The series was created by the Duffer Brothers, who also serve as executive producers along with Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen. This season stars Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, Charlie Heaton, Cara Buono, and Matthew Modine, with Noah Schnapp, Joe Keery, and Shannon Purser in recurring roles. The first season of Stranger Things received critical acclaim, in particular for its originality, homages to the 1980s, characterization, tone, visuals, and performances (particularly those of Ryder, Harbour, Wolfhard, Brown, Heaton and Modine). Premise The first season begins on November 6, 1983, in a small town called Hawkins. Researchers at Hawkins National Laboratory open a rift to the "Upside Down," an alternate dimension that reflects the real world. A monstrous humanoid creature escapes and abducts a boy named Will Byers and a teenage girl. Will's mother, Joyce, and the town's police chief, Jim Hopper, search for Will. At the same time, a young psychokinetic girl who goes by the name "Eleven" escapes from the laboratory and assists Will's friends, Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, and Lucas Sinclair, in their efforts to find Will.[1] Cast and characters See also: List of Stranger Things characters Main cast Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers[2] David Harbour as Jim Hopper[2] Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler[3] Millie Bobby Brown[3] as Eleven ("El") Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson[3] Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair[3] Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler[3] Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers[3][4][5] Cara Buono as Karen Wheeler[6] Matthew Modine as Martin Brenner[7] Recurring Noah Schnapp as Will Byers Joe Keery as Steve Harrington Shannon Purser as Barbara "Barb" Holland[8] Joe Chrest as Ted Wheeler Ross Partridge as Lonnie Byers[9] Rob Morgan as Officer Powell John Paul Reynolds as Officer Callahan Randy Havens as Scott Clarke Catherine Dyer as Connie Frazier Aimee Mullins as Terry Ives[10] Amy Seimetz as Becky Ives Peyton Wich as Troy[11] Tony Vaughn as Principal Coleman Charles Lawlor as Mr. Melvald Tinsley and Anniston Price as Holly Wheeler Cade Jones as James Chester Rushing as Tommy H.

