Louis Tomlinson Savagely Made Fun of Niall Horan for Being Afraid of ‘Stranger Things’

TheĀ release of Season 2 ofĀ Stranger ThingsĀ had everyone at the edge of their beds, clicking through episode after episode and dreading the suspense. But Niall Horan was…behind his pillow?

“So I started ‘stranger things’ last night and hid behind a pillow for 55 mins . Jesus that’s intense,” he tweeted Tuesday.

Fifty-five minutes is a long time, but who’s counting, right? IĀ have to admitĀ the show is pretty thrilling. Hawkins has beenĀ through itĀ when it comes to supernatural happenings and terrifying events. But comeĀ on.Ā It can’t be that bad!

Niall’s former One Direction bandmateĀ Louis TomlinsonĀ had a similar thought. He responded to Niall’s tweet with a screenshot of an article titled “Is ‘Stranger Things’ Too Scary for Kids?” He captioned his tweet, “should have read this before hand lad !”

Niall can’t be too happy about the over 46,000 retweets of Louis’sĀ burn! Who knew Louis was so funny? “Niall is lovely, Zayn has the voice, Harry is cool, Liam gets the crowd going… then there’s me,” he told The GuardianĀ in June. Well, there’s nothing forgettable about this.Ā 

Joining in on the banter, theĀ Stranger ThingsĀ Twitter account commented with a single GIF to getĀ followers laughing.Ā 

Looks like you lost this one, Niall. Spoiler alert: You can still hear what’s going on in the showĀ if you cover your face with a pillow.
