The Opening: An Echo to the 1980s

The segment, named The Crawl, transports viewers to the origins of the story in the early '80s, following the loss of Will Byers.

"Do I remain or leave?" he vocalizes in an effort to remain composed in the Upside Down.

Things quickly become terrifying when a monstrous creature emerges and yanks Will to the stronghold of the villain. "Finally, we can begin," he says to Will as propelling a tendril through his esophagus. "We together, we shall create such beautiful deeds in unison."

Adding to their mission, the government has put Hawkins under strict lockdown and intensified the search for the heroine, forcing her back into hiding. As the yearly mark of the boy's vanishing looms, arrives a profound, familiar dread. The last showdown is on the horizon – and accompanying it, a darkness stronger and more deadly than anything they've faced before. To stop this nightmare, they will require each person – the full party – united, for the final time."
