_ Stranger Things It is a series that takes a lot of inspiration from the culture of the 80 Gang has a couple of events inspired by events that did terrorize the United States at the time.
As you surely know, Dungoons and Dragons is a fundamental part of the series. From the first season, some of these elements have been used to effectively explain to the creatures of the Upside Down. However, during the fourth season you can see the paranoia and satanization that was associated with this board game.
In 1979, James Dalles Edbert III disappeared and eventually found his lifeless body. At the time, the parents of this young man blamed Dungoons & Dragons, although it was later discovered that Edbert III suffered from depression. However, it was the suicide of Irving Pulling that shocked the United States. After her son's loss, Patricia Pulling created Bothered About Dungoons and Dragons (BADD), Organization that focused on pointing out the damage that this board game, supposedly, caused in young people . Along with this, in this country this experience began to be associated as something satanic.
Does it sound like them? Jason, one of stranger Things, uses Dungoons & Dragons and his relationship that was being given with Satanism , in order to find Eddie, who is accused of Chrissy's death. Throughout the fourth season we can see several cases where the community associates this board game with some of the sad events that have happened in Hawkins.
This is not the only inspiration in the real world. Recall that the fourth season of Stranger Things_ presents us with the mystery of a family that was killed by an evil spirit , in this case, neighbor. At this point, the main inspiration was the case of Amityville.
For those who have not seen the movies, or do not know the story, Amyville was the home of a family that was supposedly terrified by an evil spirit. In 1974, George's family and Kathleen Lutz moved to this house, where, 13 months before, Ronald Defo Jr. murdered his family after hearing several voices.
The Lutz family reported to see a green substance to run along the walls, they constantly felt strange presences, there were penetrating odors and noises impossible to track. Eventually, this house was abandoned . Do you remember the Creel? It's not a surprise.
Considering that there is still a full season of stranger Things, It is likely that these are not the only real cases that are the source of inspiration for some of the stories of the series . In related issues, the neighborhood actor talks about the creation of this character. Similarly, the following chapters of stranger Things will have a weekly premiere?
Editor's note:
It is clear that the creators of stranger Things take many elements of real life for their stories. The interesting thing is to see how they use them and how they deconstruct them. In this sense, the first and fourth season do a fantastic work in this section, while the other two leave much to be desired.
