Disney's Gravity Falls - Cultish Goodness



The upcoming Disney trailer for 'Gravity Falls,' a series created by Alex Hirsch kind of caught my interest with its cute style and emphasis on the paranormal. The show features twins Dipper and Mabel Pines dealing with strange happenings in the titular town of Gravity Falls, with their Uncle Stan in tow. Certain little touches definitely added some interesting flair to the trailer, including Uncle Stan's fez, which bears great resemblance to hats worn by Shiners (Related to Freemasons) and the little image which briefly flashes at the end of the trailer. After a little investigation, it turns out that the nonsensical looking letters on the page: 'VWDQ LV QRW ZKDW KH VHHPV' translate to 'Stan is not what he seems' by moving each part of the code three letters back.

Stan is not what he seems.
Considering Alex's self proclaimed obsession with shows like the X-Files and Twin Peaks, I have a feeling that this show might offer some very interesting twists to anyone that decides to follow it. The show premieres June 29 on the Disney Channel.
