Stranger Things / Netflix
We are 42 days away from the Stranger Things Season 2 premiere on Netflix. Season 2 drops on October 27th, the Friday before Halloween, and the trailers thus far have been nothing short of spectacular.
Season 1 of Stranger Things became an overnight cultural phenomenon. People who hate/can’t stand Sci-Fi Thrillers were drawn to the series because it captures 70’s and 80’s nostalgia in a way that no other TV series has been able to do. Stranger Things nailed that vintage Americana that made the classic Sci-Fi and Thriller films so epic.
Netflix has released a series of posters for Stranger Things Season 2, and each of the posters pays homage to a classic film…I’m sitting here wondering if it’s too early to print these out, frame them, and put them up in my man cave because they’re that good:

We can expect more of the tributes to classic 70’s and 80’s films in Season 2 of Stranger Things, and we know this because the show’s creators have already confirmed this in the past. Last season, Netflix released a trailer which showed all of the classic film references you could find in Stranger Things. We haven’t seen that yet, but these posters give us a glimpse of what to expect.
You can check out all of the Twitter responses to these posters over on Twitter Moments.
