You may know The Upside Down inside and out, but what about the Snackside Down?

Oh yes, we're talking about the Netflix hit show Stranger Things parodied by our friends over at Sesame Street. (Warning: If you haven't finished the season and/or don't want to see any spoilers, steer clear of the 6-minute video above.)

Here's a spoiler-free summary: In Sharing Things, Cookie Monster plays the Cookiegorgon, and he's on the hunt for some treats on Halloween night. The whole crew is there with Grover playing Lucas and Ernie playing Dustin.

This isn't the first time Sesame Street has reimagined a popular franchise. There was The Walking Gingerbread, a play on The Walking Dead, and Star S'Mores, bouncing off Star Wars. And let's not forget Furry Potter and The Goblet of Cookies.
