#2: The Body
It isn’t too hard to tell that this television series is based around a bunch of kids that have gotten themselves into way too much trouble. But Stranger Things wouldn’t be the first piece of work like this that we have ever seen. Although this time the show is based around a female protagonist.
Episode 4 of season 1 of Stranger Things was called The Body. Stranger Things and Stany By Me have that particular fact in common considering that Stand By Me was adapted into a novella with the same name. Not only that, in both Stranger Things and Stand By Me, the main characters are seen walking down train tracks.
