Eddie’s introduction is sandwiched by a pair of menacing songs from the Cramps’ 1980 album Songs the Lord Taught Us. Is “I Was a Teenage Werewolf,” its name taken from a 1957 movie starring Michael Landon, some kind of clue? (Probably not, but it’s a cool song.) In 1985, Lucas and his friends went to Steve to help them sneak into the movies so they could watch Day of the Dead. Later, Lucas came to Steve's rescue before he, Dustin, Erica, and Robin before they along with the rest of the crew helped defeat The Mind Flayer at Starcourt Mall. Nancy’s had a Tom Cruise poster up in her room for a few seasons. While she seems a little embarrassed by it when Robin points it out, dismissing it as “old,” the poster actually puts her just a little ahead of the curve, culturally speaking. Risky Business made Cruise a star in 1983, but, in just a few months, Top Gun would make him a superstar in 1986. Nothing to be embarrassed about here, Nancy.
In the phone booth at Hawkins High, someone has scrawled the graffiti, “E.T., phone home!” This joke referencing the classic 1982 Spielberg film was probably already getting old in 1986. Star Wars

Mike, Will, and Eleven visit a roller rink called Rink-O-Mania in Lenora Hills. Though still decently popular today, the musical skating locations were a much bigger deal in the ‘80s. Carrie A year later, in 1985, Will was upset that Lucas wanted to spend time with his girlfriend, Max. He tried to get Lucas and Mike to play a D&D campaign after the two started having relationship problems. But when the two showed they were still interested in reaching out to their girlfriends, instead of playing D&D, Will finally snapped and decided to leave, brushing Lucas off when he attempted to stop him. Lucas and Mike later went to Will's house and tried to apologize to him, only to find him outside Castle Byers, revealing the Mind Flayer's return. Lucas later tried to apologize again the next day as they prepared to test to see if Max's stepbrother, Billy Hargrove, was possessed by the Mind Flayer. However, Will brushed off Lucas's attempts, saying they should be more focused on Billy and the Mind Flayer. However, Lucas managed to reconcile with Will and the two exchanged smiles after hearing Mike confess his love for Eleven. Later, the two worked together in caring for an injured Eleven and battling the Mind Flayer with fireworks. After the Mind Flayer's defeat, three months later, Lucas says goodbye to Will before moving out of Hawkins. In fourth grade, the boys befriended a new student named Dustin Henderson. Upon starting middle school, the three boys became the targets of bullies Troy Walsh and James Dante. The kids would soon form a great relationship with their science teacher, Scott Clarke, joining the AV Club he ran and taking part in the annual science fair. The boys won almost every year, except in 1982, which Mr. Clarke told the boys was "totally political".verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ In the newspaper we see Dr. Brenner reading in 1979, we can see four horoscopes, two of which contradict the other two. The first two are advising keeping one’s ideas to oneself, while the other two are advising seeking input from others. All seem to be about “clever thoughts,” “fantastic” ideas, and “ingenious plans.” Interestingly, “idea” is also one of the crossword puzzle answers. What does it all mean? Uhhh…you tell us?

Suzie’s family home is filled with activity and screaming kids, including a pint-size aspiring filmmaker making a movie while wearing a pencil-thin mustache reminiscent of the kind favored by cult-favorite filmmaker John Waters. It’s a funny, if unlikely, influence to find its way into a family of devout Mormons, especially since Waters wouldn’t make anything resembling a family-friendly movie until Hairspray in 1988. Suzie’s computer of choice — and the others’ introduction to this strange thing called “the internet” — is the Amiga. Commodore’s successor to the Commodore 64, it first became widely available in early 1986, making Suzie and her family early adopters. Though initially successful, proving competitive with both Apple and IBM’s offerings of the era, it proved unsustainable, particularly after Commodore’s 1994 bankruptcy.
