    Stranger Things loves to feature actors known for iconic ’80s movie and TV roles, and Paul Reiser’s addition to the series for Season 2 is one of the most notable. Early on, his part as a doctor working for the government-affiliated Hawkins Lab calls to mind his bureaucratic character from Aliens, James Cameron’s 1986 sequel to Alien, which was an ...

    There are a few nods to this sequel/prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark, released the summer before Season 2’s 1984 setting. One is Sheriff Hopper (David Harbour) going back for his hat in the tunnels, a la Indiana Jones. Another is Winona Ryder’s character burning her possessed son in an effort to get him to snap out of his condition, a la Short Ro...

    One of the most blatant references is to another summer 1984 hit, as Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) and Will (Noah Schnapp) all dress up as Ghostbusters for Halloween. But it’s not just the logos on their jumpsuits that should have fans recalling the paranormal comedy classic. When the boys split up to look...

    Another major new character is played by Sean Astin, who made his feature film debut in this classic kids’ adventure released in 1985. The first season of Stranger Things had plenty of its own nods to The Goonies, but this time there’s an actual Goonie on screen. In one scene, Astin even gets to make a meta reference to his own movie when his Bob “...

    Yes, the new season of Stranger Things sort of implicitly references a movie that just came out last month. Technically, the whole series has been influenced by Stephen King’s original 1986 novel (maybe also by the 1990 TV miniseries adaptation), but now there’s a feature film for extra comparison, a feature film that just so happens to costar Stra...

    Another classic from summer 1984 gets a nod in the form of Lucas’s new pet, D’Artigan, aka D’Art. What he thinks is some kind of pollywog turns out to be a baby “Demogorgon” creature, kind of like the terror dogs of Ghostbusters, which he eventually classifies as “Demodogs.” In Gremlins, a young man is gifted a cute little Mogwai creature, which is...

    One of a few movies referenced in Stranger Things season 2 that was released prior to the year of the show’s setting, this 1973 horror classic is about a little girl possessed by a demon. The movie is evoked in a few scenes involving Will’s possession by an entity from the “Upside Down” dimension. At one point, Will taps out a Morse code message to...

    One of the easiest and most fun ways for a show like this to make movie references it to have a costume party, and since Season 2 is set around Halloween, we were in luck for cool nods to The Karate Kid, Halloween, Friday the 13th, Animal House and more. But the most significant besides the boys in their Ghostbusters costumes are teen sweethearts N...

    One more summer 1984 movie, this one arriving late in the season, Red Dawnappears to get a nod when conspiracy theorist Murray Bauman (Brett Gellman) tells Sheriff Hopper about how the Soviets are invading their small town. He believes the psychic child Eleven to be from Russia, too. In Red Dawn, it’s up to a band of teens to go up against their lo...

    You can’t miss the two references to The Terminator, which opened in theaters the weekend before the events of Stranger Things season 2. We see the title on the marquee of the local cinema, and then we see a commercial for the James Cameron-helmed sci-fi classic. But while there aren’t really any other nods to the first movie, its 1991 sequel, Term...
