Netflix is aware of just how excited fans are for the new season and, that being the case, they’ve decided to include a funStranger Things Easter eggon their app that turns Netflix into the Upside Down.
ThisStranger ThingsEaster egg was spotted by fans on Reddit and it’s something that you may check out for yourself, if you so choose. First head on over to the Netflix website, then do a search forStranger Things. When the show comes up, click the down arrow, which can be seen under theStranger Thingsicon. This brings you to the show’s details page. Once on the page, you’ll see a glowing red light emanating from the side of the screen on the right. It’s pretty tough to miss if you know to look for it. Click the red light and bingo! You’re transported to Netflix’s version ofthe Upside Down.
As one might imagine, this turns Netflix, well, upside down. The Upside Down was the entire crux ofStranger Things season 1, so this is the perfect Easter egg for Netflix to throw on their website for obsessive fans. So, what happens if you try and use Netflix’s version of the Upside Down? If you try and interact with the page further, you’ll find it doesn’t want to cooperate. Instead, scary sounds and images appear. And maybe, just maybe, there’s a nice little jump scare waiting for you.
