Stranger Things: Worlds Turned Upside Down: The Official Behind-The-Scenes Companion
Stranger Things: Worlds Turned Upside Down: The Official Behind-The-Scenes Companion | Gina McIntyre
24 posts | 17 read | 16 to read
The official behind-the-scenes companion guide to the first two seasons of Stranger Things and beyond, featuring exclusive color photos and stunning concept art. Note: This book has been designed to mimic a used book. The marks, scuffs, and tears on the cover and pages are an intentional design element. Stranger things have happened. . . . When the first season of Stranger Things debuted on Netflix in the summer of 2016, the show struck a nerve with millions of viewers worldwide and received broad critical acclaim. The series has gone on to win six Emmy Awards, but its success was driven more than anything by word of mouth, resonating across generations. Viewers feel personal connections to the characters. Now fans can immerse themselves in the world--or worlds--of Hawkins, Indiana, like never before. Inside you'll find - original commentary and a foreword from creators Matt and Ross Duffer - exclusive interviews with the stars of the show, including Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, and David Harbour - the show's earliest drafts, pitches to Netflix, and casting calls - insights into the Duffers' creative process from the entire crew--from costume and set designers to composers and visual-effects specialists - deep dives into the cultural artifacts and references that inspired the look and feel of the show - a map of everyday Hawkins--with clues charting the network of the Upside Down - the Morse code disk Eleven uses, so you can decipher secret messages embedded throughout the text - a look into the future of the series--including a sneak preview of season three! Adding whole new layers to enrich the viewing experience, this keepsake is essential reading for anyone and everyone who loves Stranger Things.

This book is so damn cool. If you dig Stranger Things, it's a must. There's a lot of footnotes with explanations of older movies, shows and characters. A lot of reviews have this as a negative but I think it's amazing that they didn't act like everyone knows everything already. Granted, nerds like myself are well versed in the way of horror and sci fi but for people who are just getting into it or teenagers this is such a fun way to learn more.

Oh. My. God. This is such a cool book! I'm about 60 pages in and over the moon in love with it! They made character sheets for the 4 boys ❤️🤓

The shadow monster lurks behind the fake library binding cover of this Stranger Things book. I wonder if he got locked out of the Upside Down.

Finished this last night! I loved it! It gave a great amount of insight into one of my favorite shows. I even loved the "beat-up" cover. It was very engaging! I was very happy to learn more about how the show came to be!

The official Stranger Things companion. Pretty straightforward if you‘ll be interested or not ; I‘m a huge ST nerd and I loved it—and the little season 3 tease was fun.

Readergrrl I am a child of the 80s and I can‘t tell how much pure joy and nostalgia this series brings me! 💜💜💜 6y
shellleigh33 My thirteen year old loves Stranger Things! She got this book for Christmas and loves it 😊 6y
merelybookish My kids are the big fans. I bet my daughter would enjoy The Book of Barb. 6y
Aleida What‘s it about? 6y
GloVerdino I just ordered a magnet for my dishwasher that says “clean things” on one side and “dirty things” on the other side with pictures, (not so) patiently waiting for it to arrive in the mail 6y

This companion book to the Netflix series doesn't have a lot of new information for those that have seen both seasons of the show and Beyond Stranger Things. It does have amazing photos, a map of Hawkins, some clues in Morse code to solve, and this great sketch of the Shadow Monster hidden behind the book flap. I also love that it's made to look like a used book you bought out of the bargain bin.

mom2bugnbee We bought the first two seasons on Blu-ray for our daughter for Christmas & the packaging looks like old VHS tapes! Even has the VHS logo & looks worn at the edges. I was actually worried when hubby first showed me after he'd bought them. 😂 6y
VioletBramble @mom2bugnbee I knew about the retro packaging when I bought season 1 on DVD and still worried there might actually be VHS tapes inside the box. 6y
tracey38 This sounds interesting. Also, I have the same bookworm planner! 6y

VioletBramble What do you think of the planner so far? @tracey38 I keep track of my reading in three places online but I do really like having things on paper. I may need more space than provided for books acquired. 6y
tracey38 @VioletBramble I like it but am still figuring out how exactly I want to use it. How are you liking it and using it? 6y
VioletBramble @tracey38 I'm considering January a test month. So far I'm using the monthly "steno notebook" page to organize books for my different Category Challenges at Library Thing and using the calendar to mark when I start and complete books. 6y
tracey38 @VioletBramble yeah, I think mine will be trial and error this month, too. I really haven't used the monthly spread and am using the weekly for what I am reading each day. I haven't been able to decide on the other pages yet but I really hope to get good use out of it this year. 6y

Stranger Things: Worlds Turned Upside Down is a must-read for all Stranger Things fans! Diving into the process of how the show came about was so interesting. But be warned: Reading this book will make you want to binge the first two seasons all over again!

These are two of the books I'm currently reading. There are two others in progress but I'm presently stalled on them both. It's possible I may finish one of these tonight. My plan for the evening is to rearrange one of my large bookshelves. I may have time after for reading.

My planned reads for December. It's going to be a busy month so I'm keeping expectations low. The Kinnell is my December #poetrychallenge2018 book. The Stranger Things book is my most anticipated book for the month. I'm also excited that my Funko Pop of Mike (Snowball Dance) came in the mail yesterday- 2 days early.
Now I'm going to open my #harrypotteradventcalendar pop for tomorrow and go to bed. Good night! 💤

I bought the tagged book (not pictured) and I also got these comics. Volume two of Stranger Things was out. I got both versions - couldn't pass up the one with Joyce and the Christmas lights. It was a good comics day at #ForbiddenPlanet.
I also got two new bookmarks at #thestrand.

laurieluna Is that a new books of magic series?? 6y
VioletBramble @miralunasbooknook yes, that's volume one. 6y

Not book related, but I'm super stoked on how well my daughter's Eleven costume came out! We're huge Stranger Things fans, and we figured the pink dress and wig was played out. #strangerthings #happyhalloween

Kayla.Adriena So awesome! 6y
Kayla.Adriena I'm also Stranger Things obsessed! Pouting there's no no season this year 6y
madamereadsalot1 @Kayla.Adriena my daughter complains on an almost daily basis about the wait! 😂 We're all ready, but I'm worried Al might not survive it! 6y
