Stephen King had some very nice words for Stranger Things 4 after he watched Part 1. On Twitter, the Horror icon gave his initial thoughts. He enjoyed the Carrie shout-out in the season, but also expressed some sadness that there was going to be a wait for Part 2. King is probably not alone in that fact. A lot of the fans online were surprised to reach the end of Part 1 and discover a glorified “to be continued” at the end. But, July 1st will be here before you know it! Still, the Stranger Things writers room has gotten used to high-profile shout-outs from other celebrities. So, they had to respond. It’s probably one of those situations where there’s at least one huge fan of the horror writer’s output in the room. You can check out what King had to say about the latest batch of episodes right here.

The new season of STRANGER THINGS is really cool–as good or better than the previous three. There’s even a CARRIE riff.Is it the whole season or is it another one of those that’s broken into 2 parts? IMHO that’s kind of lame.
