Facts About Stranger Things
Christmas lights were used to find the monster
In the original script, Nancy, Jonathan and Steve used the christmas lights to find the monster. However, when one of the writers came up with the idea of Joyce using them to communicate with Will instead, everyone loved it and it left an element of confusion.
The writers said “Seeing Winona react with joy, then terror, then hope to a glowing ball of Christmas lights is now one of our favorite scenes from the show.”
