13 Oct The New Stranger Things 2 Trailer Will Leave You Numb

When the first series of Stranger Things premiered on Netflix in 2016, people were amazed by the streaming service’s ability continually to produce incredible original content year after year.

Stranger Things quickly garnered a lot of attention and became one of the most popular series to ever debut on Netflix – all thanks to its incredible storyline and cast. It even revitalised Winona Ryder’s career.

The sci-fi drama, set in the 80s, follows a group of adolescents as they battle supernatural forces in the wake of a boy named Will Byers’ disappearance. He went missing after being followed home by an unseen monster.

It soon becomes apparent that will is is trapped in an alternate universe called the Upside Down, and his entrapment has unleashed a terrifying monster on the fictional town of Hawkins.

Now Stranger Things is returning for a second series on October 27, and a full trailer has just been released! Because today is Friday the 13th, and it is October, so no other date could be more appropriate.

The trailer was a recreation of the original Friday the 13th trailer from 1980. This was an apt move on the part of the show’s creators, as Stranger Things already nods to a number of 80s classics like The Goonies.

The original Friday the 13th trailer from 1980 showed 13 eerie snippets (creepily counting up from one to 13) of what viewers could expect from the movie, and so did the Stranger Things trailer.

The trailer sparked our curiosity about the upcoming season more than ever before – causing us to wonder who Joyce Byers is burying, what kind the sheriff met, and what made Mike cup his hands around his head in fear…