The following day, Will's single mother Joyce Byers reports his disappearance to the police chief Jim Hopper, who starts a search but assures Joyce that almost all missing children are quickly found. The lab's director, Dr. Martin Brenner, investigates an organic substance oozing from the lab's basement, claiming that "the girl" cannot have gone far. A nervous young girl wearing a hospital gown wanders into a local diner. The owner, Benny, finds a tattoo of "011" on her arm and learns that her name is Eleven. Brenner, monitoring the phone lines, sends agents to the diner after Benny calls social services. The agents kill Benny, but Eleven manages to escape using telekinetic abilities. Joyce's phone short circuits after receiving a mysterious phone call that she believes is from Will. While searching for Will in the woods, Mike, Dustin, and Lucas come across Eleven. 2 2 "Chapter Two: The Weirdo on Maple Street" The Duffer Brothers The Duffer Brothers July 15, 2016 The boys bring Eleven to Mike's house, where they disagree on what to do. Mike formulates a plan for Eleven to pretend to be a runaway and seek help from his mother, Karen. Eleven refuses, however, revealing that "bad men" are after her. Will's brother Jonathan visits his estranged father Lonnie in Indianapolis to search for Will, but Lonnie rebuffs him. Hopper's search party discovers a scrap of hospital gown near the lab. After recognizing Will in a photograph and demonstrating her telekinesis, Eleven convinces the boys to trust her, as they believe she can find Will. Using the Dungeons & Dragons board, Eleven indicates that Will is on the "Upside Down" side of the board and is being hunted by the "Demogorgon" (the creature). Mike's sister Nancy and her friend Barbara 'Barb' Holland go to a party with Nancy's boyfriend Steve Harrington. Searching for Will near Steve's house, Jonathan secretly photographs the party. Joyce receives another call from Will, hears music playing from his stereo, and sees a creature coming through the wall. Left alone by the swimming pool, Barb is attacked by the Demogorgon and vanishes. 3 3 "Chapter Three: Holly, Jolly" Shawn Levy Jessica Mecklenburg July 15, 2016 Barb awakens in the Upside Down: a decaying, overgrown alternate dimension. She attempts to escape but is attacked by the Demogorgon. Joyce believes Will is communicating through pulses in light bulbs. Hopper visits Hawkins Lab, and the staff permits him to view doctored security footage from the night Will vanished, leading Hopper to investigate Brenner and discover his involvement with Project MKUltra and that a woman named Terry Ives alleged years earlier that Brenner took her daughter. Eleven recalls Brenner, whom she calls "Papa," punishing her for refusing to hurt a cat telekinetically. Steve destroys Jonathan's camera after discovering the photos from the party. Nancy later recovers a photo of Barb, simultaneously realizing that Barb is missing. Returning to Steve's house to investigate, Nancy finds Barb's untouched Volkswagen and encounters the Demogorgon but manages to escape. Joyce paints an alphabetic board on her wall with Christmas lights, allowing Will to sign to her that he is "RIGHT HERE" and that she needs to "RUN" as the Demogorgon comes through the wall. Believing Eleven knows where Will is, the boys ask her to lead them to him. Eleven leads them, to their frustration, to Will's house. From there they follow emergency vehicles to a nearby quarry just as Will's body is recovered from the water. 4 4 "Chapter Four: The Body" Shawn Levy Justin Doble July 15, 2016 Joyce refuses to believe that the body found at the quarry is Will's. Mike feels betrayed by Eleven until she proves that Will is still alive, channeling his voice through Mike's walkie-talkie. The boys theorize that Eleven could use a ham radio at their school to communicate with Will. Nancy notices a figure behind Barb in Jonathan's photo, which Jonathan realizes matches his mother's description of the Demogorgon. Nancy tells the police about Barb's disappearance. She later fights with Steve, who only cares about not getting in trouble with his father. Hopper has suspicions regarding the authenticity of the body found in the quarry when he learns that the usual coroner was sent home. Hopper confronts the state trooper who found it and beats him until he admits he was ordered to lie. The boys sneak Eleven into their school to use the radio, while Joyce hears Will's voice through her living room wall. Tearing away the wallpaper, she sees him. Eleven uses the radio to channel Will talking to his mother. Hopper goes to the morgue and finds that the body is a fake, and, suspecting that Brenner is responsible, breaks into the lab. 5 5 "Chapter Five: The Flea and the Acrobat" The Duffer Brothers Alison Tatlock July 15, 2016 Hopper searches the lab before being knocked out by the lab's guards. The boys ask their science teacher, Mr. Clarke, if it would be possible to travel between alternate dimensions, to which he answers that there could be a theoretical "gate" between dimensions. Hopper awakens at his house and finds a hidden microphone, realizing that Joyce was right the whole time. The boys follow their compasses, searching for a gate that could disrupt the Earth's electromagnetic field. Eleven recalls memories of being placed in a sensory-deprivation tank to telepathically eavesdrop on a man speaking Russian; while listening, she came across the Demogorgon. Fearing another encounter with the Demogorgon, Eleven redirects the compasses. Lucas misinterprets this as an act of betrayal, leading Mike and Lucas to fight and Eleven to telekinetically fling Lucas away from Mike. While Dustin and Mike tend to the unconscious Lucas, Eleven runs off. Nancy and Jonathan formulate a plan to kill the Demogorgon. While searching in the woods, they come across a small gate to the Upside Down. Nancy crawls through it but inadvertently draws the Demogorgon's attention. Jonathan unsuccessfully tries to look for Nancy, as the gate to the Upside Down begins to close. 6 6 "Chapter Six: The Monster" The Duffer Brothers Jessie Nickson-Lopez July 15, 2016 Jonathan pulls Nancy back through the gate. That night, Nancy is afraid to be alone and asks Jonathan to stay in her bedroom. Steve, attempting to reconcile with Nancy, sees them together through her bedroom window and assumes they are dating. Joyce and Hopper track down Terry Ives, who is catatonic and tended by her sister Becky. Becky explains that Terry was a Project MKUltra participant while unknowingly pregnant and that Terry believes Brenner kidnapped her daughter Jane at birth due to her supposed telekinetic and telepathic abilities. Nancy and Jonathan stockpile weapons to kill the Demogorgon, theorizing that it is attracted by blood. Steve is brutally beaten up in a fistfight with Jonathan after he insults Will and calls Nancy a slut. Jonathan is arrested and held at the police station for beating up Steve and inadvertently punching one of the responding officers in the face. Eleven walks into a grocery store and shoplifts several boxes of Eggo waffles. Searching for Eleven, Mike and Dustin are ambushed by two bullies but are rescued by her, as she uses her powers to break one bully's arm after he attempts to kill Mike. Eleven collapses and recalls being asked by Brenner to contact the Demogorgon and, in her terror, inadvertently opening the gate. She tearfully admits to Mike that she is responsible for allowing the Demogorgon to enter this dimension. Lucas sees agents, who have tracked down Eleven, preparing to ambush Mike's house. 7 7 "Chapter Seven: The Bathtub" The Duffer Brothers Justin Doble July 15, 2016 Lucas warns Mike that agents are searching for Eleven. Mike, Dustin, and Eleven flee the house. Eleven telekinetically flips one of the vans that block their path as the kids escape. Lucas reconciles with Mike and Eleven, and the kids hide in the junkyard. Nancy and Jonathan reveal their knowledge of the Demogorgon to Joyce and Hopper. Hopper also learns that Eleven is with the kids. The group contacts the kids, and everyone meets at the Byers' house. Joyce and Hopper realize that Eleven is Jane Ives. The group asks Eleven to search for Will and Barb telepathically, but her earlier feats have weakened her. They break into the middle school and build a makeshift sensory deprivation tank to amplify Eleven's powers. After telepathically entering the Upside Down again, Eleven finds Barb dead and Will alive, hiding in the Upside Down version of his backyard fort. Realizing that the gate is in the basement of the lab, Hopper and Joyce break into the lab and are apprehended by security guards. Nancy and Jonathan sneak into the police station to retrieve the weapons they purchased previously, planning to lure and kill the Demogorgon. In the Upside Down, the Demogorgon breaks into Will's fort. 8 8 "Chapter Eight: The Upside Down" The Duffer Brothers Story by : Paul Dichter Teleplay by : The Duffer Brothers July 15, 2016 Hopper, haunted by the death of his daughter Sara from cancer years earlier, gives up Eleven's location to Brenner, who in exchange allows Hopper and Joyce to enter the Upside Down to rescue Will. Nancy and Jonathan cut their hands to attract the Demogorgon at the Byers' house. Steve, intending to apologize to Jonathan about their fight, arrives just as the Demogorgon appears. Steve, Nancy, and Jonathan fight the Demogorgon and light it on fire, forcing it to retreat to the Upside Down. Meanwhile, Eleven and the boys hide in the middle school when Brenner and his agents arrive to kidnap Eleven; she kills most of them before collapsing from exhaustion. As Brenner and his remaining agents pin Eleven and the boys down, the Demogorgon appears, attracted by the dead agents' blood, and attacks Brenner and the remaining agents as the boys escape with Eleven. Hopper and Joyce enter the Upside Down's version of the Hawkins library, where they encounter several corpses of the Demogorgon's victims, including Barb, and find Will unconscious with a tendril down his throat. Hopper revives him using CPR after removing the tendril. The Demogorgon corners the kids, but Eleven recovers from her exhaustion and disintegrates it, causing them both to disappear. Will recovers in the hospital, reuniting with his family and friends. One month later, it is Christmas and Nancy is back together with Steve, and both are friends with Jonathan. Will coughs up a slug-like creature and has a vision of the Upside Down, but hides this from his family. Production Development Ross (left) and Matt Duffer, the creators of the series Stranger Things was created by Matt and Ross Duffer, known professionally as the Duffer Brothers.[12] The two had completed writing and producing their 2015 film Hidden, which they had tried to emulate the style of M. Night Shyamalan, however, due to changes at Warner Bros., its distributor, the film did not see a wide release and the Duffers were unsure of their future.[13] To their surprise, television producer Donald De Line approached them, impressed with Hidden's script, and offered them the opportunity to work on episodes of Wayward Pines alongside Shyamalan. The brothers were mentored by Shyamalan during the episode's production so that when they finished, they felt they were ready to produce their own television series.[14] The Duffer Brothers prepared a script that would essentially be similar to the series' actual pilot episode, along with a 20-page pitch book to help shop the series around for a network.[15] They pitched the story to a number of cable networks, all of which rejected the script on the basis that they felt a plot centered around children as leading characters would not work, asking them to make it a children's show or to drop the children and focus on Hopper's investigation in the paranormal.[14] In early 2015, Dan Cohen, the VP of 21 Laps Entertainment, brought the script to his colleague Shawn Levy. They subsequently invited The Duffer Brothers to their office and purchased the rights for the series, giving full authorship of it to the brothers. After reading the pilot, the streaming service Netflix purchased the whole season for an undisclosed amount;[16] the show was subsequently announced for a planned 2016 release by Netflix in early April 2015.[17] The Duffer Brothers stated that at the time they had pitched to Netflix, the service had already been recognized for its original programming, such as House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black, with well-recognized producers behind them, and were ready to start giving upcoming producers like them a chance.[15] The brothers started to write out the series and brought Levy and Cohen in as executive producers to start casting and filming.[18] The series was originally known as Montauk, as the setting of the script was in Montauk, New York and nearby Long Beach locations.[17][19] The brothers had chosen Montauk as it had further Spielberg ties with the film Jaws, where Montauk was used for the fictional setting of Amity Island.[20] After deciding to change the narrative of the series to take place in the fictional town of Hawkins instead, the brothers felt they could now do things to the town, such as placing it under quarantine, that they really could not envision with a real location.[20] With the change in location, they had to come up with a new title for the series under the direction from Netflix's Ted Sarandos so that they could start marketing it to the public. The brothers started by using a copy of Stephen King's Firestarter novel to consider the title's font and appearance and came up with a long list of potential alternatives. Stranger Things came about as it sounded similar to another King novel, Needful Things, though Matt noted they still had a "lot of heated arguments" over this final title.[21] Writing The idea of Stranger Things started with how the brothers felt they could take the concept of the 2013 film Prisoners, detailing the moral struggles a father goes through when his daughter is kidnapped, and expand it out over eight or so hours in a serialized television approach. As they focused on the missing child aspect of the story, they wanted to introduce the idea of "childlike sensibilities" they could offer and toyed around with the idea of a monster that could consume humans. The brothers thought the combination of these things "was the best thing ever". To introduce this monster into the narrative, they considered "bizarre experiments we had read about taking place in the Cold War" such as Project MKUltra, which gave a way to ground the monster's existence in science rather than something spiritual. This also helped them to decide on using 1983 as the time period, as it was a year before the film Red Dawn came out, which focused on Cold War paranoia.[14] Subsequently, they were able to use all their own personal inspirations from the 1980s, the decade they were born, as elements of the series,[14][22] crafting it in the realm of science fiction and horror.