From the vibrant colors of the cabinet screens at the local arcade to the hazy depths of the Upside Down, the production design of Stranger Things is a character all its own. In a new video from Netflix, the cast and crew discuss the research, attention to detail, and hard work that goes into creating a set that transports its actors back to the mid-’80s.

"1984. Hawkins, Indiana. The Upside Down. The Tunnels. All of these elements come to life to create the world of Stranger Things 2. From arcade design to the tunnel design, from the perfect spiky baseball bat to the three muskateers candy wrappers. Every detail of the show is meticulously crafted by a creative team behind the camera. Step inside to meet the minds that create the physical world of Stranger Things and hear from the cast and creators who adore them."

Stranger Things will return for a third season, likely in 2019. Check here for the latest casting update on the new season, and stay tuned to Daily Dead for more updates.
