Just two weeks before the highly anticipated premiere of Stranger Things 5, Netflix has given fans a special treat. The streaming giant has released the first five minutes of the final season's opening episode, providing a glimpse into the show's past and a tantalizing preview of what's to come.
The flashback sequence takes viewers back to November 1983, when a 12-year-old Will Byers was still trapped in the Upside Down after being abducted by the Demogorgon. The scene revisits the iconic moment from Season 1 when Will was hiding in Castle Byers, singing "Should I Stay or Should I Go" to comfort himself. However, his respite is short-lived, as the Demogorgon soon discovers his hiding spot and attacks.
