Speaking with Deadline, Habour remarked that the upcoming season will be just as epic as some of the films released in 1985, although he stayed mum on which films served as direct inspiration. “If you’re a real fan of Stranger Things and you really want to know, I would go look at the great films that were released in ’85, of which there were many, and just go down that list and think of the possibilities that we could be going with. I think it is a specific season to 1985, and so you’ll see references to that.”

That kind of a lineup is already pretty killer, but imagining Stranger Things referencing any of these films or structuring the season to replicate one or more of them is pretty darn intriguing — and suggests that darkness could be lurking around every corner.

Levy kept his hints short and sweet, commenting that Stranger Things season three is “definitely going to yet darker still, places that I think audiences are going to really love.”
