Everything can be bigger and more surreal. As you can see from the newly released teaser trailer, the result is something that feels cinematic and deeply atmospheric — and *that* feels like the Hawkins we know. “The idea was kind of to evoke of an ‘80s cartoon,” Matt teased in a featurette for the series, and I feel like they nailed it. The vibes are givingin cartoon form. And having an animated follow-up to an iconic title like this reminds me ofI know a chunk of the fandom will probably shit all over the idea of this series, but I feel like that’s just fandoms for you.
