“Unlocking the Upside Down: 10 Bizarre Secrets About Stranger Things That Will Change Your Perspective Forever!”
The Thought Behind The Font
The “Stranger Things” font is the same one used on the Dungeons & Dragons Player’s Handbook from the late ’80s.

Lookin’ Sharp
The Hawkins Police Department vehicles and uniforms are the exact same as the ones used in Jaws and Jaws 2. Hopper’s tan uniform, Amity Island triangle shaped patch, and beige SUV were all worn or used by Police Chief Martin Brody in Jaws.
Also, the blue uniforms and trooper/sheriff style hats match the Amity Island Police uniforms from the Jaws films.
Back To Her Roots
Winona Ryder, who plays Joyce Byers on Stranger Things, was born in 1971. Season one of the show mainly takes place in 1983, and season two begins on the day before her 13th birthday.
That means that Ryder was roughly the same age in real life as all of the young main child characters in the show when the series takes place.
Their Love Started On Set
Natalia Dyer, who plays Nancy, and Charlie Heaton, who plays Jonathan, are dating in real life, as of October 2017. When their characters finally got together on screen, Charlie and Natalia had excellent chemistry.
