Stranger Things is one of those rare instances where the hype was fully justified. It successfully milked my ’80s nostalgia by invoking the spirit of films like The Goonies and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial without ever feeling downright derivative. Everything from the badass, synth-heavy opening theme to Eleven’s Eggo waffle fetish was just disgustingly endearing.
Gearing up for the release of season two on October 27, the Stranger Things Instagram account will be releasing video game-themed artwork based on the events of the first season. According to Bannon Rudis, who worked on River City Ransom: Underground, "8 artists were picked to each represent an episode of season one. I'm episode 6: The Monster." Back in 2016, Rudis treated the world to the gorgeous pixel art pictured below, so I’m sure he’s stoked to be working on this stuff in some sort of "official" capacity.
