He told us we’d be working with these amazing creators, the Duffer Brothers, and got us on the phone. Michelle: The first meeting was set up by Shawn Levy, one of the executive producers and a director on the show. What was the first meeting about this sequence like?
So, congratulations on Stranger Things! It’s gotten an incredible response. Winner of the 2017 Emmy in Outstanding Main Title Design.Ī discussion with Creative Director MICHELLE DOUGHERTY of Imaginary Forces. The Stranger Things opening is not only a fitting successor to a revered title design tradition, but a testament to the power of type in motion and the enormous potency of nostalgia. Similarly, the show's main titles function as a tribute to some of the era’s most iconic book covers and title sequences, a pastiche of first impressions. Paired with a synthy title track straight out of a Carpenter flick, the Stranger Things sequence echoes the openings of genre classics like Altered States and The Dead Zone both in form and tone. Large, hollow type drifts through a void, slowly assembling, its glowing red edges cutting through the darkness as smaller credits fade in and out. The primary typeface is Benguiat, carefully chosen for its deep associations with early '80s Stephen King paperbacks, the Choose Your Own Adventure series, and other dusty, musty touchstones. Think Tarantino by way of Amblin Entertainment! Showrunners Matt and Ross Duffer channel Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, David Cronenberg, John Hughes, and everyone in between, delivering a shot of pure nostalgia, a dose of something both familiar to viewers and altogether distinct.

Netflix’s Stranger Things is a series loaded with subtle nods and not-so-subtle homages to some of the most beloved films of the 1980s.
It’s up to Will’s intrepid friends, his dogged mother and brother, a washed up cop, and a strange girl to discover the truth of what’s lurking below the surface of their seemingly normal town. Where the young man has gone and exactly who – or what – is responsible for his disappearance is a mystery to his friends and family, but answers may lie in the secretive government lab just outside of town – or perhaps somewhere in-between.
