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.
