I only just noticed that the last 20 minutes of the terrible film The Puppet Masters (1994) seriously influenced Stranger Things. Has anyone discussed this in the sources?
The "snowflakes" from the destruction of the alien hive towards the end of The Puppet Masters are highly reminiscent of the "snowflakes" used throughout the show, particularly in reference to the toxic spores of the Upside Down.
The use of the stairwell imagery deep underground in the alien hive in Des Moines, Iowa, is highly reminiscent of the stairwell imagery in the deep underground lab of the Hawkins National Laboratory, near the Upside Down portal in Indiana
The character of Dr. Graves, the lead medical researcher, played by actor Will Patton has a young face almost identical in its resemblance to Dr. Martin Brenner, played by Matthew Modine, also the lead researcher. Both are noted as having an unusual connection to their research subjects and speak in a similar cadence and tone.
The romantic love interest in the film, between the characters of Sam Nivens and Mary Sefton, serves a similar role in Stranger Things, with the romantic interest of Jim Hopper and Joyce Byers. Both male characters are law enforcement figures. Both women do not seem attracted to the men until there is a significant emotional reveal from the men.
Both the film and the show take place in the midwest, respectively in Iowa and Indiana.
Both the film and the show involve secret government programs
In the film, the aliens are trying to take over using their hive mind capabilities; in the television show, Vecna is trying to take over using its hive mind capabilities
The role of children is paramount in both stories, with the children in the film playing a major role in spreading the alien contagion as well as wiping out and taking over the army. On the television show, the children play a similar role.
