Stranger Things: 20 Best Moments
12. Barbara's Death (S1 E3: Holly, Jolly)
Another fan favourite (‘Justice for Barb!’) meets a tragic, grisly end when she attends Steve Harrington’s house party with best friend, Nancy.
Barbara rightfully feels uncomfortable at the party, as she is not friends with the others and fears Nancy may get hurt by Steve, only to find herself isolated above the pool outside, abandoned by Nancy.
The moment Barbara is taken is truly horrifying due to the juxtaposition of Steve and Nancy getting together for an intimate night, whilst her friend is screaming for her life, trapped in the Upside Down.
No wonder poor Barb gained such a dedicated fan base.
