11. The Bicycle Lights

One of the many things that any creature from the Upside Down has the ability to do is mess with the lights. This is something Stranger Things showcased right out of the gate when poor Will Byers' bicycle light began to fizzle out during his ride home.

That bicycle light - much like Mike, Dustin and Lucas' - was clearly a bright white as it illuminated the small portion of the road the boys called Mirkwood. And yet, during the remainder of the day scenes throughout the season, you can clearly see the lights on all of the boys' bicycles are orange instead.

If you're looking for an explanation to this one, it's likely due to the fact that film crews are known to use orange gels when filming to level out the brightness of headlights during night shoots. As this orange gel was unnecessary during the day, somebody clearly forgot to remove it.
