‘The Real Ghostbusters’ Inspired ‘Stranger Things: Tales from ’85’

by Rob Caprilozzi

The Stranger Things animation draws closer.

Eric Robles, showrunner of the upcoming series, took the stage at Annecy to drop some details about Stranger Things: Tales from ’85, according to a report on Deadline.

While the series will focus on the same characters as the hit series, a new character, Nikki, will be introduced. In addition, we learned that the series will take place between Season 2 and 3 of the show.

“When you are given the responsibility to create a look for a Stranger Things animation, the fear of god is put in your soul,” he said of the pressure. The streamer has just released its first Tales From ’85 logline, which reads: “Welcome back to Hawkins in the stark winter of A1985, where the original characters must fight new monsters and unravel a paranormal mystery terrorizing their town in Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, an epic new animated series.”

What helped spawn the theme of the animated series you might ask?

“It all went back to The Real Ghostbusters,” said Robles. “It was silly but had a handful of dark, creepy episodes and we just kept talking about that. That became the north star for us.”
