First, Joyce Byers (Winona Ryder) notices that her fridge magnets stop working and fall to the floor.
It's a coil wrapped around a metallic core and when electricity passes through it...
Joyce: It creates an electromagnetic field.
Scott: And this field affects any charged object in its vicinity.
Scott: Oh, because our field is stable.
But, in order to reach your house and downtown, gosh, that would take billions of volts of electricity and would cost tens of millions of dollars.
We have to agree with Stephen King that the world-famous Netflix show owes a lot to Stephen King’s books.
This started out as a motivation to write their own versions of “IT,” which finally paved its way to Netflix in 2015.And you will find a lot of similarities between IT and Stranger Things.
Even the gang of Will Buyers has some sources of inspiration in the “Losers Club”- a group of teenagers who are very hopeless in their own lives, but when they come together, they do something heroic.
In Stranger Things, we see a similar group led by Fin Wolfhard’s Mike Wheeler and Mille Bobby Brown’s Eleven saving their beloved city of Hawkins from an evil force that is much bigger than themselves whilst struggling with their own lives.The “Duffer Brothers” have agreed that the novel “IT” left such a cathartic impression on them that it will be difficult for any other story to overshadow it.
They clarified in a statement that they didn’t mean to say that other Stephen King’s books weren’t good enough, “they were,” but because they could relate with the protagonists of” IT” in 1986, it became, and it still is their favorite book of all time.Matt and Ross hailed King as their “god” and said that “Stranger Things” is just a way of “serial communication” with him.
Now coming to the opinion of the master storyteller himself, King has tweeted several times about the series, and in one of the tweets, he admitted that though he likes the Netflix series a lot, Duffer Brothers’ work owes a lot of gratitude to the novel “IT.”He acknowledged that The Party and the Losers Club have the same theme- a group of misfits saving a city despite their own shortcomings.In another tweet, he gave an A+ to the series and said that it’s a fun watch, specifically mentioning the name of the star Winona Ryder calling her a “shining” thing on the show.
Hungarian photographer and Lego fan, Lampert Benedek, has shared his latest series which uses the Lego Stranger Things 'The Upside Down' set to recreate scenes from the show, and it's fantastic.
Even if Stranger Things isn't your cup of tea, you have to admit that toy photography is so much fun because you need to get pretty creative to pull it off.
Lampert was helped out significantly with the Lego Stranger Things-themed set 'The Upside Down' but his own practical effects took the pictures to a whole new level, most of which you can peruse on his Facebook page.
He even put together a video to show us all how he went about creating the snaps, that include iconic scenes from the show like Joyce and her Christman lights.
It's only a few minutes long, so if you have time, it's worth a watch.
Some touches were added in post, but for the most part, it was all down to a bit of elbow grease.
