Happy Friday, my dear strangers! This is Mrs. Strange, and on today’s episode
for Stranger Universe, I will talk about another small tease
for Stranger Things 5 that came from the writer’s account on social media!
Earlier today, the Duffer Brothers and the rest of the Stranger Writers on Twitter posted this
interesting tweet that stirred a bunch of fan theories about what it could mean. The tweet is
as follows: “We rarely promote new movies on here. But Evil Dead Rise and Stranger Things
season 5 share something small but awesome in common.” For the uninitiated, Evil Dead Rise is
an American supernatural horror movie that just premiered in cinemas around the world today. It
is the fifth installment of the Evil Dead film series, a franchise that originated in the 80s
and inspired other horror cinema for decades to come. As a matter of fact, a poster for the
first Evil Dead film is seen on the back wall in Jonathan’s bedroom during Stranger Things season
1, so that lets you know how much the Duffers love this film series. Now, it looks like they
will utilize a certain element from Evil Dead in the upcoming fifth and final season of Stranger
Things. The general story of Evil Dead Rise is that a reunion between two estranged sisters gets
cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival
as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable. Without delving too much
into spoiler territory, the trailers and poster depict the mother of the family being possessed
by the evil entities. Lots of fans have speculated that maybe Joyce Byers or Karen Wheeler will be
possessed in season 5, and others go as far as saying that a sister centric plot in Stranger
Things 5 would mean that Kali is finally going to make her epic comeback. The key detail that
lots of fans seem to be overlooking is that the connection between Stranger Things 5 and this
new film Evil Dead Rise is “small but awesome,” implying that it won’t be what many are expecting.
For all we know, it could be something as simple as sharing the same director of photography or
same music choice. I have yet to see the film so I don’t know if there are any 80s songs
in it. It could also be sharing an actor that appeared in the film. One fan theory I really
like is that Steve Harrington’s father will finally be introduced in season 5, and that
he will be played by veteran actor Bruce Campbell, famous for playing the main character role of Ash
throughout the Evil Dead series. I am not sure if he showed up in a cameo role in the newest film,
but it is still worth mentioning. Other theories about this possible connection is that Stranger
Things 5 will bring back the flayed from season 3, maybe with new hosts? For all we know, it could be
that a character is going to wield a chainsaw against the Demogorgons, which is actually
something that could be visually appealing in the final battle of season 5. To be honest, I
have not seen any of the Evil Dead movies, only a few scenes here and there. It is a very bloody and
gory series of horror films, not for the faint of heart. It remains to be seen what this mysterious
“small but awesome” element will be when season 5 finally comes out. Overall, very enticing times.
And that is all that we have for today! What do you think about
this newest tease for Stranger Things season 5?
