Okay, tons of SPOILERS so don't open if you're not ready.
Found this cool article..
"A Stranger Things Glossary: Every Major Film Reference in the Show, From A–Z"
- Not that convinced. Sounds like a film buff grasping at straws for some to sound oh so knowledgeable. Some are not even references.microkorg

That last episode left me with no nails! lol
- I know... had me on edge of my seat... scarfed like 3 McDLT's, chased w/ a 2L of Crystal Pepsi, 3 bags of Pop Rocks and a pack of Popeye cigarettes!prophetone
- hahahasea_sea

So rare is it that you sit down and watch something that you know instantly was a labour of love and not some board room project (aka preacher).
The photography is superb and the directors blocking is perfect, editing just flows and the actors feel like they are just living and breathing their roles effortlessly.
The intro in the start is fucking perfectly made.
I'm at like eposide 7 or 8 or Preacher and sort of like it and I'm a massive fan of the comics - but I just watched 3 of this and addicted.
Only minor complaint is sometimes its cliche when it doesn't need to but hey ho cant have everything.
Loving the creature. Again God I'm a nerd!
- Instead of cliché I would say it has the perfect formula to give it the 80s feeling we are so accustomed to, and it's great.Maaku
- wow - it's good but not that good. watch It Follows if you enjoy VHS/Betamax nostalgia.fadein11
- Loved "it follows".
I just love the blocking, editing flow and the DI work!mugwart - It Follows was ok ... nice visuals and amazing score but the story?!? meh.Ramanisky2

Loving it so far. I don't know if you can see in on YouTube, but on my TV when watching in the dark, the opening credits have little grains and specs, especially noticeable near the end of the credits.
And the title type face reminds me of Stephen King novels from the 80's, as a similar typeface was used on his books from that era.
- Yeah... Totally spotted that King book font treatment... Thought it was a nice touchPonyBoy
- Completely different fonts.monospaced
- no shit, mono... it paid homage... yes totally different fonts... but the S and R placement etc...
again... a nice touchPonyBoy - pretty standard 70's/80's horror film fonts.fadein11
- The 'grains' and 'specs' treatment...been seeing that a lot the last few years. Mostly just people being retro / trendy—but here it's lovely / purposeful. <3 itPonyBoy
- This has so much going for it, I'm sad there are only 8 episodes. Firing up episode 3 now!elahon
- not exactly official... but it looks like Modine let it slip that there will be a second season, elahon: http://screencrush.c…PonyBoy
- PonyBoy chill, no need to lash out at me with curse words just because the fonts look nothing alike. Same time period is the "no shit" here.monospaced
- Your consistent 'corrective tone' needs to fucking "chill", mono... that and your 'captain obvious' comments are damn near as annoying as yuri at times. smhPonyBoy
- @elahon i love watching this in the dark as well. :)sea_sea
- Im a type nerd on a design site. The fonts are different. That's what I said. You got bent out of shape like a child.monospaced
- And you're delusional if you think I'm corrective in nature. Must be thinking of someone else. I don't go around like a cunt correcting spelling like some jerksmonospaced
- Nobody said it was the exact font but paying homage to the era... your statement was obvious an unnecessary... and corrective. Never Change, mono. :)PonyBoy
- Sorry you felt that way, but I feel the same about your response to me. I didn't see my comment as anything but a discussion on what typeface it was.monospaced
- lots of feelings going on here...
... up for a hug, young fella? c'mon... bring it in.... briiiiiing it in. <3 sorr sorr, mono <3PonyBoy - I didn't notice any corrective tone - he just knew what the font was... jesus of all the shit that goes down on here to get annoyed about that ha.fadein11
- Fade... Did you need captain 'no shit' to explain those fonts weren't the same?PonyBoy
- Why do you keep calling me captain 'no shit?' I don't have a habit of going around making corrections and stating the obvious. Relax.monospaced
- wow, dude, I respect a lot this intro, have to see the show nowfeel

Trying to avoid any semblance of spoiler on here, but wanted to post a link to the guys who did most of the synth music. I've only watched the first episode last night, but the music is fantastic and just so perfect for this show.

SPOILER (maybe?) I was a little bummed at the end, thinking it was just going to be one season but the last episode shows what looks like a posible continuation. I hope they do.

- Like the reverse soviet russia version of bmx getaway scene in E.T... car flies over youprophetone
- Ya ETpango
- monospaced1
- The Stephen King one is a different flavor altogether.monospaced
- yep. I think they were going for that flavour but there were many 70's/80's horror films that used v.similar fonts to the title sequence.fadein11
- Yeah. Understood. But this typeface is extremely unique and recognizable. Not many like it.monospaced
- I never liked this font. I had it in 1994 at my first design job. It seemed very 70s and dated even then.CyBrainX
- Same here. First job in 1998 and it was part of the identity where I worked in college. Know it too well.monospaced

Yep enjoying it - 3 in.
Love the title sequence but need more of those touches throughout - although it is good.
Like a kiddy version of It Follows or The Conjuring in terms of VHS/Betamax nostalgia.
Interested to see how it pans out.
Winona is a really bad so far but not sure if she is meant to be... prob so.
Really like the copy chewing pills at any opportunity.
It's a like a QBN wet dream really isn't it ha!?- Winona is*
Cop chewing pills*
phone screen and no glasses lol.fadein11
- Winona is*

I love the opening titles. They're really simple but the music is John Carpenteresque, the typography is period perfect and it looks like they've even added little bits of, for want of a better phrase, 'film speckles'.
- "grain" might be the word you're looking forsublocked
- No not grain, I mean when specks of dust get on a projected film.Wolfboy
- I see the speckles tooprophetone

If you were an eighties kid, this will seem really familiar.
- Familiar how? I haven't watched it yet.monospaced
- Very Spielberg influenced. In a very good way.Poochie
- I love that.monospaced
- sounds goodmoldero

Just finished s03 ep08. Hmm... I sincerely hope this was it. Season one was great. 2 was ok. This... had its moments, but very meh.
Eleven character and actress is amazing.

Disappointing
It;s all over the place. The shows survives on nostalgia. They have the formula and roped a large age group in.
They should have ended it after the first season.
