In their Entertainment Weekly cover story, Stranger Things creators the Duffer brothers aren't giving much away -- but they are dropping measured teasers about the show's second season.

Following that tantalizing Super Bowl ad promising a Halloween release, Netflix released several stills of the upcoming season.

There are obviously no plot points in the images (apart from the glorious known fact that the boys dress up as Ghostbusters for Halloween), but it's good to hear from Hawkins -- even if it's been shaken to its core.

With fans salivating for Season 2, what will that mean for the arc of the show? According to EW, the Duffers want four to five seasons.

“Everything changes as we move forward so we’ll see,” Ross Duffer told EW.

“I want it to have a really finite ending," Matt Duffer added. "I don’t want it to be one of those shows that runs out of gas and they lose it because they’re losing interest. You wanna end when you’re on top.”
