While the general consensus on "Stranger Things 2" is that it doesn?t quite live up to its phenomenal first season, there?s still not a lot of negativity being thrown at the show. But one person who isn?t parsing their enjoyment of the new installment is legendary horror writer Stephen King, whose books and the movies based on his books have been a source of endless inspiration for the show. ?He?s amazing,? Matt Duffer told The Hollywood Reporter at the time. ?And when he tweeted about Stranger Things, I was trying not to cry, because that was right before the premiere and it really f**ked me up." "Stranger Things" has touched on elements from King?s work from "Firestarter" to "It" to "The Mist" and "Stand By Me." While the author has had iffy taste regarding some of his adaptations he?s been very on board with everything "Stranger Things" show creators the Duffer Brothers have been doing since the beginning.
