Make Your Own STRANGER THINGS Title Screens

There is so much to love about Netlflix’s latest hit Stranger Things, whether it’s the soundtrack, the science (fiction), or the cast’s musical endeavors.

The title text has become so beloved because it evokes so well the genre and time period it represents, with its old-school typeface and neon-like glow.

The title card was inspired by horror books and movies of the ’80s, and the font they went with was ITC Benguiat, which you’ve seen on the covers of the Choose Your Own Adventure books and Paramount’s FBI piracy warning screen that shows up before your movie starts.

Watch that video below, and don’t forget to make your own Stranger Things title screen (and tweet your best ones to @nerdist).
