Title: Netflix Stranger Things
Post by: Iain Fisher on May 03, 2020, 07:39:58 PM
According to Megan Summers in Screen Rant 2 mAY 2020 ( https://screenrant.com/stranger-things-sci-fi-horror-movies-netflix-series-influences/ (https://screenrant.com/stranger-things-sci-fi-horror-movies-netflix-series-influences/) ) The Netflix series Stranger Things is influenced by Ken's Altered States, along with some other films. I haven't seen Stranger Things but I will try and catch it- it seems to be 26 episodes so far.  Filming has stopped for now because of Corona measures.

Other iconic films seen as influences are Under the Skin, Akira, Carrie, Nightmare on Elm Street, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Let The Right One In, Beyond the Black Rainbow (I don't know this one), Day of the Dead and Jaws.
