Hang on, how is 'It' almost as scary as a Xenomoprh. I'd have thought it was more so.

I meant the horror of Stephen King's It, with a creature almost as scary as the xenomorph from Alien instead of the It creature.

My wife loathes horror movies. But she loves Stranger Things. It's mostly in your head anyway.

Thanks, that sounds more like what I was hoping. I guess it's hard to really explain without spoilers, but it looks like I'll be giving this a go.

I guess I didn't consider this a horror. I'd consider it a drama/thriller type movie.

I view it as sci-fi.

Thanks all, the more I look at reviews of this, the more it looks like it's only really 'horror' in the sense that it can be a bit scary. 80's nostalgia trip, here I come!

Ok, so this might be strange criticism to try and justify, and I might be the only one thinking it, but...
It rubs me the wrong way that they have all of those titles in there. It makes me believe that they think borrowing from 80's cinema is what makes that show. To me, that isn't what made Stranger Things what it is. It's way more than a a mashup of 80's movies. They did a great job delving into their own original ideas and creating the characters they did. I hope they don't go overboard on the 80's cinema nostalgia. It's a fine line between a sort of 80's period piece and 80's nostalgia show. I hope they see that, and I hope they play more towards a period piece vibe, than they do the nostalgia aspect.
I have a hard time putting this idea into words, and it skirts a very fine line, This probably doesn't make a lot of sense, but I hope it does.

I believe those are the Season 2 episode titles, not a list of films they plan to emulate. I watched this morning but didn't go back to check - was there another movie title after "MadMax?" I'd expect that even that episode will have nothing directly to do with the film "Mad Max."
