ON 15 JULY 2016, THE DUFFER Brothers unleashed a bold new television drama on Netflix. Starring Winona Ryder, David Harbour and a host of fresh-faced newcomers, Stranger Things introduced the masses to Demogorgons, the Mind Flayer and the marvellous mystery of the Upside Down. The coming-of-age story delicately balanced themes of supernatural horror with '80s nostalgia, along with slivers of drama, romance and comedy - and fans flocked.

Stranger Things' very first scene takes place in Hawkins, Indiana. It's 6 November 1983 and a star-filled sky fills the screen before the camera pans down to an exterior shot of Hawkins National Laboratory for the US Department of Energy.

STRANGE JOURNEY THE STORY OF ROCKY HORROR

“I loved every minute of it,” says Tim Curry of filming The Rocky Horror Picture Show in 1974. Barry Bostwick has another take: “I was wet and miserable most of the time.” The one thing they do agree on, however, is that the result was a milestone in cinema history.
