The premise
When a young boy vanishes, a small town uncovers a mystery involving secret experiments, terrifying supernatural forces, and one strange little girl.
Horror Vault's take
A quiet Indiana town is shaken to its core when a young boy disappears without a trace, drawing his desperate mother, a determined local sheriff, and a tight-knit group of kids into a web of dark government secrets. Lurking beneath the surface of everyday suburban life is something deeply unnatural — a terrifying force that defies explanation. The arrival of a mysterious girl with extraordinary abilities sends the investigation spiraling into territory no one could have prepared for. Equal parts heartfelt and horrifying, Stranger Things blends 1980s nostalgia with genuine dread to deliver a coming-of-age story unlike any other.
