Eerie Indiana (PG)

Review
Still to be found lurking around the netherworld of Channel 4’s esoteric schedules, this underrated and inventive creep-show predates Lost by marooning its characters in a place where inexplicable things happen, which may or may not (according to its rabid cult fans) have something do with hell (the town’s population contains the number 666) or doctored milk. Starring former Dallas moppet Omri Katz (he was John Ross Ewing III) as new boy in town Marshall Teller, each episode unravels further layers of weird, all of which Teller catalogues and stores in a locker to which only he has the key.

The series lasted for only 19 episodes — all of which are included here — the highlights being ‘The Lost Hour’ and ‘Reality Takes A Holiday’. Look out too for a young Tobey Maguire as a ghostly presence in ‘The Dead Letter’.

RE: One of those things...

this programme had been on my mind for years, as it just seemed to have disappeared! i was always wandering when it would make it to dvd and im so glad it finally has! its a programme that has more fresh ideas in it and more creepy'ness than many shows since! and it was for kids! its a shame that such an original show gets cancelled, especially when so little episodes were made( i always thought there were more but turns out not!lol)   quality programme! fresh ideas! and dark humour! ... Read More

One of those things...

This is one of those shows that seem to have had many more episodes than it actually did. Just think Fawlty Towers. I can't claim to have seen all of them, but this remains in my memory the best show of its time. It is one of those shows you never forget and it most certainly deserved a longer run than it had. ... Read More
