This summer has been a breakthrough for streaming.

There's no mystery about how millions of fans of Netflix's sci-fi drama “Stranger Things” spent their Memorial Day weekend.

After a pandemic-related absence of a year, Halloween Horror Nights are back with haunted houses based on the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “The Bride of Frankenstein” planned for Universal theme parks in California and Florida.

Gwinnett Place Mall in Duluth, Georgia decorated as the Starcourt Mall from Stranger Things 3.

The report counted a jump in the number of tobacco depictions from the first season of "Stranger Things" to the second -- from 182 to 262.
