do you know which US states don't use Daylight Savings Time?
Arizona and Hawaii, though Indiana used to not. The things you learn from Eerie Indiana and Neopets.

1. Eerie, Indiana: I was the kind of kid who read every book in the RL Stein catalog. I loved Goosebumps, I loved his more "adult" novels, and I especially loved anything from the Fear Street Series. I love horror and stories that are just creepy. Eerie had all of those elements. Even though it was a kids show, there was definitely a very, very dark/realistic elements to their stories. Here are my top five Eerie, Indiana episodes. Thanks youtube!

- The Dead Letter: Starring future Spiderman, Tobey Macguire, was particularly heartbreaking. Tobey's a ghost and all he wants is to deliver a letter to his true love.
- Foreverware: Would you really like to live forever in a Tupperware box? Yeah, these people did.
- Who's Who: Girl who lives in an abusive family can make her drawings come to life! Oh man. I wanted this one to be real. Can you imagine altering your reality just by signing your name at the bottom of a sketch?
- Heart On A Chain: A kid dies, he's an organ donor, and gives his heart to a girl who needs it. The girl is Marshall's first real crush and the boy who died also had a crush on her! Bad times ensue.
The Lost Hour: What happens when you ignore DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME?? THIS happens. Watch it.

Watching Eerie, Indiana (Joe Dante’s short-lived but fun spoopy tv show from the 90s) on Prime and about to fly into a Hoosier nerd rage because the protagonist is staying up for daylight savings time.

Oh thank goodness, the dad shows up to remind his son (and the tv audience) that Indiana doesn’t observe daylight savings time.
— maniraptor (@maniraptor) July 24, 2019

“It’s the whole state of Indiana.” The dad pauses. “The farmers say the cows would be confused.” (Ep 10)

I can never move back to Indiana unless is becomes a democratic socialist intersectionalist paradise and also goes back to not switching its clocks.

Welcome to Throwback Friday, the weekly article that looks back at classic games and movies. This week we look at the classic TV series, Eerie, Indiana.

( Read more... )

One of the greatest Horror/Mystery/Fantasy series ever.

Too bad it ran for such a short period of time.

This is very Eerie as suggested by the title, I saw it several years back, it's about a town in Indiana county (which you can kill me but I don't know where it is) where a lot of very very strange things happen every week to two young kids and they collect things about it in a closet in Marshell's attic, he carries the key for the closet on him and it plays an important part in some episodes, one of the kids, I'm proud to say, is jewish and that is amplified in a nice episode when the kids shift to the backstage.

I also remember an episode about the time when Marshell sets his watch backwards to winter time and he shifts to another dimension along with a girl who disappeared the same way a year back, there are some guys who are chasing them and someone helps them, I won't tell you what happens and it's a knockout ending.

There are a lot of cool episodes and I wish they would make more.

Well, go bug your local supplier to get the show, I'm off to check the next incarnation.

Seriously. Can we get an Eerie, Indiana updated series? So great.
