Stranger Things might have just premiered last summer, but the events in the retro-inspired sci-fi series took place decades earlier. In fact, as diehard fans of the show pointed out, today marks the 34th anniversary of the happenings portrayed in the first episode.
Season 1, Episode 1 opens with a description of the date and location: "November 6, 1983 Hawkins, Indiana."
That technically means, 34 years ago on this date, Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) disappeared into the Upside Down, and Hawkins was never the same.
Stranger Things enthusiasts took note.