[23] The Duffer Brothers have cited as influence for the show (among others): Stephen King novels; films produced by Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, Wes Craven, Robert Zemeckis, George Lucas and Guillermo del Toro; films such as Alien and Stand by Me; Japanese anime such as Akira and Elfen Lied; and video games such as Silent Hill and The Last of Us.[21][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] With Netflix as the platform, The Duffer Brothers were not limited to a typical 22-episode format, opting for the eight-episode approach. They had been concerned that a 22-episode season on broadcast television would be difficult to "tell a cinematic story" with that many episodes. Eight episodes allowed them to give time to characterization in addition to narrative development; if they had less time available, they would have had to remain committed to telling a horror film as soon as the monster was introduced and abandon the characterization.[15] Within the eight episodes, the brothers aimed to make the first season "feel like a big movie" with all the major plot lines completed so that "the audience feels satisfied", but left enough unresolved to indicate "there's a bigger mythology, and there's a lot of dangling threads at the end", something that could be explored in further seasons if Netflix opted to create more.[32] While explaining their intentions for the show, the Duffers adamantly stated their intentions to not explain the mythology in the show so they could leave a mystery and lot for the audience to speculate over their lack of understanding by the season finale, which they accepted but asked to be explained about at the very least, which they found like a really good exercise as they spent quite a bit of time with their writers' room figuring out exactly what the Upside Down would actually consist for, writing a 20-page mythology document whose details wouldn't be clarified for the audience until the show's fifth and final season.[33] Regarding writing for the children characters of the series, The Duffer Brothers considered themselves as outcasts from other students while in high school and thus found it easy to write for Mike Wheeler and his friends, and particularly for Barbara "Barb" Holland.[21] Joyce Byers was fashioned after Richard Dreyfuss's character Roy Neary in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, as she appears "absolutely bonkers" to everyone else as she tries to find her son Will Byers.[34] Other characters, such as Billy in the second season, have more villainous attributes that are not necessarily obvious from the onset; Matt explained that they took further inspiration from Stephen King for these characters, as King "always has really great human villains" that may be more malicious than the supernatural evil.[35] Casting The Duffers cast David Harbour as Sheriff Hopper believing this was his opportunity to play a lead character in a work. In June 2015, it was announced that Winona Ryder and David Harbour had joined the series as Joyce and as the unnamed chief of police, respectively.[2] The brothers' casting director Carmen Cuba had suggested Ryder for the role of Joyce, which the two were immediately drawn to because of her prominence in 1980s films.[14] Levy believed Ryder could "wretch up the emotional urgency and yet find layers and nuance and different sides of [Joyce]". Ryder praised that the show's multiple storylines required her to act for Joyce as "she's out of her mind, but she's actually kind of onto something", and that the producers had faith she could pull off the difficult role.[36] Upon being offered the role, Ryder felt intrigued at being given the pilot's script due to know knowing what streaming was and finding it "terrifying", with her sole condition to the Duffers for accepting the role being that, if a Beetlejuice sequel ever materialized as she and Tim Burton had been discussing since 2000, they had to let her take a break to shoot it, a condition the Duffers agreed and ultimately proved to work out when Beetlejuice Beetlejuice was greenlighted years later.[37] The Duffer Brothers had been interested in Harbour before, who until Stranger Things primarily had smaller roles as villainous characters, and they felt that he had been "waiting too long for this opportunity" to play a lead, while Harbour himself was thrilled by the script and the chance to play "a broken, flawed, anti-hero character".[21][38] Additional casting followed two months later with Finn Wolfhard as Mike, Millie Bobby Brown in an undisclosed role, Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson, Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair, Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler, and Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers]].[3] In September 2015, Cara Buono joined the cast as Karen Wheeler,[6] followed by Matthew Modine as Martin Brenner a month later.[7] Additional cast who recur for the first season include Noah Schnapp as Will,[3][5] Shannon Purser as Barbara "Barb" Holland,[8] Joe Keery as Steve Harrington,[39][5] and Ross Partridge as Lonnie Byers,[9] among others. Actors auditioning for the children's roles read lines from Stand By Me.[14] The Duffer Brothers estimated they went through about a thousand different child actors for the roles. They noted that Wolfhard was already "a movie buff" of the films from the 1980s period and easily filled the role, while they found Matarazzo's audition to be much more authentic than most of the other audition tapes, and selected him after a single viewing of his audition tape.[15] As casting was started immediately after Netflix greenlit the show, and prior to the scripts being fully completed, this allowed some of the actors' takes on the roles to reflect into the script. The casting of the young actors for Will and his friends had been done just after the first script was completed, and subsequent scripts incorporated aspects from these actors.[32] The brothers said Modine provided significant input on the character of Dr. Brenner, whom they had not really fleshed out before as they considered him the hardest character to write for given his limited appearances within the narrative.[34] Filming The brothers had desired to film the series around the Long Island area to match the initial Montauk concept. However, with filming scheduled to take place in November 2015, it was difficult to shoot in Long Island in the cold weather, and the production started scouting locations in and around the Atlanta, Georgia area. The brothers, who grew up in North Carolina, found many places that reminded them of their own childhoods in that area, and felt the area would work well with the narrative shift to the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana.[20] The filming of the first season began on September 25, 2015, and was extensively done in Atlanta, Georgia, with The Duffer Brothers and Levy handling the direction of individual episodes.[40] Jackson served as the basis of the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana.[41][42] Other shooting locations included the Georgia Mental Health Institute as the Hawkins National Laboratory site, Bellwood Quarry, Patrick Henry High School in Stockbridge, Georgia, for the middle and high school scenes,[43] Emory University's Continuing Education Department, the former city hall in Douglasville, Georgia, Georgia International Horse Park, the probate court in Butts County, Georgia, Old East Point Library and East Point First Baptist Church in East Point, Georgia, Fayetteville, Georgia, Stone Mountain Park, Palmetto, Georgia, and Winston, Georgia.[44] Set work was done at Screen Gem Studios in Atlanta.[44] The series was filmed with a Red Dragon digital camera.[34] Filming for the first season concluded in early 2016.[41] While filming, the brothers tried to capture shots that could be seen as homages to many of the 1980s references they recalled. Their goal was not necessarily to fill the work with these references, but instead to make the series seem to the viewer like a 1980s film.[21] They spent little time reviewing those works and instead went by memory. Matt further recognized that some of their filming homages were not purposely done but were found to be very comparable, as highlighted by a fan-made video comparing the show to several 1980s works side by side.[14][45] Matt commented on the video that "Some were deliberate and some were subconscious."[14] The brothers recognized that many of the iconic scenes from these 1980s films, such as with Poltergeist, was about "taking a very ordinary object that people deal with every day, their television set, and imbuing it with something otherworldly", leading to the idea of using the Christmas light strings for Will to communicate with Joyce.[21] The brothers attributed much of the 1980s feel to set and costume designers and the soundtrack composers that helped to recreate the era for them.[14] Lynda Reiss, the head of props, had about a $220,000 budget, similar to most films, to acquire artifacts of the 1980s, using eBay and searching through flea markets and estate sales around the Atlanta area. The bulk of the props were original items from the 1980s with only a few pieces, such as the Dungeons & Dragons books made as replicas.[46] Visual effects To create the aged effect for the series, a film grain was added over the footage, which was captured by scanning in film stock from the 1980s.[34] The Duffers wanted to scare the audience, but not to necessarily make the show violent or gory, following in line with how the 1980s Amblin Entertainment films drove the creation of the PG-13 movie rating. It was "much more about mood and atmosphere and suspense and dread than they are about gore", though they were not afraid to push into more scary elements, particularly towards the end of the first season.[34] The brothers had wanted to avoid any computer-generated effects for the monster and other parts of the series and stay with practical effects. However, the six-month filming time left them little time to plan out and test practical effects rigs for some of the shots. They went with a middle ground of using constructed props including one for the monster whenever they could, but for other shots, such as when the monster bursts through a wall, they opted to use digital effects. Post-production on the first season was completed the week before it was released on Netflix.[14] The title sequence uses closeups of the letters in the Stranger Things title with a red tint against a black background as they slide into place within the title. The sequence was created by the studio Imaginary Forces, formerly part of R/GA, led by creative director Michelle Doughtey.[47] Levy introduced the studio to The Duffer Brothers, who explained their vision of the 1980s-inspired show, which helped the studio to fix the concept the producers wanted. Later, but prior to filming, the producers sent Imaginary Forces the pilot script, the synth-heavy background music for the titles, as well as the various book covers from King and other authors that they had used to establish the title and imagery, and were looking for a similar approach for the show's titles, primarily using a typographical sequence. They took inspiration from several title sequences of works from the 1980s that were previously designed by Richard Greenberg under R/GA, such as Altered States and The Dead Zone. They also got input from Dan Perri, who worked on the title credits of several 1980s films. Various iterations included having letters vanish, to reflect the "missing" theme of the show, and having letters cast shadows on others, alluding to the mysteries, before settling into the sliding letters. The studio began working on the title sequence before filming and took about a month off during the filming process to let the producers get immersed in the show and come back with more input. Initially, they had been working with various fonts for the title and used close-ups of the best features of these fonts, but near the end the producers wanted to work with ITC Benguiat, requiring them to rework those shots. The final sequence is fully computer-generated, but they took inspiration from testing some practical effects, such as using Kodalith masks as would have been done in the 1980s, to develop the appropriate filters for the rendering software. The individual episode title cards used a "fly-through" approach, similar to the film Bullitt, which the producers had suggested to the studio.[48] Music Main articles: Music of Stranger Things and Stranger Things (soundtrack) The Stranger Things original soundtrack was composed by Michael Stein and Kyle Dixon of the electronic band Survive.[49] It makes extensive use of synthesizers in homage to 1980s artists and film composers including Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Goblin, John Carpenter, Giorgio Moroder, and Fabio Frizzi.[50] According to Stein and Dixon, The Duffer Brothers had been fans of Survive's music, and used their song "Dirge" for the mock trailer that was used to sell the show to Netflix.[49][51] Once the show was green-lit, the Duffers contacted Survive around July 2015 to ask if they were still doing music; the two provided the production team with dozens of songs from their band's past to gain their interest, helping to land them the role.[49] Once aboard, the two worked with producers to select some of their older music to rework for the show, while developing new music, principally with character motifs.[51] The two had been hired before the casting process, so their motif demos were used and played over the actors' audition tapes, aiding in the casting selection.[51][52] The show's theme is based on an unused work Stein composed much earlier that ended up in the library of work they shared with the production staff, who thought that with some reworking would be good for the opening credits.[49] The first season's original soundtrack, consisting of 75 songs from Dixon and Stein split across two volumes, was released by Lakeshore Records. Digital release and streaming options were released on August 10 and 19, 2016 for the two volumes, respectively, while retail versions were available on September 16 and 23, 2016.[53][54] In addition to original music, Stranger Things features period music from artists including The Clash, Toto, New Order, The Bangles, Foreigner, Echo and the Bunnymen, Peter Gabriel and Corey Hart, as well as excerpts from Tangerine Dream, John Carpenter and Vangelis.[54][55] In particular, The Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go" was specifically picked to play at pivotal moments of the story, such as when Will is trying to communicate with Joyce from the Upside Down.[54] Music supervisor Nora Felder felt the song "furthered the story" and called it an additional, unseen, main character of the season.[56]

