INT. WHEELER HOUSE – HOLLY'S BEDROOM – NIGHT
The Demogorgon's claw snaps around one of Holly's boots and drags her backwards across the carpet. Holly cries out and desperately grabs at the carpet, but the Demogorgon is far too strong. It then does something we have never seen it do before — it lunges up to the ceiling, grabs onto the lip of the Rift, and PULLS, hauling its large but limber body up through the Rift. Holly flips upside down as the Demo drags her up with it. She is about to be pulled through the Rift when at the last moment she reaches out and — WHAM!

All is not well in Hawkins. Vecna opened up a massive gate to the Upside Down and the town is in ruins. Max is in a coma; Eddie is dead; and though Hopper and Joyce are back with the kids, the group is forced to operate from the shadows. Vecna is weakened, but Will can still feel his presence. The friends are reunited and preparing to fight for their town—and their lives—together. The Duffer Brothers' critically acclaimed series, Stranger Things, took the world by storm with its 80s nostalgia, dimension-hopping secrets, and charming cast of characters. Season Five brings the story to an end.

Collected here for the first time, the complete scripts of Stranger Things: Season Five include the scenes, dialogue, and character directions for all eight episodes as well as an exclusive introduction from the creators and showrunners, Matt and Ross Duffer, aka the Duffer Brothers. Season Five's scripts reveal a unique insight into how the Duffers concluded the core good-vs-evil story that so captivated viewers and popular culture.
