The '80s References That Appear in This Season’s ‘Stranger Things’

The third season of Netflix’s “Stranger Things” has been watched by 40 million people since it debuted on July 4. The star of the show is arguably not the monster, but the era in which the show takes place. The horror series caught many fans’ attention thanks to its ode to the 1980s and season three continues the trend, taking place in the summer of 1985 as blockbuster “Back to the Future” hit theaters. The disastrous New Coke is also heavily advertised within the show.
