Can you guess which Netflix show this eerie billboard is advertising?

Unless you've been living in the upside-down, you've probably heard of the award-winning Netflix series Stranger Things. The show took off back in 2016 with its nostalgic '80s aesthetic and spooky sci-fi storyline, and has been gathering up quite the following ever since. Now there's a new season on the horizon, and Netflix is already gearing up for the release with some pretty impressive marketing. 

The show revolves around a group of teenagers who attempt to recover their friend from a parallel universe called the upside-down (it's way scarier than it sounds, I promise). With this in mind, the streaming giant has shared an image of its latest Stranger Things billboard (see above), and it's pretty clever (and eerie). Looking for some more inspiration?
