You’ve wandered into the topsy-turvy world of Tulgey Wood, the blog of writer and historian Jim Fanning. Tulgey Wood celebrates artistry and creativity (and sometimes just plain madness): movies, animation, TV, books, comics—and of course Disney, lots and lots of true-blue, through-and-through Disney, including D23 and Disney twenty-three Magazine, and Sketches Magazine and the Walt Disney Collectors Society. Tulgey Wood is so fun, fascinating and full of frolicsome photos and facts, it’s scary. So wander through the wonder of it all, and enjoy.

Eerie vs Salem, Marshall vs Max

1991 saw the premiere of the cult TV series, Eerie, Indiana, a horror/supernatural/sci-fi/comedy that ran for one abbreviated season. As seen in the Preview from the TV Guide Fall Preview issue for that 1991-1992 season, the show centered on a teen, Marshall Teller, who discovers that the town he and his family have just relocated to is, well, eerie. Marshall was portrayed by Omri Katz, who just a couple of years later, upped his already substantial supernatural cred by also playing Max Dennison who battles the evil Sanderson sisters in Salem, Massachusetts in Disney's Halloween classic Hocus Pocus. To find out more about Omri and the rest of the cast and creators of Hocus Pocus, please click here to read the D23 article I wrote about Disney's 1993 comedy-horror-thriller as the Countdown to Halloween 2019 slinks on through the jack-o-lantern illuminated darkness.

The Eventually Supertrain podcast has been covering the run of Eerie, Indiana one episode at a time. Fun show, too short lived!
