It’s almost 3 am, and I’m finishing up Volume 1 of Stranger Things season 5. Things were going great – no major characters have died yet! I was even getting into the spirit, wearing a Hellfire Club t-shirt and eating Stranger Thingsbranded Doritos. Then, BAM! My alarm clock went off right during a crucial scene with Hopper and Eleven. I was expecting a scare from the show itself, but having my alarm sound used for so long was surprisingly awful. It’s actually making me more anxious than anything else that happened in the episodes, even Vecna’s appearance or the arguments between Steve and Dustin. Stranger Things*, please, never use that alarm sound again! I want to be able to enjoy rewatching these scenes without jumping out of my skin.
