UPDATED ON MAY 22
The idea for these fanedits is to recut each season of Stranger Things into full length films like a horror franchise from the '80s. My goal is to create a set of cohesive films to be watched as a recap of each season or as a first-time viewing experience without having to watch each entire season.
Many scenes and subplots were removed and some major changes occurred in order to create an easy to follow and comprehensive story.STRANGER THINGS
