I love that Joe Quinn is toying with people! But no, he's dead,

Wrapping up nearly 10 years of production, Stranger Things has been ramping up its marketing this past month, relying heavily on nostalgia. With many sayings such as "the end of an era" and "one last adventure" on Instagram, it seems like the directors, the Duffer Brothers, are really drumming up anticipation as Netflix's "best TV show" comes to an end.

Since this Netflix hit relies heavily on nostalgia and all things '80s and retro, the collection of cookies, candies, and kitchen tools also follows that theme. So if you were born that time or if you just enjoy all things from that decade, this collection would be right up your alley. The main draw is the Stranger Things Advent Calendar, which helps you count down to the Christmas season and is packed with '80s‑themed sweets and treats that would feel at home in Hawkins, Indiana.

The venues will offer a permanent year-round home for fans to engage with Netflix content, including a mix of complimentary and paid experiences. They are somewhat of a movie theater on steroids, offering theaters to catch screenings of-you guessed it-Netflix movies and shows, as well as some games and other experiences inspired by the streaming giant's library of content. Both sites will also feature casual, full-service restaurants serving food and cocktails.

Aaron Sims was challenged to design the Demogorgon for Stranger Things after the creators admitted they had no specific vision for the monster.

It was surreal, says Martin. Someone sent me a photo and I thought: I'm keeping that. As a little Australian, I'm still surprised to make a living out of this crazy career.

The Duffer Brothers cobbled together a fake trailer featuring clips from E.T. with its soundtrack replaced by the menacing synths of John Carpenter.
