Will’s Close Encounter ("Chapter One: MADMAX")
After the Byers family has gone to bed, Will wakes up and walks to the front door, which opens as light glows through the window. The scene is reminiscent of Steven Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), where a young boy is drawn to the light outside his front door and taken by aliens. The Duffers have also compared the obsessive approach of Joyce Byers to that of Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) in Close Encounters.
