'STRANGER THINGS' GETS A FAN-MADE '80S OPENING

By now, you’ve probably heard of Stranger Things. The new Netflix series starring Winona Ryder, Millie Bobby Brown, and an array of familiar-yet-new characters bring the eerie series to life, lending nods to the films and TV shows that inspired it. While several of the show’s central characters might remind fans of a Spielberg-worthy line-up, the scarier elements of the show reference Hollywood’s long lost love of Eerie Indiana — a subgenre that was also the title of a popular TV series — and the best of shows like X-Files or Twin Peaks.

While a recent video guru decided to pair famous shots and scenes next to shots from the show in comparison, the latest video to come out of the fandom is something a little lighter. It’s been done before, sure, but it’s fun every time — and this time, it really fits. Here’s Stranger Things with an ‘80s sitcom twist:

The video was uploaded by user Tim Bennett, who only has one other video uploaded — a 2003 bowling interview. While the video fits the ‘80s format perfectly, it’s worth noting that the song in question — Strange Things by Randy Newman — came out in 1995.
