Netflix addresses ‘Stranger Things’ secret episode theory after series finale
What could be worse than vowing to spend eternity with the wrong person?
Well, Haley Z. Boston, author of Something Very Bad Happens, has come up with a lot of things scarier than saying “I do” to someone who isn’t who you thought they were. But the gory horror unfolding in Netflix’s new series is inspired by very real concerns that are keeping many people up at night.
Including Boston.
“When I was a kid, my mom said to me, ‘You have to be careful not to marry the wrong person,'” she told Netflix’s TuDum. “This show is about the fear of marrying the wrong person.”
And her own parents’ marriage — “They’ve been together for 37 years or so,” the Oregon native told the Los Angeles Times — compounded her anxiety.
“When I found out about it, I felt this pressure,” Boston explained. “It always felt like a curse. I have a great example of what marriage is all about, but I always found myself weighing the last 30 years of marriage against every little romantic endeavor, and it didn’t help.”
Even attending her friend’s wedding just didn’t feel right.
