Season 3 of “Stranger Things” brought us a legit ’80s mall! Hawkins, Indiana’s Starcourt Mall was the center of most of the mindflaying action that went down this season.
If you haven’t gotten the scoop on season 3 yet, you’re in luck. You can binge-watch the entire season on Netflix over the weekend–then you’ll totally want to try these sailors from Stranger Things costume for Halloween this year!
This season has the Hawkins teens hanging out in the new mall in town, enjoying a monster-free summer–or so they would have us believe.
