Stranger Things Season 2: 9 Big Questions After The Super Bowl Spot

9. What's With The Ghostbusters Costumes?

One of the real attention grabbing shots of the teaser, which makes the wise move of putting Dustin (everyone's favourite out of the school kids) front and centre, sees the gang dressed up as Ghostbusters.

To some degree it makes sense: this takes place in 1984, the year Ghostbusters was released in cinemas, making them the perfect age to obsess over the film, and then complain about their childhoods being ruined 32-years-later by an all-female reboot (provided they survive that long).

But then... it's not like this is some fancy dress day at school. So why are they dressed up as Ghostbusters? Sure, maybe they just wanted to do something different, but could there be an actual narrative reason for them to be doing it?
