Hoooooooo boy.

Well, of course! (Only flaw here is that El took her out, not the Demigorgon. Otherwise it still totally holds).

Guess this means I'm in the club now.

Ah yes. She would fit the bill (until the monster ate her).

"Aliens did it Dad! They just pointed this high-frequency device at the bathroom door, and, and—"

This exactly. I found that to be an interesting twist on formula. Not mind-blowing necessarily, but a good spin on tradition.

One of my top favorites, convincing me that this Pakula guy knew what he was doing.

Happy to help. Thinking of re-watching it myself (since I own it) when the weather cools down. A nice fall/winter thriller on par with Michael Clayton.

Ditto. Chances are I may have skimmed it, but in case I missed it…I'm definitely intrigued.

That was the one who started pushing Steve and had him drive off at the gas station (thus causing them to lose their ride home), right? Because if so, then yeah, he has '80s teen slasher victim written a lllllllll over him.

Guess we needed to see Barb's mother slap Sheriff Hopper?

Well said. After all, one other death we kinda saw was the tribute/scientist who first entered the portal into the Upside Down with the safety line attached. He certainly didn't make it out alive, so where's his funeral?

Hahahahahahaha, that's a fantastic mental image. Wouldn't Deviant Art be better with more illustrations like these?

Don't blame me, I voted Demogorgon.

I read that last part in the voice of Christian Bale's Batman. So…maybe you're Rip Van Wayne?

Wait, which one was the old lady? Try as I might I cannot recall any geriatric woman playing a role (unless you mean Eleven's comatose mother/Department of Energy Goon).

Or, for those really dialed into the "Legends" mythos, riding the Demogorgon wielding a sonic bi-dent (Because there were only two prongs, you see.)

She's not the hero we need, but the hero we—what's that? …
You're saying she DOESN"T do anything to 'save' the day? She gets killed? Ah…well then…carry on.