Kenneth Hopkins feels that he is passionate about truth and honesty in those around him. Sincerity in all people. He also feels that when you look for the truth you're on the closest path to God. Kenneth finds our society has been led astray by both its political and religious leaders. His involvement with the UFO phenomena has led to violations of my rights of privacy. With phone taps, listening devices found in my home, computer attacks that steal my research, mail interception, along with vehicle surveillance, he claims not to find any freedoms in the United States of America. He claims to have been a subject of the CIA's MK Ultra at the Hospital for Children in Boston at the age of 5 years old where he witnesses horrific brutality of other children. Kenneth claims that he writes and speaks the truth, and if this is the case, on tonight's show, he admitted to committing two murders. Kenneth says that often in our search for truth, we miss the target. Kenneth claims that the lies fed to us about the UFO phenomena have hurt many experiencers and abductees from knowing the truth about themselves. His work, and proof, include photographs of ETs (Interdimensional) and numerous saucers. He feels that when videos of these incidents, that he claims to have taken, will help people better understand this phenomena and not disbelieve those of us having these experiences.

Ep 058 – Nonfiction. Historian John Lisle discusses his new book, “Project Mind Control: Sidney Gottlieb, the CIA, and the Tragedy of MKULTRA.”‘The inside story of the CIA's secret mind control project, MKULTRA, using never-before-seen testimony from the perpetrators themselves.Sidney Gottlieb was the CIA's most cunning chemist. As head of the infamous MKULTRA project, he oversaw an assortment of dangerous―even deadly―experiments. Among them: dosing unwitting strangers with mind-bending drugs, torturing mental patients through sensory deprivation, and steering the movements of animals via electrodes implanted into their brains. His goal was to develop methods of mind control that could turn someone into a real-life “Manchurian candidate.”In conjunction with MKULTRA, Gottlieb also plotted the assassination of foreign leaders and created spy gear for undercover agents. The details of his career, however, have long been shrouded in mystery. Upon retiring from the CIA in 1973, he tossed his files into an incinerator. As a result, much of what happened under MKULTRA was thought to be lost―until now.Historian John Lisle has uncovered dozens of depositions containing new information about MKULTRA, straight from the mouths of its perpetrators. For the first time, Gottlieb and his underlings divulge what they did, why they did it, how they got away with it, and much more. Additionally, Lisle highlights the dramatic story of MKULTRA's victims, from their terrible treatment to their dogged pursuit of justice.The consequences of MKULTRA still reverberate throughout American society. Project Mind Control is the definitive account of this most disturbing of chapters in CIA history.'Subscribe to the War Books podcast here:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@warbookspodcastApple: https://apple.co/3FP4ULbSpotify: https://spoti.fi/3kP9scZFollow the show here:Twitter: https://twitter.com/warbookspodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/warbookspodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/warbookspodcast/

