The road leading to Netflix’s Stranger Things’ fifth and final installment is still stuck with forks of waiting hours. While fast-pacing the clock may not favor the fans awaiting Papa Modine’s favorite lab rat to take the Dark Lord head-on, resetting it might do the magic trick. Vecna might trap minds in the Upside Down, but Netflix has a far safer plan to pull fans into the world of Stranger Things.
To celebrate Stranger Things Day on November 6, they have the chance for a binge marathon every season—perfect for a refresher or to get pumped up for Eleven and her crew’s last round of Upside Down adventures.
Breakfast with your very own Eggo monsters before Stranger Things Happen
If binge-watching is already crossed off your list, the next best move is to wait for the Duffer Brothers to drop another marble while hanging tight for the highly anticipated Stranger Things update. But empty stomachs do not win battles!
So, whip up an Eleven-approved breakfast, complete with your gang of Eggo-loving creatures. Although it might not teleport the fans to the Upside Down, at least they will get a taste of it or be close enough.
Counter the post-Halloween blues with a Stranger Things cosplay night
Halloween may be over, but the festivities do not have to stop so soon. After completing the Eggo breakfasts with friends, the Upside Down enthusiasts can kill two birds with a stone by slipping right into the world of Stranger Things with a cosplay night while keeping the Halloween decorations still hanging.
As for the brave souls who chose Upside Down inspirations for the Fright Night this time, congratulations because you just got a chance to relive the 70s and score the peak repurpose win.
Host Dungeons & Dragons night with Eggo monsters
There may be a few who may have issued a return on the costumes and pulled the eerie decors of the walls. But if Stranger Things has taught anything, it is that teamwork can fend off even the nastiest forces, so who cares about decor and costume? Get those Eggo-loving monsters on speed dial and invite them for Dungeons & Dragons game night.
A marathon watch can surely teleport fans into the Upside Down, but the Dragons & Dungeons party could be the ultimate warm-up to welcome Stranger Things in season 5.
