Sealed 2016 2LP Gatefold Original. From The Moment The Glowing Title Card Of Netflix's "Stranger Things" Drifts Across The Screen, The Undulating Synth Arpeggios Of The Opening Theme Make It Clear That The Show's Music Will Play A Key Role In Scene-Setting. Created By Twins Matt And Ross Duffer, Who Landed A Spec Script For Their First Feature Film Just Months After Graduating From Chapman University In 2011, "Stranger Things" Has Been Most Commonly Referenced As An Homage To '80s Classics Such As "E.T." And "Poltergeist." Similarly, The Soundtrack Has Drawn Comparisons To Film Composers From That Era, Including John Carpenter And George Romero Co-Conspirator John Harrison.
