Stranger Things - The Ultimate Guide

The irresistible concept at the heart of Stranger Things is to take some plucky and loveable Steven Spielberg eighties kids and put them in a dark but thrilling Stephen King story. How about it takes place in 1983? What if the early eighties synth maestro John Carpenter composed the music with Tangerine Dream? How about the grouchy but big hearted small town sheriff is based on Indiana Jones and Chief Brody from Jaws? The teenagers could be from a John Hughes movie. What about a little girl with strange super powers? That's Stephen King and manga in one stroke. Stranger Things sought to bottle the cinematic aura of the eighties. To capture some of that old Spielberg magic and lace it with a sci-fi horror aesthetic awash in shrewd nostalgic influences. Stranger Things - The Ultimate Guide is an affectionate and fact filled celebration of the hit Netflix series. The book includes a comprehensive review and retrospective of every episode from both seasons, an A to Z of Stranger Things, and a look at the more obscure influences of the show. So, grab your paddles and let the curiosity voyage begin!
