Netflix Set Up a “Stranger Things” Bus Stop at #SDCC and We’d Spend the Entire Event Hiding In It
I know myself well enough to know I wouldn’t actually want to be at San Diego Comic Con, as I’m far too much of a homebody, but even I’ll admit that the images that emerge from the event every year make me envious of those in attendance. Take, for this example, this “Stranger Things”-themed bus stop, which Netflix is inviting attendees into this year.
The “Shadow Monster” looms above the bus stop, which features areas that recreate the Byers family’s living room (Christmas lights and all) and the ’80s arcade from Season 2.
Brilliantly, the retro arcade cabinet is actually an ATM machine!

Best known to horror fans for playing Rupert Giles in 121 episodes of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” actor Anthony Head (aka Anthony Stewart Head) has passed away at 72 years old.
Daughters Emily and Daisy Head said in a statement to the BBC that their father “passed away peacefully of complications due to pneumonia, surrounded by his family.”
Their statement continues, “It has been, and forever will be, an honour and a privilege to be his daughters, and to have witnessed firsthand the impact both he and his work have had on so many. We know how dearly he will be missed by friends, colleagues, and fans of the shows he was in — he loved his job very much, and he always considered himself incredibly lucky, to have been able to work alongside such exceptionally talented people, in such wonderful productions, across a career that spanned several decades.”

“Buffy” actor James Marsters writes on Instagram, “There’s a hole in the World. Anthony Head has passed on from us. He was an unflaggingly kind and steady presence on the set of Buffy, and the best actor in the cast. He was the best of us. I was lucky to have known, and learned from him. He left the world a better place for his presence. Thank you Tony for all you gave.”
