“Darkness falls upon the land; the midnight hour is close at hand.”
On the eve of Friday the 13th, Netflix has conjured up a suitably spooky teaser for Stranger Things season 2, with the full and indeed final trailer expected online sometime tomorrow.
Yes, while the Netflix original series began life as a summer sleeper hit, co-creators Matt and Ross Duffer have embraced the show’s horror elements with arms wide open, resulting in an expanded instalment that will seemingly ramp up the scare factor on October 27th.
Behind the scenes, Netflix subscribers can expect a number of fresh faces to take up residence in Hawkins, Indiana, including Sadie Sink, Dacre Montgomery Paul Reiser, Chelsea Talmadge and Brett Gelman as Murray Bauman, a conspiracy nut who will surely cause a headache or three for Chief Jim Hopper. We also learned recently that the Powers That Be have tweaked the episode titles ever so slightly. The final three are still shrouded in secrecy at the moment, but those other monikers are as follows: “Madmax” “Trick or Treat Freak,” The Pollywog,” “Will the Wise,” “Dig Dug,” “The Spy.”
Also, spare a thought for young Will Byers. Despite escaping the Upside Down by the skin of his teeth, Noah Schnapps’ struggles to acclimate back into everyday life. Coughing up slugs doesn’t exactly help matters, either.
In fact, Will’s PTSD is something Matt Duffer touched on in the past, stating:
He seems to be seeing images from the Upside Down — the question is whether they’re real or not. So it seems like he’s having some sort of post-traumatic stress disorder.
The countdown is on: Stranger Things season 2 will officially get underway on Friday, October 27th, and you can check back to We Got This Covered tomorrow for full coverage of the final trailer.
