Netflix Addresses ‘Stranger Things’ Secret Episode Theory After Series Finale
What could be worse than vowing to spend forever with the wrong person?
Well, Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen creator Haley Z. Boston came up with quite a few things that register as more terrifying than saying “I do” to someone who isn’t who you thought they were. But the blood-soaked horror that unfolds in the new Netflix series is inspired by a very real concern that has kept more than a few people up at night.
Boston included.
“When I was a kid, my mom said to me, ‘You just need to make sure you don’t marry the wrong person,’” she told Netflix’s Tudum. “The show is about the fear of marrying the wrong person.”
And her own parents’ marriage—”They’ve been together for 37 years or something,” the Oregon native told the Los Angeles Times—only exacerbated her worries.
“I felt all this pressure knowing that exists,” Boston explained. “It always felt like a curse. You have this great example of what a marriage is, and I always found myself weighing every little romantic tryst against this 30-year marriage—which was unhelpful.”
Even attending her friends’ nuptials just felt…off.
