Stranger Things: Eastbourne resident creates demogorgon replica for Halloween

Forget your usual skeleton and spider Halloween decorations, one Eastbourne resident handmade a replica of a ‘demogorgon’ from Netflix’s Stranger Things.

Deanna Kisler, from Old Town, spent three weeks crafting a ‘life-sized’ version of the hit TV show’s monster from newspaper and cardboard.

The terrifying creation greeted trick-or-treaters outside Deanna’s home, alongside a grave stone and a pumpkin carved with the Stranger Things logo.

The 27-year-old waitress said she has been a ‘huge fan’ of Stranger Things since it was released back in 2016.

She said: “With the new season being released at the end of this month I was wondering if I could challenge myself to make a life size demogorgon.

“And I did! Just in time for Halloween.”

Deanna said the response from people ‘was amazing’.

"[It was] better than I thought,” she said. "I couldn’t believe how many people wanted to come up and take photos of it.”
