The creature that snatched him is on his mom's trail. At this point, Joyce has no inkling of the alternate dimension, so she's understandably confused. "What should I do? How do I get to you?" Joyce begs –- but Will has no time to explain. "Where are you?" she asks in season 1's "Chapter Three: Holly Jolly." "Right here," Will spells in reply.

Disbelief and appearances be damned, Joyce turns as resourceful as the 1980s TV hero MacGyver and rigs up her own supernatural Speak 'n Spell. She scrawls the alphabet on her living room wall and hangs Christmas lights above the letters so that she can talk to her boy again.

Joyce Byers may be a frazzled single mom working for minimum wage, but she's sharp enough to figure out that the electrical flickers and other oddities around her house are Will trying to communicate with her. Here are our picks for the most paused moments in Stranger Things.

Although this series is eminently binge-worthy, there are some moments we watch and pause more than others, usually related to characters that audiences have grown to love. The American Film Institute in 2018 named it one of the Television Programs of the Year.

Through three seasons, the show has become a pop culture phenomenon inspiring everything from Halloween costumes to ice cream -– and raking in awards for its ensemble cast, music, and editing. Rather, "hard-won connections with other human beings can be a balm in a sea of confusion."

Like the alternate dimension unleashed upon the fictional town of Hawkins, Stranger Things had more in mind than simply plotting out the next jump scare, even with monsters as riveting as the petal-headed Demogorgon. Writer-directors the Duffer brothers created the series as a " love letter" to the genre stories of Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, and Stephen King - but as critics noted, this entertaining show wasn't "just another example of dutiful, uninspired imitation run amok." Netflix's science fiction/horror series Stranger Things took audiences by storm in the summer of 2016 with its mix of 1980s nostalgia, an endearing ensemble cast, and an engrossing mystery within a small Indiana town turned upside down.
