You’ve heard of Stranger Things, but you might be a little hesitant to watch them. While you might like the idea of a supernatural world, the truth is that these films are hardly atypical. For starters, director John Hughes is known for his ’80s high school dramedies like Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Ferris Bueller. These films take steadfast teenage stereotypes and turn them into memorable movie magic. You might recognize some of the characters from Hawkins.
Jaws
Fans of the popular Netflix series have pointed out a similarity between Stranger Things and Jaws. One thing that stands out is the red door in the series, which evokes the classic horror movie. Another is that the series’ house number is a near duplicate of the movie’s 1428. A nod to the popular franchise is also evident: Dustin refers to a shark in Jaws as “Chrissie” (which evokes the character Martin Brody).
One of the most popular horror movies of all time, Jaws is a close cousin of Stranger Things, but there are plenty of differences. Both movies are based on Stephen King’s classic novel. Both have plenty of creepy moments and have some similarities. If you’re a fan of Jaws and Stranger Things, you may also enjoy the 1978 thriller The Fury, directed by Brian De Palma.
The Goonies
If you’re looking for some great childhood memories, The Goonies may be just what you need. This zany film features a group of misfits who head off on an adventure in search of a legendary pirate’s long-lost treasure. It’s action-packed, funny, and very heartwarming. And, if you liked the original, you’ll probably enjoy the new Stranger Things movie.
The premise of Stranger Things is reminiscent of classic films from the ’80s. It’s set in the 1980s, and the show makes frequent references to classic ’70s and ’80s movies. The show’s creators, Matt Duffer and Ross Duff, have cited Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, and Stephen King as influences. For fans of these classics, there’s no shortage of movie references to enjoy.
The Monster Squad
A sequel to Stranger Things would be interesting, but the question is, can a TV show deliver the same kind of emotional punch as the original? If it succeeds, it would fill a void in the YA horror genre. After all, it’s a genre where a good movie can go above and beyond the book. The Monster Squad is like a mix between the classic horror movies of the 80s and the modern horror genre.
If you’ve seen the Netflix series “Stranger Things,” then chances are you’ve seen The Monster Squad, a black horror comedy from 1987 about a group of suburban kids obsessed with Universal monster movies. The film starred a werewolf, mummy, and Frankenstein’s monster, and featured a gill man who switches sides to save humanity. The movie was also made before Joss Whedon changed the face of science fiction. It’s ahead of its time, featuring SFX and likable characters. If you liked the show, this is definitely a must-see.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Steven Spielberg’s 1977 film Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a sci-fi classic. Starring Richard Dreyfuss, Melinda Dillon, Teri Garr, Bob Balaban, and Cary Guffey, it tells the story of an average blue-collar worker in Indiana who witnesses a close encounter with a UFO. Neary’s encounter is not the only one to spark his interest in the field and he becomes the emissary of humanity.
The title of Close Encounters of the Third Kind comes from the field of UFOlogy, where a human observer of a spacecraft may encounter an alien being. In this movie, a character named Roy is abducted by aliens who communicate with him through music tones. The film is a surprisingly moving film, but it is still terrifying at times. Music and lighting play an important role in how scary a film is. The characters in the movie exhibit both perseverance and humility.
The Fear Street trilogy
The Fear Street trilogy is a Netflix horror sensation that shares a nostalgic tone with Stranger Things. Set in the past, the trilogy follows a group of teens who are plagued by a mysterious evil that has been affecting their neighborhood. The story revolves around the evil and mischief of the local teens, including a mysterious telekinetic girl and a secret government conspiracy. The Fear Street series is a must-watch for fans of the Stranger Things series.
The Fear Street series is a three-part movie series based on the books written by R.L. Stine. The films follow a gang of high school outsiders who must overcome the curse that has haunted Shadyside. Each film is tied to a different time period and features plenty of blood and guts. The films also feature teen romance and some hair-raising needle drops.
Summer of 84
It has been a while since a film like Summer of ’84 was released, and it’s certainly not a surprise given the film’s popularity. Based in the 1980s, it centers on a group of teenage boys who suspect their neighborhood police officer of murder. But this time, the mystery is much more realistic than the original, and you might be surprised to learn that this film was created by three directors.
One of the reasons that Summer of ’84 was so successful at the Sundance Film Festival is the fact that it embodies the 80s’ teen adventure genre in a new way, and yet, it feels like a remake of an already-popular movie. The film’s screenwriters, Matt Leslie and Stephen J. Smith, did a fantastic job of capturing the essence of the ’80s teen adventure while subverting key genre expectations. The ’80s-set film also has a ‘burbs-style aesthetic, which works well in this movie.