They told you it ended in the 1970s. They lied.What if everything you think, every decision you make, every belief you hold wasn't actually yours? What if your own mind—the last sanctuary of human freedom—has been under assault for decades by forces so dark, so calculating, that they turned human consciousness itself into a weapon? You already know something's wrong. The way people think in perfect unison. How opinions spread like viruses. Why rational people suddenly abandon logic for narratives that make no sense. You've witnessed the zombie-like compliance, the mass formation psychosis, the collective madness that seems to grip entire populations overnight. This isn't coincidence. This is MKULTRA—and it never stopped. In this mind-bending episode, we expose the most horrifying secret in modern history: the systematic fracturing of human consciousness by government psychopaths who view your mind as their personal laboratory. From LSD experiments on unwitting victims to trauma-based programming of children, from sonic frequency manipulation to pharmaceutical mind control—we reveal how they perfected the art of mental slavery. But here's the terrifying truth they buried in classified files: MKULTRA wasn't a failed experiment. It was a resounding success. The techniques they developed in underground bunkers and psychiatric hospitals didn't disappear—they went mainstream. We'll expose how social media algorithms use MKULTRA programming principles to fragment your attention and manipulate your emotions. How news cycles employ trauma-based conditioning to keep you in perpetual fear states. Why certain words, images, and sounds trigger predictable responses in millions of people simultaneously. And most chilling of all: how they're using your own devices to deliver personalized psychological warfare directly into your brain. The victims weren't just the tortured souls in government facilities. It's you. It's your family. It's everyone who's ever felt their thoughts weren't quite their own, who's experienced that eerie sense of mental manipulation, who's wondered why they suddenly believe things that go against their deepest values. They spent decades perfecting mind control on unwilling test subjects, and now they're using those same techniques on an entire civilization. The technology has evolved. The reach has expanded. But the goal remains the same: complete control over human consciousness. Every advertisement you see, every headline you read, every notification you receive has been weaponized using MKULTRA principles. Your attention is under siege. Your emotions are being harvested. Your thoughts are being steered by invisible handlers who view free will as their greatest enemy. But you're here. You're questioning. You're fighting back against the mental prison they've constructed around you. And that makes you more dangerous to them than any army.Are you ready to reclaim your own mind? Because once you understand how deep their psychological manipulation goes, you'll never be their unwitting subject again. WARNING: This episode contains disturbing evidence of government mind control experiments and ongoing psychological warfare that may fundamentally change how you perceive your own thoughts and decisions. Listen only if you're prepared to confront the reality of mental manipulation.

