MONSTER (guttural, very deep): Don’t cry, Chrissy. It’s time . . . for your suffering . . . to end . . .
Chrissy lets out a blood-curdling scream as —
The Monster places its mutated left hand over her face and —

INT. EDDIE’S TRAILER - NIGHT
Back in the real world, Chrissy suddenly lifts up and slams into the ceiling. Eddie backs away in horror, watching helplessly as —

INT. CHRISSY’S HOUSE - KITCHEN - NIGHT (MINDSCAPE)
CLOSE ON: The Monster’s long fingers dig into Chrissy’s skin and —

INT. EDDIE’S TRAILER - NIGHT
Whoom! Chrissy flings upward — slams into the ceiling — as her body presses against the ceiling — pinned — her bones violently snap — her eyes pour blood — then suck inward — and . . .

The gang has split up. Eleven and the Byers family are in California, navigating a new life and dealing with Eleven’s struggle to regain her powers. Hopper is in a snowy Russian prison. Max and Lucas have broken up, and Lucas has new friends on the basketball team. Dustin and Mike have joined the Hellfire Club at Hawkins High. And Vecna is making himself known in Hawkins.

The Duffer Brothers’ critically acclaimed series, Stranger Things, took the world by storm with its 80s nostalgia, dimension-hopping secrets, and charming cast of characters. Season Four brings more backstory for Eleven, Eddie’s epic guitar solo, demobats, Vecna’s curse, Russian prisoner escapes, and Max’s favorite song, “Running Up That Hill” by Kate Bush, along with all the usual teenage angst, bullying, and unrequited love. Our favorite friends are fighting on all fronts but their greatest battle is yet to come.

Collected here for the first time, the complete scripts of Stranger Things: Season Four include the scenes, dialogue, and character directions for all nine episodes as well as an exclusive introduction from the creators and showrunners, Matt and Ross Duffer, aka the Duffer Brothers. Season Four’s scripts reveal a unique insight into how the Duffers built on the core good-vs-evil story that so captivated viewers and popular culture.
