Back in 2016, we were introduced to the town of Hawkins, Indiana where we met a group of teenagers. And, it has never been the same since then. Brace yourselves, as Halloween is coming to Hawkins this fall with a new monster to terrorize Will, Mike, Dustin and Lucas.
Netflix's Stranger Things which was created by the Duffer Brothers was released back in 2016. It starred David Harbour, Winona Ryder, Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Millie Bobby Brown, Noah Schnapp, Calen McLaughlin, Charlie Heaton, Natalia Dyer and Joe Keery. Stranger Things received critical acclaim upon it's release. A shoe revolving around a small fictional town of Hawkins, things get upside down (Pun Intended) when a kid goes missing.
Stranger Things' massive popularity can be attributed to it's engrossing plotline, flawless characterization, a near-perfect homage to the pop-culture of the 80s, and for it's atmosphere which felt like it came straight out of a Stephen King novel. With record-breaking viewership, Stranger Things is undoubtedly one of the best TV series to bless our eyes.
In September 2019, the upcoming fourth season of Stranger Things was announced. Production was started back in February 2020 but unfortunately it was halted due to the COVID-19 crisis. As the pandemic has brought the production to a screeching halt, the release date of the next season is still unknown.
It might be a long wait for the fans of Stranger Things before they get to visit the town of Hawkins again. But thankfully, Dark Horse Comics has planned to release a one-shot special titled Stranger Things Halloween Special One-Shot. Releasing on October 21st, just a day before Halloween, the story will revolve around the notorious four, that is, Will Byers, Lucas Sinclair, Mike Wheeler and Dustin Henderson. As per the the official description released by Dark Horse Comics, the story will be:
"The Special will take place on Halloween night in Hawkins where Will, Mike, Lucas and Dustin gather in Castle Byers to eat candy and scare each other with spooky stories. Little do they know, they'll reveal the quaint town's deepest kept secret– The Child Eater Of Hawkins."
With no further description available, fans can only speculate whether the aforementioned Child-Eater is a real monster who fled from the secret laboratory or a criminal who hunts down children. But rest assured, it should be a good trip down the lane to the 80s nostalgia, classic Halloween trick-or-treat stories and some hilarious adventures from the notorious four.
The one-shot special from Dark Horse Comics will be written by Michael Moreci (Star Wars, Wasted Space), drawn by artist Todor Hristov (The Forever Maps, Soul Trader), coloured by colourist Chris O'Halloran (Immortal Hulk, Ice Cream Man), and letterer Nate Piekos.
The 3 Seasons of Stranger Things is currently streaming in Netflix.
