That's an interesting point. I think too many people are trying to assign a single progenitor to Stranger Things when it is actually a very complex mix of things the creators grew up with. I think we see the things that we recognize and others see things they recognize. What it tells me is that the Duffer Brothers are very well informed when it comes to this type of story and pulled from any and everything. If you'd like to write up a piece talking about the Koontz influence, we'd gladly post it at the shows website: forallintents.net
