This is how “Stranger Things” weaponized ’80s nostalgia in the 2010s, and pulled in viewers born decades after the heyday of food courts, arcades and cassette tapes.
To keep viewers immersed in their version of the 1980s, producers of the sci-fi horror series “Stranger Things” built their biggest shrine to the decade yet: a shopping mall.
To replicate a mall from 1985—the year when the third season of the Netflix show unfolds—the production team resurrected part of one outside Atlanta. They created the Starcourt Mall for the show’s fictional town of Hawkins, Ind., and filled it with shops like Radio Shack, Waldenbooks and Sam Goody. Season 3 will be released July 4.
