Here are the references to ’80s movies in Netflix’s great new show ‘Stranger Things’

Netflix/ Universal

If you’ve heard anything about “Stranger Things,” it’s that Netflix’s latest show makes some interesting references. Actually, a lot.

The series that’s been called a “Frankenstein’s monster of ’80s influences” includes nods to, among many others, “Alien,” “Firestarter,” “The Goonies,” and most of all “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.”

To see just how often “Stranger Things” tips its hat to the sci-fi, horror, and fantasy classics before it, watch the video Ulysse Thevenon edited together on Vimeo. His supercut doesn’t include every scene from the series’ eight episodes, nor does it feature every tiny reference, but it has the major moments that any good fan should know. And it’s of course set to the ultra-’80s opening theme by Austin synth band Survive.

Get ready to see a lot of Steven Spielberg.

First and foremost, “Stranger Things” loves “E.T.” Pretty much any time it uses flashlights recalls Spielberg’s classic.

Again, “E.T.” gets a lot of shout-outs.

The creepy terror in “Stranger Things” is right out of “Alien.”

The ragtag group of kids in “Stranger Things” is a 2016 version of the gang from “The Goonies.”

The similarities are uncanny.

The “Stranger Things” group also has a very “Stand By Me” moment.

Another Stephen King shout-out can be found when Joyce (Winona Ryder) channels Jack Nicholson’s famous scene in “The Shining.”

Eleven’s (Millie Bobby Brown) supernatural abilities on “Stranger Things” are tested just like Charlie’s (Drew Barrymore) in “Firestarter.”
