Stranger Things star Gaten Matarazzo appeared on Thursday night's episode of The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon to talk trick-or-treating, his last year of school, and where he hopes Dustin will end up in the fourth season of Stranger Things.

Matarazzo claimed to be in the dark about the popular Netflix series' next season, telling Fallon, "I have no idea what any of [the teaser] means. No, genuinely, I do not. I want to know."

But if it were up to him, he'd give his character Dustin a break from the constant horrors of The Upside Down.

"I want Dustin to be completely out of the loop... for like the whole season," said Matarazzo. "Maybe that just means that Dustin's in Florida and, like, every 20 minutes it just cuts to him on Space Mountain."

Fallon also persuaded Matarazzo to join him in a somewhat chaotic performance of 'The Never Ending Story', which was recently brought back to public attention when Matarazzo and costar Gabriella Pizzolo sang it in the show's third season.

"Can you believe we didn't plan that, guys?" Fallon joked afterward. "We really proved it!"
