Dr. Squatch Launches ‘Stranger Things’ Soap with Murray Bauman Ad
Dr. Squatch is commemorating the fifth and final season of “Stranger Things” with four limited edition soaps, and Brett Gelman reprises his Murray Bauman character to blow the lid off your shower routine in the ad below.
Descend into the Upside Down with Vecna’s Curse, a heavy-grit natural soap forged with pumice, coconut oil, and ground vanilla vine. Otherworldly scent notes of crisp juniper, blood orange, and dark amber swirl in a power as sinister as Hawkins’ darkest threat.
Lather up for a late-night Hawkins mission with Squawk Signal, a light-grit natural soap powered by pumice, coconut oil, and wild orchard extract. Electrifying scent notes of icy lavender and fizzy cherry soda forge an energizing blend that sparks mystery and the thrill of the unknown.
Step into the industrial chill of Hawkins Lab with Experiment No. 11, a medium-grit natural soap crafted with pumice, coconut oil, and antioxidant-rich rainbow plant extract. Curious scent notes of fresh citrus and cooling metallic iron fuse into a bar that’s humming with the mystery of hidden experiments.
Unleash the Hellfire Club’s fiery spirit with Hellfire & Beyond, a medium-grit natural soap loaded with pumice, coconut oil, and dragon’s blood extract. Scent notes of bold pepper, clove, and leather yield a lather worthy of Hawkins’ most rebellious heroes.
“If there’s one thing Murray Bauman knows, it’s that there’s always a cover-up, and it turns out that ‘Big Soap’ has been running one in our showers for years”, said Gelman. “Thankfully, Dr. Squatch helped me blow the case wide open… and I’ve never smelled better doing investigative work.”
Five-ounce bars of Vecna’s Curse, Squawk Signal, Experiment No. 11, and Hellfire & Beyond are available in a four-pack for $32.
The collection is available online and in Target stores nationwide.
The first four episodes in the long-awaited conclusion to “Stranger Things” are on Netflix now, with the next three episodes dropping on December 25 and the series finale — also in theaters — on December 31. Each volume releases at 5pm PT/8pm ET.

Written by Roth and longtime friend Noah Belson, Ice Cream Man is set in the idyllic summer town of Bayleen Bay, where sheer terror ensues as an ice cream man serves up sweet delights — with horrifying results.
Ari Millen (“Orphan Black”) stars in the titular role along with Benjamin Byron Davis (Red Dead Redemption), Karen Cliche (Thanksgiving), Dylan Hawco, Sarah Abbott, Shiloh O’Reilly, Kiori Mirza Waldman, Charlie Zeltzer (“The Handmaid’s Tale”), and Charlie Storey.
Snoop Dogg — who’s also working with Roth on Don’t Go in That House, Bitch — is contributing music to the film, along with composer Brandon Roberts (Thanksgiving).
The prosthetic makeup effects are handled by Oscar winner Adrien Morot (The Whale, Thanksgiving) and Steve Newburn (Frankenstein, Thanksgiving).
Ice Cream Man is Executive Produced by Grammy-winning rap icon Nas.
It’s worth noting that Roth’s Ice Cream Man has nothing to do with the ’90s movie starring Clint Howard. A sequel to that film, however, has been trying to get off the ground for years.
