Stranger Things is a love letter to 1980s nerd and pop culture. The Duffer Brothers cite many films, shows, and video games that influenced them as writers. The series is a dark fantasy sci-fi about a ragtag group of heroes, which was a popular concept in the ’80s.Beyond thematic references to classic ’80s stories and franchises, there are many references threaded throughout Stranger Things. Some are like Easter eggs and inside jokes, like Karen Wheeler’s taste in novels and the inspiration behind Eddie Munson’s name. Whether someone’s a fan of the ’80s or was there personally, Stranger Things has a wonderful nostalgic feel that few other shows have pulled off.When Bob drives Will Byers to school, he wants to help a kid who’s clearly going through something difficult. He wants to give Will a way to deal with his trauma and fears, so he shares that when he was younger, he was terribly afraid of clowns. The solution he imparts to Will is to confront his fears to take his power back. The clown Bob describes is a direct reference to Stephen King’s notorious clown monster, It, according to the Duffer Brothers.
