We dug up the best retro-style movie posters in honor of 'Stranger Things'

There’s no doubt Stranger Things has an awesome storyline, but there’s no doubt the absolutely magical look and feel of Netflix’s latest blockbuster series is what seems to have people hooked. The retro sensibility channeling the Spielberg and King is so entrancing, in fact, that someone even put up an entire website that lets you write script in the same design as the show’s ultra-cool logo.

But this old-school callback to vintage cool isn’t something new. In fact, it’s seen a massive push in the past several years by especially in the movie poster scene. We’ve created a gallery of our 10 favorite retro-style movie posters and their artists. Some of these are new, some old, but all of them will look awesome on your wall. Check them out — and mind your checking account, most of them are only available for a pretty penny on eBay.
