People can even view a live stream of his porch at strangerthingshouse.com.

Brown Kramer, an applied mathematician, has been tinkering with electronics and programming for a while now, and has friends who enjoy those kinds of projects.

Every time his porch receives a text, Brown Kramer gets a notification on his phone.

The array of messages has been interesting.

Some reference the show, such as "RIGHT HERE" and "RUN" — the two messages Will Byers sends his mom. Others don't, such as: "IM SORRY," "GO CUBS" and "RYAN WILL YOU MARRY ME?"

The display has drawn attention from neighbors and strangers alike.

“People will be parked out there in their cars, and we just know what they’re doing,” Brown Kramer said. “I thought the neighbors might be like, ‘Why’d you put a junky old couch on your porch?’ But my neighbors thought it was really cool."

He's happy with the results, and wouldn't mind more visitors.

“I’m hoping to get a bunch of people out here on Halloween,” he said. “I want to hear people say how cool it is. It would make all that effort worth it.

“I hope I don’t have to one-up this next year. I hope people don’t have expectations.”
