Eerie, Indiana- Would it be appropriate for.... (1 Viewer)

[todd s]

My daughter is 9 years old and loves the Goosebumps shows and books. Eerie,IN seems to be very similar. Would that show be appropriate for her age and is it similar to Goosebumps? I know it is based on one kid in his town and the strange goings on.

Thanks!

Yeah Todd, I think it would be fine. It's been awhile since I've seen it, but I remember it being a "fun" show more than a "scary" show.

I believe so. If I recall, I think it used to run in the 7 p.m. hour or even on Saturday mornings, both prime family/kid time. I think the Goosebumps crowd was exactly the audience they were hoping for.

Eerie leans more toward "bizarre" than "scary" or "creepy". If your daughter enjoys such strangeness, I agree that the show should be fine for her. (No strong language, sexual content, etc.) In fact, in many ways, Eerie has always reminded me just a bit of a kids show from several years ago..."Pete & Pete"...which was another very entertaining exercise in strangeness. Made for kids, but enjoyed by many adults, myself included. Eerie has that same warped sensibility about it.

I think it would be fine.

The show is suppose to be a X-Files for kids, so that's the show it more closely resembles IMO.

The main difference is that Eerie, IN is much better.

That's about the age I was when I watched it. Perfectly fine for a 9 year old.

As someone from Indiana... who grew up on the show, I can honestly tell you that Eerie, Indiana was not a scary show, and if your daughter loves Goosebumps, then she will really enjoy this. It is more of a sci-fi, family friendly show.
