Praise be to Cthulhu, kiddies, for Stranger Things season 2 is nigh! Today’s monster is, of course, the fearsome Demogorgon from Netflix’s instant classic horror series, which returns this Friday. If you haven’t watched the first season yet, do it. Do it now. You are missing out on some amazing horror. GO.

Now, I refuse to keep this curiosity door locked any longer, so let us proceed with the monster photos.

Prepare yourselves, kiddies, because the monsters are going to get bigger and scarier very soon. How excited are you for the new season? How many Elevens and Dustins do you think you’ll see at Halloween parties? How tired are you of frozen waffle jokes? Tell me all about it in the comments.
