In 1997, following the series' rebirth on Fox Kids, ''Eerie'' was continued as a short-lived series of books that continued the story, allegedly just one year after the end of the original series. The books were met with mixed reviews and after just seventeen entries, the series was cancelled in 1998.

''Eerie, Indiana'' was a nineteen-episode supernatural series that aired on Creator/{{NBC}} from 1991-92 (in prime time). It ran again on Creator/FoxKids Saturday mornings from 1997-98 as part of their "No Yell Motel" block, which included a lot of scary kids' shows (the live-action adaptation of ''Series/{{Goosebumps}}'', reruns of the Australian kids' show ''Series/RoundTheTwist'', and Creator/StevenSpielberg's first animated project from [[Creator/DreamWorksAnimation DreamWorks]] Studios, ''WesternAnimation/{{Toonsylvania}}''). The series could be described as "''Series/TwinPeaks'' meets ''Franchise/TheTwilightZone'' told from the POV of a snarky 13-year-old version of [[Series/TheXFiles Fox Mulder]]".

* NothingExcitingEverHappensHere: Not even in the eyes of most of the "weirdness" in question, which continually sees the rest of the town as the most normal place on Earth.

* PopCultureSymbology: In the episode ''The Broken Record'', an [[AbusiveParents abusive father]] blames his son's [[TheQuincyPunk decision to become a punk]] on Satanic Panic and this trope, with one record in specific (the one that provides the title, which was found by the kid shortly before changing attitudes) being the symbol of his hatred. He plays it backwards at the climax of the episode in front of many fellow parents and even the sheriff, and it ''do'' has a secret message in it, all right: [[AccidentalPublicConfession a recording of his abusive tirades to his son]].

** In "Marshall's Theory of Believability", Professor Nigel Zirchon has his assistant Claude plant a fake "space thing" in Eerie in order to fool the town's government into spending a fortune to buy it from him. However, it turns out that Claude never had the opportunity to plant the fake as he was frightened by a [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti female Bigfoot]]. The "space thing" that the Tellers, Simon and Professor Zirchon found was genuine. This is demonstrated when it lights up, levitates and returns to space. Simon manages to get a blurry photo of it before it disappears.

* StupidCrooks: "The Hole in the Head Gang" focuses on the ghost of Grungy Bill, "The Worst Bank Robber East of the Mississippi" ("worst" as in "no good, incompetent"). According to Eerie legend, Bill was arrested twelve times (all for failed attempts to rob the Eerie Bank). When robbing the bank for the 13th time, he forgot to bring his gun, and ended up getting killed by the sheriff's posse at the Eerie Mill, where, rumor has it, Grungy Bill's ghost can be spotted trying to look for his gun. The rumor proves to be true when Marshall and Simon uncover Grungy Bill's gun and his ghost returns to attempt to rob the Eerie Bank for a 14th time. This time, he's able to get away with stealing [[BankToaster one of the complimentary toasters the bank was giving away to anyone who opens a new bank account]]. Grungy Bill determines this to be a successful bank robbery and can finally rest in peace.
