And now, let us begin...
Sure, it also has great characters and a talented cast, but a large part of the appeal of Netflix’s
smash-hit Stranger Things is ’80s nostalgia, as creators the Duffer brothers have concocted
the show’s mythos by lovingly (or shamelessly, depending on your point of view) pilfering
from that decade’s cache of pop culture — everything from E.T. to X-Men comics.
The series returns for its fourth season later this month and, if this new poster’s anything
to go by, it’ll lean into the horror side of things more than ever.
The official Stranger Things Twitter account shared the eye-popping poster, which comes
from veteran Stranger Things promotional artist Kyle Lambert, along with the caption, “*screams
in demogorgon* THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVER.
Volume 1 May 27.”
This serves as a reminder that the first half of Stranger Things 4 is due out in just over
two weeks’ time.
The poster features the full intergenerational cast of heroes, from Millie Bobby Brown’s
Eleven to David Harbour’s Hopper.
The crux of the image is the Creel house, the creepy haunted abode that was once the
site of a brutal massacre in the 1950s.
As we’ve seen in the trailers, the house’s evil will reawaken 30 years later.
And it’s all tied into a new monstrous villain, Vecna, the creature looming in the background
of this poster.
There’s some definite Stephen King vibes going on in both this image and the storyline
of Stranger Things 4, then, and Vecna’s disfigured face is giving us Freddy Krueger
flashbacks.
Which is pretty fitting, in fact, as Freddy himself Robert Englund has a role this year,
playing Victor Creel, the insane asylum inmate at the center of the Creel house mystery.
I’ve seen some criticism online that this poster is underwhelming compared to the past
three seasons and their final posters, mostly due to the lack of symmetry and some of the
characters looking a bit funny.
While I still feel that the poster for season 3 was better, this poster is still great and
establishes the tone as being darker and grittier than previous seasons.
I find it very interesting that only Argyle and Eddie are the new characters being featured
on this poster, but it makes sense because they got their own character posters.
Jamie Campbell Bower is nowhere to be seen though, and that has me curious to see if
“Peter Ballard” has a bigger role than we think.
Here’s hoping that season 4 doesn’t disappoint.
Overall, very exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today.
What did you think about this final poster for Stranger Things 4?