More than 50 years after the conviction of Charles Manson and members of the Manson Family for the shocking Tate-LaBianca murders, acclaimed filmmaker Errol Morris takes aim at the case. Inspired by author Tom O'Neill, whose book (“CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties”) attempts to debunk the thesis of famed prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi, Errol dives deep into Bugliosi's “Helter Skelter” theory that convinced the jury — and then captivated the world as chronicled in his true crime bestseller.   Errol joins Ken on the pod to talk about what attracted him to O'Neill's skepticism of the Helter Skelter scenario in which Manson's apocalyptic vision of inciting a race war allegedly compelled his followers to carry out the massacre. But, even as the film delves into O'Neill's alternative theory involving the CIA's Project MKUltra (the subject of Errol's earlier Netflix series “Wormwood”), the narrative shifts once again, as Errol's nose for the truth leads him to Manson associate and convicted murderer Bobby Beausoleil. It's a convoluted path that may lead to the truth or, more likely, to more questions. It's just the kind of quest that Errol Morris fans and true crime buffs have been waiting for.   “CHAOS: The Manson Murders” is streaming on Netflix.   Hidden Gem: “

“Timothy McVeigh: PsyOp Pawn or Patriot Gone Rogue?”Inside the Oklahoma City Bombing, Government Mind Games & the Questions They Never AnsweredThe Oklahoma City bombing shocked the world — but what if the official story was only half the truth?

MK Ultra survivor and whistleblower Cathy O'Brien returns to reveal how the infamous government mind control program—originally exposed in the 1970s—is not only still active, but has evolved into more covert and far-reaching forms. Officially launched by the CIA in the 1950s, Project MK Ultra was a secret operation that used trauma-based conditioning, hypnosis, drugs like LSD, sensory deprivation, and psychological manipulation to control individuals' thoughts and behaviors. While the program was publicly condemned and supposedly shut down, Cathy O'Brien contends it never truly ended—it simply went deeper underground. In this interview, Cathy exposes how these techniques are still being weaponized today—not just against isolated individuals, but also against entire populations through psychological operations, media influence, and cultural manipulation. We examine high-profile celebrities and political figures whose erratic behaviors may suggest they have been subjected to programming. Cathy also shares critical insights into how people can recognize signs of trauma-based mind control and begin the process of healing and deprogramming.To learn more about her experience, her research, and practical tools for breaking free from psychological manipulation, visit her website at Trance-Formation.com.

On this week's episode M&B once again take on government conspiracy theories by telling you about the CIA's massive human rights violation, Project MK Ultra. Then they review the unhinged movie, The Killing Room. 

This week Christine shares the story of the eruption of Mount St. Helen. The biggest volcano eruption and the largest recorded landslide in human history. Tayler share the insane story Project MKUltra was a human experimentation program designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to develop procedures and identify drugs that could be used during interrogations to weaken individuals and force confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture. The ultimate goal was mind control. Spank you for listening. Do less God bless. Gloom & Bloom out!

What did you think of todays' episode?This week is like a combo episode of history and conspiracy theories. Even though this is a conspiracy episode, we do take our time to talk some history to lay out the groundwork on this good old fashioned mind control fun times.Have you heard about MKUltra?I feel the vast majority of the internet knows of MKUltra--the code name for a covert CIA mind-control and chemical interrogation research program, run by the Office of Scientific Intelligence. During the early period of the Cold War, the higher ups at the CIA became convinced that communists had discovered a drug or some technique that would allow them to control human minds. This idea of brainwashing was a palatable way to deal with soldiers that came back parroting communist propaganda from Korea, and why there was such a huge uptick in Americans supporting communism post WW2. In response to the idea of brainwashing, the CIA began its own secret program, to search for a mind control drug that could be weaponized against enemies.Did it work? I hope you know the answer, but take a listen to hear about some of the conspiracy theories associated with Project MkUltra.

And how much of MKUltra's work still influences modern psychological operations today?Through declassified documents, expert analysis, and firsthand testimonies, this episode connects MKUltra to larger government conspiracies, exposing how the CIA's secret drug experiments spiraled out of control, leading to unintended consequences that still haunt society today.Tune in as we unravel the disturbing truth about MKUltra, the CIA's hidden role in the drug trade, and the lingering mysteries behind America's most controversial intelligence operations.

