Getting flowers for Valentine\u2019s Day is generally a pain, but the trailer for Stranger Things: Tales From \u201985<\/a> second season is here to suggest that we last-minute romantics needn\u2019t complain so much; at least we don\u2019t have to deal with ghost flowers.<\/p>\n

Boosted by an epic-pants rendition of New Order\u2019s \u201cBlue Monday\u201d\u2014chosen to complement the spectral blue flowers illuminating the woods outside Hawkins, Indiana, naturally\u2014the trailer features another peculiarity-festooned adventure for the Hawkins Investigators Club, who face scary ghosts, eerie foliage, and a monster that sure looks like the Life Is Strange version of the M\u00f6dr creature from the 2017 Netflix horror film Relic.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Indeed, the H.I.C. are up against the Upside Down yet again in this animated spinoff of the recently concluded horror series, with its returning vocal cast\u2014Brooklyn Davey Norstedt\u2019s Eleven, Jolie Hoang-Rappaport\u2019s Max, Luca Diaz\u2019s Mike, Elisha \u201cEJ\u201d Williams\u2019 Lucas, Braxton Quinney\u2019 Dustin, Ben Plessala\u2019 Will, Brett Gipson\u2019 Hopper, Odessa A\u2019zion\u2019s Nikki Baxer, Janeane Garofalo\u2019s Anna Baxter, and Lou Diamond Phillips\u2019s Daniel Fischer\u2014navigating the in-between of its live-action bigger sibling\u2019s larger events, often to diminishing effect.<\/a><\/p>\n

The second season, which will feature eight 30-minute episodes, begins on September 17.
