A Trip Back to Eerie, Indiana - Associated Content:

"In the decades television has been broadcasting in the United States, there have always been examples of programs ahead of their time, appreciated only when it was too late. For the generation that grew up in the 1990s, one of those shows was Eerie, Indiana, a children's horror series that lasted just one television season. Its importance in children's entertainment should not be questioned; it started a trend that would affect millions of kids' lives in the '90s.

The show was the brainchild of José Rivera and Karl Schaefer. The story centered on twelve-year-old Marshall Teller, played by Omri Katz. Marshall and his family have moved to little old Eerie (population 16,661) to live the American suburban dream. Trouble is, strange things are abound in Eerie. Elvis lives down the street. A corn cult is alive with strange activities. Canine conspiracy. Sacrifices to werewolves. Marshall and his buddy Simon (Justin Shenkarow) are determined to prove that Eerie is the center of weirdness for the whole universe. "
