When the fourth season of Stranger Things came out, it brought with it some incredible moments and formidable foes. Its stellar rating suggested that it had matched the Netflix series’ previous installments with perfection. Besides all the character development, it also introduced many new characters, like Eddie Munson and Argyle. Among them, the terror-inducing villain Vecna was undoubtedly the highlight. After all, the scariest scenes from the show would eventually lead to the best moments.

Now fans are eager to see if the upcoming season of the mystery thriller can parallel the previous season’s success. And the most important question of all is whether it will be just as harrowingly horror-filled as before.

How will Season 5 of Stranger Things be portrayed?

In the Upside Down world, Millie Bobby Brown’s character Eleven is met with constant eerie challenges. As the show went on, the spine-chilling cinematography only got more prominent. Now, Dan Trachtenberg, who is renowned for creating amazing horror-themed work like the sci-fi flick 10 Cloverfield Lane, has been confirmed as the director for one episode. This means that the scary theme might carry on!

After Trachtenberg passionately debated the show’s similarity to another blockbuster, Stranger Things fanatics were relieved that the director had absorbed the gist of the show aptly. Under his guidance, the series may just retain the original themes fans have come to love so much.

But, the horror theme is not the only thing that Trachtenberg will not waver from. Earlier, he promised to also include another aspect from the previous season in the upcoming one.

Fans can expect to rock out with season 5

It is safe to say that Dan Trachtenberg has done his research in preparation for directing his episode. The director even noted that as much as its gripping sequences, fans love the soundtracks that accompany the scenes. Keeping this in mind, the director declared that the upcoming season will include the “rock & roll vibe throughout the entire” next season!

With how much consideration Trachtenberg has put into what the Stranger Things fans want, one can assume that the upcoming season is going to be as loved as the previous ones. Considering that it will also be the last, fans are sincerely hoping so!

Do you think that the entire final season of Stranger Things will flaunt a horror theme? Or do you reckon it may be restricted to only Dan Trachtenberg’s episode? Share your thoughts in the comments.
