'Stranger Things' virtual reality video transports us back to the Upside Down
Watch Next

If you've already binge-watched this summer's hit series, Stranger Things, on Netflix, you're probably already craving more of its '80s science fiction awesomeness. But while there's no word on if or when a Season 2 might happen, there's a bit more Stranger Things content out there that you might have missed -- because it's in the world of virtual reality.

Earlier this week, Netflix quietly posted a short, two-minute VR experience on YouTube that takes us back into the home of the Byers family as they receive a phone call from the Upside Down dimension. The VR environment is a perfect replica of the set in the series and the creepy atmospherics instantly transport you back into the Stranger Things world despite the different platform.

We won't spoil the ending here, but it's pretty effective if you've already seen the series. For best results, be sure to use Chrome or Google Cardboard — and be careful, Eleven won't be there save you.
