17 “Stranger Things” behind the scenes photos that prove this cast is the tightest

While we wait on pins and needles (and piles of chocolate pudding) for Netflix’s ~official~ second season renewal of Stranger Things – though, like, come ooooon already, is it not obvious that it will happen?! – we’re finding plenty of ways to keep ourselves busy.

Yes, you could just REWATCH the entire first season (::whispers:: maybe I have already…twice), but you could also make your own cool Stranger Things logo or buy some super awesome inspired fan merch.

It’s also fun to get a little ~nostalgic~ and thanks to the insanely awesome cast’s photos, we can get a small glimpse into the behind-the-scenes workings of Hawkins, Indiana and the Upside Down. And, UNSURPRISINGLY, it turns out the Stranger Things cast is super tight…
