If you like Stephen King, you’ll love…the Duffer Brothers.
Ross and Matt Duffer
A creature with long arms and no face, a girl with supernatural
powers, trails of blood and a boy trapped in an alternative dimension. Up your
alley? Then check out Stranger Things, the science-fiction/horror
1980s-based TV series created, written and produced by 33-year-old twins Matt
and Ross Duffer. The brothers cite Stephen King as
a major influence; King’s It “made the biggest impact on
us,” Matt Duffer told The Hollywood Reporter. Echoed Ross: “We just devoured his
stuff when we were little.” King himself approves: After seeing the series
premiere in 2016, he tweeted, “Watching Stranger Things is
[like] watching Steve King's Greatest Hits. I mean that in a good way.”

crime against the USSR. The Soviets removed his story from school textbooks and
outlawed pilgrimages to his birthplace of Khentii.
