Authentic in the 80s

The Duffers whole intention for Stranger Things was that it would look and feel like a nostalgic 80s show. When it came to filming, they wanted to capture this look as much as possible and include grainy footage from real 80s movies.

This grainy look was applied to each episode after being captured digitally and applied in post-production. The Duffers also wanted to use old school effects including puppetry and practical effects, using as little CGI as possible.
