Chief Jim Hopper is playing a deadly game.

The official “Stranger Things” Twitter account has been having a whole lot of fun on the road to the Season 2 premiere, live-tweeting along with Season 1 episodes, sharing behind the scenes photos, and also showing off new art that plays up the hit Netflix series’ strong ties to the 1980s.

Every Thursday, a new poster for “Stranger Things” that’s inspired by an ’80s movie poster is unveiled, with the iconic posters for Stand by Me and A Nightmare on Elm Street so far being paid tribute to. A new piece of promo art hit their Twitter account today, this one directly inspired by 1987’s The Running Man.

Jim Hopper plays the role of Schwarzenegger’s Ben Richards for this fun poster.

The second season of “Stranger Things” hits Netflix on October 27.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
