'Stranger Things' Season 3: Fan theory on teaser trailer suggests Starcourt Mall could be a trap for Eleven

A fan theory speculates that the Starcourt Mall in Stranger Things Season 3's teaser trailer is a trap by the CIA to catch Eleven, even as it reflects the youth culture of the 80s
PUBLISHED SEP 14, 2018

Lately, nothing seems to be more bizarre than the official teaser trailer of 'Stranger Things' Season 3. The pop culture throwback show, which garnered a huge cult following in its two seasons helmed by The Duffer Brothers, seems to be entering the phase where its characters are now young adults. Soon, they will be of the age where they stumble through various chapters of non-conformity.

However, instead of giving us a glimpse of the characters, the sneak peek actually teases us with what seems like nothing but a commercial to promote Starcourt Mall.
