The Stranger Things <\/b><\/i>writer’s room responds to a tweet from the King of Horror himself Stephen King after he asked why season 4 was split into two parts. In terms of authority figures, there is perhaps none greater than Stephen King, whose books have sold millions of copies and defined horror fiction. With a catalog that includes some of the greatest scary stories ever put to the page, including Carrie, Salem’s Lot, Pet Semetary <\/i>and The Shining<\/i>King’s work has influenced not only authors but also filmmakers across the world.<\/p>\n
It’s no surprise then, that King’s influence can be found all over Stranger Things<\/i>. <\/i>With the release of season 4 part 1 last Friday, and the upcoming release of part 2 on July 1, the King-inspired small town of Hawkins, Indiana has once again brought the scares. Much of what King first pioneered has become a staple of Stranger Things, <\/i>and the writer’s fingerprints are all over the show’s episodes, particularly the storyline of children being pursued by a monster, which is straight out of It<\/i>. However, King took to Twitter recently to question why Stranger Things <\/i>season 4 is split into two parts while praising the show. The prolific author praised the new season, saying it’s “as good or better than the previous three”<\/em> before adding that it’s “kind of lame<\/em>“that the new season is split into two parts.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
