Stranger Things: 20 Best Moments

11. Bob’s Sacrifice (S2 E8: The Mind Flayer)

Stranger Things
Netflix

The nerdy, loveable Bob ‘the Superhero’, played by the charming, dorky Sean Astin, is another character who meets a gruesome end, at the claws of an army of Demodogs.

To help the others escape Hawkins Lab, Bob bravely sacrifices himself in a gut wrenching scene, where Joyce is forced to watch her boyfriend be mauled alive by the creatures.

For one relieving moment, we thought Bob succeeded and could escape with the others, but all of that comes crashing down in a genuinely horrifying moment.

This scene is unapologetically gory and a devastating loss for such a loyal character.
