As Collider puts it, "The biggest surprise of Netflix’s breakout hit is the massive outpouring of love for the retro font featured in the title sequence," which they explain is known as ITC Benguiat. So, you know, the fact that you can now use it at your own whim is just about the best thing a fan could ask for. But, what should it be used for? Well, Arrow writer Brian Ford Sullivan shared a tweet reimagining what the show's title would look like, and I thought that was an inspired idea. I took his lead and tried it on a few other shows, you know, for some creepy fun.

Here are some of your most favorite shows, past and present, that have been reimagined with the Stranger Things font. Because it gives these shows an entirely different, stranger feel:
