The 'Stranger Things' team gutted and rebuilt about 40 stores and restaurants to create Starcourt Mall. Now, it may be converted into a cricket stadium 😳

. “It’s a massive mall that’s slowly been collapsing on itself for probably the 30 years it’s existed.”

They also created a movie theater facade and a number of kiosks in the atrium. The most fun part of the project was probably the Scoops Ahoy shop, which they got to build from scratch. “It was our special little baby.” Trujillo said the Duffers specifically wanted to included the fictional Scoops Ahoy ice cream parlor, as well as a Gap and some approximation of a Glamour Shots photo studio. Beyond that, it was largely up to him to decide which stores would be featured at the Starcourt and serve as “hero locations” for the characters.

Even though he tries to avoid internet scrutiny, Trujillo was “painfully aware of the fact that each frame is being picked apart by someone who is obsessing over the details” and looking for anachronisms, he said. “We definitely feel under the microscope, especially when it comes to getting these really specific period details in a space like a mall where everybody has a memory of it.

They could’ve just used the Westside Pavillion!!?!?
