If you have the time to waste, definitely re watch all the episodes from start to finish. Yeah it might take some time, but if you’re a dedicated fan and a pro binge watcher, you’ll get through those hour long episodes in a day. By doing this you will be able to relive each and every moment of the episodes. The emotions you had when you first watched the show will arise again, leaving you in one big mess at the end. Not only does this take a physical strain on you, but also a mental one since you’ll be on an emotional rollercoaster all season long.

Connecting with others on topics you have in common is not only fun, but also relieves emotions built up inside. After going through your emotional chaos while binge watching the show, you should hit up some friends who also enjoy the show and discuss different scenes together. Whether it be moments you hated or loved, talking about it will make it so much better. If you really are a die hard fan, go ahead and plan a meetup with other Stranger Things fans. It’ll be like a book club, but better. There are even things like Stranger Things 80s parties.

Although Halloween is after the show’s premiere, why not think ahead and prepare a costume that will continue the hype even after everyone has seen it? The character Eleven was mimicked heavily last Halloween as tons of people had Eggo boxes. Even though it was done last year, a second round of Stranger Things costumes wouldn’t hurt anyone. You most likely won’t be the only one. If you just can’t wait that long and are ready to rep the show now, go ahead and dress like one of the characters on a regular day.
Hope you have fun utilizing all of these tips leading up to the big day!
