In an alternate reality somewhere -- an Upside Down, if you will -- there is a version of Stranger Things that exclusively stars hamsters.

Hamster Wynona Ryder paces frantically through her tiny living room wondering about the whereabouts of her hamster son, Will. Meanwhile, at a tiny McMansion across town, a Hamster Barb seated poolside contemplates her friendship with Hamster Nancy.

And in the woods outside of Hawkins, Indiana, Hamster Eleven gnaws on little Eggo waffles and plots her next move.
