Since the new season of "Stranger Things" has been out, there have been many new and interesting facts revealed about the "Stranger Things" plot! The producers are very creative; let’s see if you knew or noticed these 19 facts about "Stranger Things!"

1. It was created by twin brothers Matt and Ross Duffer.

2. The show was originally called Montauk.

It took place on Long Island in 1980, but the Duffers had to change the show's location when they realized it would be too difficult to shoot there in winter.

3. The Montauk Project inspired the show.

It was about a government experiment that took place in the 80s and involved kidnapping children from Long Island to experiment on them. Read more about it here.

4. The Upside Down’s real name is called the Nether.

But they got so used to calling it the "Upside Down" on set, it stuck, Millie Bobby Brown revealed in "Beyond Stranger Things." The same thing happened with the Shadow Monster in Season 2; it's supposed to be called the Mind Flayer.

5. Joyce’s Hairstyle was inspired by Meryl Streep in Silkwood.

6. Steve was supposed to be “the biggest douchebag on the planet.”

Joe Keery was much more likable and charming than they all envisioned, so they changed his character a bit.

7. Millie Bobby Brown once showed up to set covered in glitter.

It held up production for a half hour.

8. They used 1,200 pounds of Epsom salts to get Brown to float in a kiddie pool.

9. An average of 8.8 million people watched "Stranger Things 2" in its first three days on Netflix. And, 361,000 people watched all nine episodes in its first 24 hours.

10. Dacre Montgomery danced shirtless to “Come on Eileen” in his audition tape for Stranger Things 2.

11. Bob was supposed to die much earlier in Season 2.

But they liked him so much they kept him alive until episode 8 instead. And originally, Will was supposed to kill Bob!

12. Hopper's trailer reportedly only cost the art department $1 to buy.

13. The series was shot on a digital cinema camera, but to achieve the vintage look, they added a layer of scanned film grain to the coloring process.

14. The Duffer brothers have a 30-page document that maps what the Upside Down is and the nature of the monster.

15. The radio channel Hop uses to communicate with Eleven with is channel 11.

16. Mrs. Wheeler's romance novel cover was apparently photoshopped to look like Billy.

17. Speaking of Season 1, the scene where the kids are playing Dungeons & Dragons in the very first episode lines up creepily perfect with the Demogorgon scene in Episode 8.

18. The word "evil" is clearly written on the bathroom stall when Dustin finally finds Dart.

19. The book Hop reads to Eleven in Season 2 is Anne of Green Gables, which is the same book he read to his daughter Sara in Season 1.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
