Description
Stranger Things and the '80s: A Comprehensive Guide to the Show's Influences and Nostalgic World. Since its premiere in 2016, Stranger Things has become a global phenomenon, restoring the pulse and feel of a decade - the 1980s. The show's creators, the Duffer Brothers, describe it as "a love letter to the '80s." This book delves into that world, revealing everything you want to know about the series and its influences. From its synth soundtrack to its retro fonts, Stranger Things is populated with references, homages, and artifacts from the Reagan era. The book explores the parallels between the show's biggest touchstone, E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial, and its connections to other '80s books and movies, such as Stand By Me, IT, and Aliens. It also examines the significance of The Clash's hit song, "Should I Stay Or Should I Go," and delves into the world of Dungeons & Dragons, which incited a national panic in the '80s. Packed with detail and insight, this book is an ultimate companion to the hit show and the era that inspired it.
