The final Stranger Things 2 trailer showed the majority of the starring cast gearing up for a battle in Joyce’s home.
The Duffer Brothers have also teased that The Shadow Monster may not be vanquished at the end of Season 2, but that it may end up carrying over to future seasons.
Hopper has an assault weapon, Nancy has a hunting rifle, and Steve once again is rocking the nail filled baseball bat.
And that does make sense; after all it’s going to be very difficult to attempt to vanquish such a giant and presumably non palpable monster.
