Netflix staged an ambitious Stranger Thingspresence at Comic-Con, including a big video tunnel on the convention floor -- the first booth for the streaming giant in San Diego -- and an activation across the street astride the Hilton Gaslamp, where it was also promoting original film Brightand the upcoming series The Defenders.

Walk inside a big black tent, and you're quite transported to something between our world and the Upside Down. The space is filled with artifacts and other nods to Stranger Things-- bikes, pistols, vintage video games, maybe even some hidden clues -- and is pumped with enough air conditioning to make you want to pop on a Members Only jacket.

Rest in peace, Barb.

Your memory lives with our obsession over your death, which (the room suddenly darkens) we all know CANNOT POSSIBLY BE FINAL and was a big mean trick! There, I said it! Fake death! She's coming back! These handwritten cards of condolence from people with names like "Bernice" aren't fooling anyone, NETFLIX.
