‘Stranger Things’ posters pay tribute to horror classics – CNET

The marketing for “Stranger Things” is full of throwback horror movie references, as seen in these pitch-perfect movie poster tributes covering famous flicks like “Alien” and “Running Man.” “Stranger Things” returns to Netflix on Oct. 27. 

If this poster looks familiar, it’s because it’s a play on the one sheet for the shark infested 1975 Steven Spielberg classic “Jaws.” Instead of a shark, we get the gaping mouth of the demogorgon, a monster seen in the first season.
