[Video] Did You Catch the ‘Killer Klowns from Outer Space’ Score in “Stranger Things” Season 3?
Like the previous seasons, “Stranger Things 3” paid homage to several pop culture inspirations from the past, including John Carpenter’s The Thing and The Terminator, but one of the most fun little nods to ’80s horror probably went undetected by many…
Just weeks after Orion’s Child’s Play put a Killer Klowns from Outer Space poster on display, the third season of “Stranger Things” also paid tribute to the 1988 horror-comedy!
In the very first episode, when Eleven brings some of Dustin’s toys to life as a way of welcoming him home from camp, a snippet of John Massari‘s iconic score for Killer Klowns from Outer Space can be heard! It was Massari himself who tipped us off to this little homage.
“They contacted me months ago to work out the deal,” Massari noted over on Twitter.
Did you catch this ’80s horror Easter egg? You can watch the scene below!

“I’m the Grim Reaper” – Sam Raimi Teams with ’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Writers on Gory, Funny Webtoon Adaptation
The Wattpad/Webtoons and Grave Weaver-created series “I’m the Grim Reaper” is nearing its 200th episode, and it’s also getting a new TV series adaptation with talented names behind it. Deadline reports that celebrated filmmaker Sam Raimi is teaming up with 10 Cloverfield Lane scribes Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken on the new series.
The series follows “Scarlet, a young woman who wakes up in the ninth circle of hell with no idea how she got there. Satan offers to send Scarlet back to Earth if she’ll work as his reaper. But it doesn’t take long for Scarlet to realize that Satan’s offer is even worse than she feared.”
The story is said to fit perfectly into “Raimi’s wheelhouse, striking a deft balance between scares, gore and humor.”
Sam Raimi and Zainab Azizi will executive produce the series with Weaver, who’ll also team on the development process. Raimi may be most known for his Spider-Man and Evil Dead movies, but the filmmaker has been busy behind the scenes producing. More recently, Raimi produced this week’s action brawler Boy Kills World and last year’s 65, with Don’t Move on the way.
The “I’m the Grim Reaper” webtoon launched in 2019, delving into the humor and horrors of reaping souls in Hell. That it’s on the cusp of airing its 200th episode means no shortage of story and mythology for Campbell and Stuecken to pull from.
Stay tuned for additional details on this new series as they arrive.
