Like the previous seasons, “Stranger Things 3” paid homage to several pop culture inspirations from the past, including John Carpenter’s The Thing and The Terminator, but one of the most fun little nods to ’80s horror probably went undetected by many…

Just weeks after Orion’s Child’s Play put a Killer Klowns from Outer Space poster on display, the third season of “Stranger Things” also paid tribute to the 1988 horror-comedy!

In the very first episode, when Eleven brings some of Dustin’s toys to life as a way of welcoming him home from camp, a snippet of John Massari‘s iconic score for Killer Klowns from Outer Space can be heard! It was Massari himself who tipped us off to this little homage.

“They contacted me months ago to work out the deal,” Massari noted over on Twitter.
