Stranger Things 2 Trailer: 10 Shots You Must See
9. This Is Halloween
Stranger Things 2 has been set at the perfect time of year - Halloween. You know, right around when the show is actually going to drop.
There's a lot the show can do with this. Historically, a lot of genre series have stayed away from Halloween, as there has been a feeling that using the holiday is a bit too gimmicky, or too on the nose. The odd show or movie has turned this on its head - Trick r' Treat on the big screen (and of course the Halloween film series), and Buffy the Vampire Slayer on the small screen.
It looks like Stranger Things will tackle this head on, however. From using Michael Jackson's Thriller in a previous trailer to certain Halloween costumes, to the fantastic Hallween decorations seen above, it's clear reveling in the holiday was the right choice.
There's lots of potential, like allowing creatures to blend in easier, and plenty of jump scares beyond that.
In Stranger Things 2, it looks like Hawkins will become Halloween Town.
