Terrifying Stranger Things season 5 trailer ‘sends shivers down spine’ with epic 80s song

After months of anticipation, the trailer for the final season of Stranger Things has finally dropped.

First hitting screens in 2016, the science fiction horror drama series quickly became one of the most popular shows on Netflix.

For the uninitiated, the show is set in the 1980s and follows the residents of the fictional small town of Hawkins, Indiana, as they are plagued by a hostile alternate dimension known as the Upside Down.

It stars Noah Schnapp, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin and Sadie Sink, who play Will, Elle, Dustin, Lucas and Max.

Since filming wrapped late last year, fans have been counting down to get a glimpse of the upcoming season – and Netflix has now delivered.

The nearly three-minute long trailer, which is backed by Queen’s Who Wants to Live Forever, begins in the Upside Down as super-villain Vecna (played by Jamie Campbell Bower) emerges from the darkness and declares: ‘We can begin.’

An aerial shot shows the town of Hawkins before while Mike tells Dustin they are ‘stuck there’, which is making him ‘lose it’.

Not far away, the Army has set up a checkpoint, with a series of scenes then showing the teenage crew off on another mission of their own. Their goal? To find Vecna and ‘end this once and for all’.

Their family and friends are understandably concerned, with unsettling supernatural forces shown taking over, with plans to ‘end the world’.

‘It’s not going to stop until we’re drained of every last ounce of suffering,’ Nancy forebodes before bursting into tears.

But one powerful ally on their side is Elle, who is seen harnessing her supernatural powers to face up against their powerful foe.

It is also teased to viewers to: ‘Get ready for one last adventure.’

However, a deadly battle then plays out, as scores of demogorgan’s emerge into the real world and start attacking all in their path as explosions are set off.

Standing over bodies of multiple soldiers, Vecna then appears and takes control of Will’s body yet again, eerily declaring he is going to ‘help me one last time’.

After tuning in, fans couldn’t wait to share their thoughts on the explosive trailer.

‘“Will, you are going to help me one last time”. Sends shivers down my spine,’ Brayden commented.

‘Vecna playing no games. I love a good villain,’ user unbraekablekicks declared.

‘There’s only one thing more terrifying than the Upside Down…realising this is the final ride with the Hawkins gang,’ Ryan shared.

Meanwhile alr4780 added: ‘Whoever picked Who Wants to Live Forever as the trailer music, give them a raise NOWW. The chills!’

Many have also speculated a major plot twist could be in store – predicting Will could become Vecna’s right-hand man.

‘The mystery behind Will Byers disappearance will finally be revealed,’ one fan suggested.

Others were emotional thinking about the fact this is the last time the gang will be together on screen.

‘Thank you Duffer brothers for allowing us to grow up alongside the characters and cast. Our childhood show will be ending and it’s so bittersweet. Actual Tears,’ Amber shared.

‘This was my childhood man. It’s sad to see the show finally come to an end and this be the last trailer we will ever get,’ vicus2275 wrote.

The upcoming final season of Stranger Things will be released in three parts – with the first four episodes coming on November 26.

Volume two will follow with three episodes on Christmas Day, and then one final episode will premiere on New Year’s Eve for volume three.

According to Dexerto, season five has cost $460million (£343m) to make, averaging at around $50m to $60m (£37m to £44m) per episode.

Stranger Things is streaming on Netflix.