In this chilling episode of our documentary series, we delve deep into the shadows of history to uncover the unsettling truth of Project MK Ultra. As one of the most controversial clandestine projects ever conducted by the CIA, MK Ultra involved extensive experiments on human subjects without their consent, aiming to develop sophisticated methods of mind control. From the post-war streets of Cold War America to the dark corners of secretive labs, we explore the moral and ethical boundaries crossed in the name of national security. This episode reveals the stories of unwitting subjects, the psychological tactics used from sensory deprivation to the administration of LSD, and the lasting impact on American society. Tune in as we unravel the layers of secrecy behind MK Ultra, offering unprecedented insights into how far the government went to control minds and the legacy that continues to haunt us today.(00:01) The Podcast begins by acknowledging the fragmented and incomplete historical records available regarding mind control experiments conducted by agencies such as the CIA. It distinguishes between general societal mind control through media and psychiatric mind control involving direct interaction with subjects.(01:29) Classical conditioning and behavior modification techniques, used extensively in mind control, are explained using examples like Pavlov's dogs and B.F. Skinner's experiments on his daughter using a controlled environment known as the Skinner Box.(03:10) The origins of the CIA's involvement in mind control trace back to World War II with the formation of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Post-war, this led to the creation of the CIA and the initiation of projects aiming at brainwashing and psychological manipulation during the Cold War.(14:01) Project MK Ultra, starting around 1950, involved extensive research into drugs (like LSD), hypnosis, and other methods to manipulate human behavior. These efforts were often conducted without the subjects' knowledge or consent, leading to various ethical violations.(57:17) Modern implications of mind control practices are discussed, highlighting ongoing psychological manipulation techniques similar to those of MK Ultra, used in places like Guantanamo Bay. This includes sensory deprivation, isolation, and humiliation aimed at breaking down individuals psychologically.

Could Australia's unique geography and vast, uninhabited areas be the key to unlocking the secrets of an alien presence on Earth? (Outback Extraterrestrials) *** From 1953 to 1973, the CIA conducted a top-secret mind control program known as Project MKUltra, pushing the boundaries of ethics and legality in the name of national security. Using LSD, hypnosis, and even torture, the agency experimented on unwitting citizens and its own personnel, leaving a trail of controversy and damaged lives in its wake. Decades later, the full extent of MKUltra's operations remains shrouded in mystery, with only fragments of its dark history coming to light through declassified documents and survivor testimonies. (MKUltra and Mind Control) *** From frozen bodies in abandoned buildings to mummified remains in chimneys, there have been numerous chilling discoveries where human remains have been found in the most unexpected places. It's just one way people – either by accident or sinister misdeeds, can simply vanish without a trace. But in a few cases, the bodies do turn up – in bizarre ways and strange locations.

OA1057 We're giving ourselves a break this week from Trump, the Supreme Court, and all things 2024 to indulge in one of Matt's all-time favorite subjects: CIA mind control experiments! In this extra-carefully-researched episode, Matt breaks down the history of the federal government's MKULTRA  program to fund research in brainwashing, mind control, and LSD on unsuspecting U.S. and (for some reason) Canadian citizens, as well as the inherent legal issues in trying to sue the CIA for something you can't remember and for which most evidence has been destroyed. Why was the CIA funding a sadistic mad scientist in Montreal, and is there any hope of justice for the families of his victims today?  BOOKS Poisoner in Chief: Sidney Gottlieb and the CIA Search for Mind Control , Stephen Kinzer (2019) The Search for the Manchurian Candidate: the CIA and Mind Control, John Marks (1979)(link goes to full text on CIA website) The Devil's Chessboard: Allen Dulles, the CIA, and the Rise of America's Secret Government: David Talbot (2016) CHAOS: The Truth Behind the Manson Murders, Tom O'Neill (2020) LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Orlikow v.

On November 28, 1953, a government employee named Frank Olson plummeted to his death from a window in New York City's Statler Hotel. Decades later, a new investigation into his death revealed one of the government's most secretive and disturbing projects, involving LSD, brainwashed assassins, and mind control. In this episode, Krista and Kurt look into the truly frightening history of Project MKUltra. And, as always, a taste-test and listener questions!

Ash and Fallon wrap up "Psychotic Psychology" and the insane story of Project MKUltra. During the early Cold War and Korean Wars, in the late '40s and early '50s, the CIA became a super paranoid and obsessed spy agency, working on the notion that communists might have perfected some kind of a drug or technique that could control the human mind.  Project MKUltra lasted through the '50s and '60s (at least that's what they want us to think) and killed many people and destroyed countless lives.Wait... the CIA is shady AF? Yep, and you probably didn't know just how unscrupulous until now.✨If you wanna get your TSFU episodes ad free and on Tuesdays instead of Fridays, check out our Patreon!

Project MK Ultra was an illegal human experiments program designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to develop procedures and identify drugs that could be used during interrogations to weaken people and force confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture. My guest on this Episode, Cathy O'Brien is a survivor of the project Mk Ultra. Cathy's story is truly shocking but also inspiring as she continues to seek to expose the evil of mind control.

