The Upside Down is a place no one can ignore and, for the Hawkins gang, it is practically their second home. Stranger Things has been the go-to for all things eerie and supernatural, blurring the lines between the ordinary and the extraordinary. And with the cast and crew pushing hard to wrap up the story in a jaw-dropping finale, the hype for the last season is through the roof. Although the wait is not quite over yet, with Halloween creeping closer, the Duffer Brothers have cooked up something special with a movie screening of the four films that inspired Stranger Things.

So, for those looking to make Halloween week extra spooky and totally Stranger Things-coded, here is everything to know. 

Netflix recently dropped the news about a killer Halloween event, Netflix & Chills. This month, they are throwing a special screening to celebrate Stranger Things fans where viewers will be treated to four films that inspired the series—Ghostbusters, The Thing, The Shining, and Poltergeist—all handpicked by the Duffer Brothers. The event will go down at the Egyptian Theatre in Los Angeles, starting October 15 and fans can snag their tickets on the Egyptian Theatre website.

On October 15, Ghostbusters and The Thing will haunt the screen at 1:00 PM and 7:30 PM, and at 4:00 PM and 10:00 PM, respectively. The terror continues on October 16 with The Shining and Poltergeist at the same eerie times. But the real fright fest happens on Halloween night, October 31, with a special fan event that ends with a scream-worthy screening of Stranger Things' season 2 Halloween episode.

For Stranger Things fans, the festive season has arrived early, but the real thrills are just around the corner as Halloween week promises even more to look forward to!

If fans thought Netflix was just treating them to Stranger Things season 2 Trick or Treat, Freak episode on October 31, they are in for a chilling surprise. With spooky season lurking just around, the show is conjuring up exclusive Stranger Things Squishmallows, creeping into Walmart this November. There are photo ops, treats, free giveaways, and even more chances to immerse in the strange and spooky world of Hawkins.

Though Stranger Things has long upped the ante with not just its mind-bending storylines but also its immersive, fan-centered experiences, this spooky event is sure to send early Halloween chills down their spines. While it is unclear if any of the cast will make a ghostly appearance, fans can still dive into the world of Hawkins and get their first dose of spine-tingling thrills before season 5 creeps onto the scene.
