The Stranger Things cast—six kids and the sheriff—gather anxiously in the shadowy forest of Hawkins as an ominous red glow sets the mood, evoking the thrilling, retro-inspired visuals fans love from Netflix’s hit series, perfect for Halloween Nights at Universal Studios.

Stranger Things has been promoting its upcoming second season with some fun posters inspired by 1980s movies, and their latest is a nod to the classic “The Goonies.”

Here’s the “Stranger Things” version and the original “Goonies” poster for comparison:

Stranger Things attraction poster designed with the series’ beloved characters dressed in iconic 1980s outfits, posed in a forest backdrop that captures Hawkins’ eerie atmosphere. The bold red Stranger Things logo looms above, styled to evoke classic adventure films like The Goonies, inviting visitors into an immersive world of nostalgia and supernatural thrills.

The Goonies movie poster features the adventurous young crew gathered above a pirate skull and overflowing treasure, with the iconic film title displayed in bold retro style. Reminiscent of Stranger Things, this eye-catching artwork would fit right in at Universal Studios’ retro attractions or themed entertainment experiences celebrating classic 80s films.

The “Stranger Things” poster features more muted colors, keeping up the spooky mood and sense of foreboding created by the TV show.

Other posters in the series have included Jaws, The Evil Dead, and A Nightmare on Elm Street, to name a few. New posters have been revealed each week as part of the #StrangerThursdays social media campaign.

Stranger Things” returns to Netflix on October 27.