Στο σημερινό μας podcast έχουμε έναν καλεσμένο... έναν αξιότιμο καλεσμένο, τον Γιάννη. Γεια σου, Γιάννη! (Γεια σου, Δημήτρη!) Χρόνια πολλά κιόλας! Σήμερα είναι 7 Ιανουαρίου, ε; Γιάννης: [0:39] Ναι, γιορτάζω εγώ και η μισή Ελλάδα. Δημήτρης: [0:42] Εσύ όμως είσαι στην Αγγλία! Γιορτάζεις και στην Αγγλία; Γιάννης: [0:46] Ναι, όσοι μου στέλνουνε χρόνια πολλά αυτό θεωρούν... ότι γιορτάζω και στην Αγγλία, αλλά, ναι... εδώ δεν ξέρουν από namedays. Δημήτρης: [0:53] Ναι, αλλά εσύ κάνεις τίποτα; Φαντάζομαι μόνος σου τα... δεν (Όχι) ξεχνάς ότι υπάρχει αυτό όταν... όταν φεύγεις από το περιβάλλον το... Γιάννης: [1:01] Ναι, ναι, ναι, ναι, ναι, ναι. Και στην Ελλάδα δηλαδή... Ντάξει, άντε να βγαίναμε για κανά φαΐ. Δεν είναι ότι θα κάνουμε κάτι πολύ μεγάλο για την ονομαστική εορτή. Δημήτρης: [1:08] Αλλά και πάλι είναι ωραίο που σήμερα μιλάμε στη γιορτή σου. Εμένα μου αρέσει τουλάχιστον. Είμαστε... καταρχάς να πω ότι αυτό το επεισόδιο είναι vidcast, θα το βάλουμε και σαν βίντεο στο Easy Greek podcast στο YouTube. Είναι μία καλή ευκαιρία να το μοιραστούμε γιατί το βίντεο έχει άλλη δύναμη, όπως και να 'χει. Θα 'θελα να δοκιμάσουμε και βίντεο γενικότερα στο Easy Greek podcast, να δούμε αν μπορούμε να το χρησιμοποιήσουμε πιο συχνά, οπότε είναι και αυτό μία δοκιμή. Όπως και να 'χει, αν εσείς μας ακούτε σε κανονική μορφή podcast, αυτό δεν σας επηρεάζει καθόλου κάπως. Σήμερα θα μιλήσουμε για τα ψυχεδελικά. Έτσι δεν είναι, Γιάννη; (Ναι) Πες μας για τον «Κυκεώνα» και για την Ελληνική Εταιρία Ενθεογόνων. Καταρχάς, στα αγγλικά «Greek Psychedelic Society» και στα ελληνικά «Ελληνική Εταιρία Ενθεογόνων» Γιατί όχι «Ελληνική Ψυχεδελικη Εταιρία». Γιάννης: [2:17] Βασικά λόγω του... της αρνητικής φόρτισης αυτής της λέξης στην ελληνική κοινωνία. Όταν το είχαμε ονομάσει αρχικά έτσι, πάρα πολλοί ερχόντουσαν και μας έλεγαν ότι «Έχετε σχέση με party και psychedelic music και τέτοια πράγματα;». Ναι. Για την υπόλοιπη απομαγνητοφώνηση, γίνετε μέλη μας! (https://easy-greek.org/membership)

Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "The finest heart and health supplement in the world!" What happens when conspiracy theories turn out to be true? On this edition of The Brian Nichols Show, host Brian Nichols has an in-depth discussion with Connor Boyack from the Libertas Institute about "true conspiracies" - theories that were once dismissed but later proven to be fact. They delve into a number of historical examples, including Project MK Ultra, Operation Northwoods, the Tuskegee Experiments, and more. Boyack provides fascinating details on these "true conspiracies," explaining how the government and other entities have deceived the public throughout history to advance certain agendas. He makes the case that we should be more skeptical when presented with narratives from official sources, given this track record of lies and manipulation. Nichols and Boyack also examine how emotions are exploited to manufacture consent, using recent Middle East conflicts as a case study. They discuss the techniques of "engineering consent" and how these psychological tactics are being employed in the modern "mind war." In addition, the two liberty advocates talk about focusing your activism locally and outline strategies for creating change starting with your own family and sphere of influence. They share inspirational examples of young people who have made an impact after learning history and principles from resources like Boyack's Tuttle Twins books. This jam-packed episode of The Brian Nichols Show is full of eye-opening information about government conspiracies, war propaganda, mass manipulation, and more.

This week I'm extremely honored to have back on the show for a second time: MK Ultra survivor, targeted individual and technological mind control victim, voice for the voiceless, writer, and author of the book ”21st Century MK Ultra Slave: A Vintage Transhuman Tale”: Ron AlanA little bit about Ron if you missed his terrific 1st interview where he shared his testimony: Born in 1953 as the 4th son to a father who was a US Navy Pilot and early developer of radar, and a mother who was a ‘Grey Lady' for the American Red Cross, Ron's abuse and programming quite literally started at birth after he was given to the Valley Forge Army Hospital by his parents for 10 days immediately after he was born. Valley Forge Army Hospital was “coincidentally” used for the CIA's Project Bluebird (which precursed Project MK Ultra) and his hospital doctor, Dr. Beck, had many suspicious links including to the CIA, to Manchurian Candidates, as well as to the False Memory Syndrome Foundation - which he joined at its inception and continued being a board member throughout his life. Ron has been an MK Ultra experimental subject since birth - first by early CIA and US Army / Navy doctors and later joined by FBI COINTELPRO. Ron and his older brother, Gordon, were chosen for Project MK Ultra and it wasn't until 2005 when Ron's memories began flooding back at age 52 that he would be awakened to the hard reality of what he didn't know he was forced and programmed to forget.  The last time Ron was on, he shared parts of his incredible testimony from childhood ranging in memories from within the MK ULTRA projects he was subjected to, to the haunting death of his beloved brother, Gordon, to the threads of his family and people who he was associated with from birth that weave together to form the tapestry of Ron's complicated, painful and inspirational life story. What most people think is that when you ‘quote unquote LEAVE' these projects and systems that a survivor's life just returns back to normal and the torture and horrors stop, but for many survivors, this couldn't be further from the truth. Electronic warfare and technological mind control such as directed energy weapons (or DEWS) plague survivors for life and even as a survivor, they still remain a victim. Ron's incredible memoir, “21st Century MK Ultra Slave: A Vintage Transhuman Tale”, - which I encourage you ALL to get - outlines and details the life of an MK ULTRA child mind slave and the different methods of targeting that can - and often does - take place that make it almost impossible for a victim to even become a survivor as an adult. I wanted to give a reminder that if you are a survivor or whistleblower who wants to share your story on the podcast or wants to share any information privately with me, you can now email me at IMAGINEABETTERWORLD2020@GMAIL.COM! Please send me a briefing of who you are and how I can support you whether it's through podcasting or sharing information.

In 1953, unbeknownst to the general public, the CIA conducted experiments on both the general population and government employees regarding the possibilities of things like mind control and hypnosis. Americans were dosed with LSD, oftentimes against their will or without their knowledge. The project was ultimately shut down in 1973 and did not become known to the public until afterward.
