This is the movie the Hawkins quartet sneaks into the Starcourt Mall theater to watch. Just as the climax scene of zombie arms bursting through the wall plays on screen, Will feels a strange sensation. When the film resumes after stopping due to a projection malfunction, the audience cheers and throws popcorn—a scene that captures the romance of the theater experience. <Stranger Things> is filled with the greatest masterpieces that captivated the 1980s, but only two films are shown on the theater screen: <Day of the Dead> and <Back to the Future>. Of all the films that could play in Starcourt, the Duffers chose Romero's bleakest zombie movie. That's not accident.
