Outside the Paley Museum on West 52nd Street on Dec 18, about 50 fans lined barricades in hopes of spotting members of the Stranger Things cast.

They had come from as far as Texas and started arriving at 2pm, clutching posters, playbills and, in one case, a purse with Hawkins High School pins.

Inside, half a dozen cast members including Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Maya Hawke and Natalia Dyer walked a red carpet as the show’s unofficial anthem, Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) by Kate Bush, played. They were greeted by a chorus of shrieks from fans.

“I can’t believe it’s finally almost over,” said Matarazzo, 23, who plays the lovable goofball Dustin Henderson. “I haven't really said goodbye to it yet.”
