Stranger Things 2 Trailer: 10 Shots You Must See

5. Something In The Flames

It's hard to make out, and there's no good, clear shot of it in the trailer, but there appears to be a lab fire early on in the Stranger Things 2 trailer. And there's clearly something in the flames. Something moving.

As hard as it is to get a clear look at whatever this may be, it's very obviously not human. It has a serpentine feel to it, but it could also be an appendage, a tentacle attached to something. Perhaps a version of that towering, Lovecraftian monstrosity we see earlier in the trailer.

There are a few possibilities here. One is that it's the creature itself, early in its life cycle. Perhaps it was something created, or at least unleashed, in the Hawkins National Laboratory. Maybe this is its escape, or a misguided attempt by the government to kill it.

Maybe there's more than one of these beasts, or perhaps this is one of its offspring.

It could be something else entirely, but the way it moves in this brief clip makes it seem like it's related.
