"Stranger Things" Season 2 References and Easter Eggs39 of 51
The Evil Dead ("Chapter Five: Dig Dug")
There are a few references throughout "Stranger Things" to Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead (1981), of which the poster was on Jonathan's wall in Season 1. In this season, Eleven looking under the floorboards of the cabin in the woods could be a nod. But the image of a swing swaying in front of a house and the vines that pin down Hopper are more blatant references to the horror classic.
Also, the moment in "Chapter Eight: The Mind Flayer", when the camera zooms toward the Byers house, recalls a scene from The Evil Dead.
