Netflix Launches a Special VHS Edition of Stranger Things
Goal: To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Stranger Things
Media: Streaming, VHS
Summary: Netflix has released a special edition of the first season of Stranger Things, emulating the look of 80s VHS tapes, to celebrate the show's 10th anniversary. This edition alters the aspect ratio from 16:9 to a nostalgic 4:3 format, resulting in a grainy, blurred image reminiscent of old video rental tapes. The Duffer Brothers, creators of the show, express that this is how the series would look if it were available at a family movie section in the 80s. They also hint at the potential for more VHS editions if the current release is successful.
