Eerie Postal Service versus Eerie Police

Amelia Earhart sprinted past the wooden gazebo where feral water sprites gathered beneath the eaves, itching to drip down upon unsuspecting park-goers and slowly permeate the host consciousness for their own aqueous designs, slowed as she approached the rose garden populated entirely by carnivorous blossoms, and finally came to a gentle stop alongside the reflecting pool where a school of philately trout swam in slow and varicoloured circles.

The mail carrier on duty eyed her suspiciously, one hand resting lightly on the heavy brass franking machine at his belt. Philately trout were expensive and fragile, and as such, heavily protected.

This week, your options are:

Eerie PD versus Eerie Postal Service

One of the pot holes had half-swallowed a mail van that had been parked at the kerbside. The postal worker stood over the gravel-coated gullet, firing his standard-issue handgun down into a maw ringed with thousands of yellowed teeth.

Even if the pot hole gave up, Marshall wasn't sure how the man intended to get his truck free.

A barbed tongue, wet and pink and viscous with half-digested concrete, lashed out at the mailman's leg, earning itself a kick from boots laced with silver and cold iron for it's troubles.

No wonder they only lost one letter every sixty-two years.

Marshall Teller heard the tell-tale clatter of the mail slot and headed out into the hall to collect the post. On a rubberized welcome mat etched with protective sigils carved by a obsidian blade lay a bulging manila envelope, it's surface smeared with glitter and gore. Inside it, something twitched and writhed.

He slipped on a pair of Kevlar gloves and lifted it carefully by one corner, searching for a return address as he headed back to the kitchen.

"Anything good?" asked Simon.

"Maybe," said Marshall. "Either there's another new cult opening, or Janet's sent us coupons for the Baitshop."

In honor of the anniversary of the premiere of #eerieindiana, I will be live tweeting the pilot episode, “Foreverware”

First sighting of the Secret Spot! #eerieindiana

— Citizen D (@TheCitizenD) September 15, 2019

I wish we’d gotten the stories of some of these people in the extended opening. Like the gun-toting mailman and laundry lady. #eerieindiana

— Citizen D (@TheCitizenD) September 15, 2019

Watching this one this soon after the werewolf episode kinda brings home just how much Marshall grew up in the course of one season. He’s so young here! #eerieindiana

— Citizen D (@TheCitizenD) September 15, 2019

Creepy lady with her creepy twins. #eerieindiana

— Citizen D (@TheCitizenD) September 15, 2019

Simon! #eerieindiana

— Citizen D (@TheCitizenD) September 15, 2019

First appearance of the “Better Weird Than Dead” catchphrase #eerieindiana

— Citizen D (@TheCitizenD) September 15, 2019

“30-something” seemed so ancient back when I watched this the first time #eerieindiana

— Citizen D (@TheCitizenD) September 15, 2019

Run, Marshall! You don’t have time for explanatory dialogue! #eerieindiana

— Citizen D (@TheCitizenD) September 15, 2019

[Note to self: I need to clean out the fridge]

— Citizen D (@TheCitizenD) September 15, 2019

Okay, the Foreverware song is stuck in my head for the rest of the day. #eerieindiana

— Citizen D (@TheCitizenD) September 15, 2019

Creepy claustrophobic moment #eerieindiana

— Citizen D (@TheCitizenD) September 15, 2019

“just a kid” Don’t disrespect Simon like that, Marshall! #eerieindiana

— Citizen D (@TheCitizenD) September 15, 2019

There’s a whole story arc about how Simon and Marshall go from hoping someone in authority will Do Something if they can just present them with enough evidence to not trusting anyone at all #eerieindiana

— Citizen D (@TheCitizenD) September 15, 2019

The first time I watched this, I thought for sure they’d killed her #eerieindiana

— Citizen D (@TheCitizenD) September 15, 2019

Also did not want to eat bologna for a very long time #Eerieindiana

— Citizen D (@TheCitizenD) September 15, 2019

Every year I watch this as I get older, the more appealing Foreverware seems as a concept. I have officially lived long enough to see myself becoming the villain #eerieindiana

— Citizen D (@TheCitizenD) September 15, 2019

I wonder how long Marshall keeps that pledge not to eat leftovers #eerieindiana

— Citizen D (@TheCitizenD) September 15, 2019

This is still one of the creepiest and most memorable episodes of anything on television #eerieindiana

— Citizen D (@TheCitizenD) September 15, 2019

I was sitting outside one day waiting for my lunch when a mail truck vroomed by on our road. Within seconds i made up a cute nsfw comic in my head about a mailman and a hot lady..

MAYBE I SHOULD JUST MAKE JACK A MAILMAN LOL

— 🔻J△CK🔻 (@Yuurikin) July 7, 2019

Showing my age but I misread as Milkman and remembered the one in Eerie Indiana.

always feel so grown-up buying stamps.

Look at ME, I have to SEND something somewhere. So glam.

Do you end up with books of unused ones that you can never find? I use them so rarely that I end up buying a new book every time.

— Beverly Sanford 🍂🇪🇺 (@Beviathan) June 25, 2019

it's entirely possible. I'm sure this flat eats things sometimes.

— Jen '100% Dragon Age trash' Williams (@sennydreadful) June 25, 2019

I keep thinking my house is like that episode of Eerie, Indiana with the lost and found

It's the 14th of the month, and that's the date we put aside to think about all those amazing minor characters, places, organisations and general backdrop that make Eerie so compellingly watchable.

This month's theme is:
