Stranger Things is a small-town horror with drama and buddy comedy elements. The writers, the Duffer Brothers, take inspiration from many of their favorite '80s movies, shows, and games. There are many classic fantasy and sci-fi tropes in the show; some are iconic reproductions, and some are inverted tropes.
