Stranger Things 4 TV costumes on display...

The fourth epic season of the Duffer Brothers nostalgic sci-fi-horror series, Stranger Things, is set in 1986 and sees our heroes from Hawkins split between different missions to combat new threats from the Upside Down and their past. Caleb McLaughlin's 'Lucas Sinclair' may have joined the popular kids on the basketball team, but there's new murders being committed in the fictional Indiana town and people are pointing fingers at the local outcast leader of the Hellfire Club (a Dungeons & Dragons group that includes 'Dustin Henderson' and his friends), the heavy metal-loving 'Eddie Munson' (Joseph Quinn). Meanwhile Natalie Dyer's 'Nancy Wheeler' uses her journalistic skills to investigate the recent killings that may unlock the mystery of the new monstrous villain, 'Vecna'.

In 2016 the Duffer Brothers tapped into audiences fondness and nostalgia for the 80s with a sci-fi horror TV series that was a mashup of Steven Spielberg and Stephen King tropes, with a single mother, local sheriff and some plucky kids embarking an an adventure to rescue a missing son and friend, pitted against sinister supernatural forces and aided by a mysterious experiment. To say the original Netflix series has been a hit is an understatement, with season two arriving this Halloween.
