Designed as a training tool for students, it produces roughly enough energy to power a toaster. But you needn’t worry about producing irradiated offspring that look like demogorgons. Those desiring a really close look can arrange a tour of the facility, which ends with guests standing in a circle around the reactor containment vessel, with their private parts pressed against its metal sides. Named PUR-1, it lurks at the bottom of a circular cooling pool in the basement of the School of Nuclear Engineering, humming and emitting an otherworldly blue glow. Purdue is home to Indiana’s first and only nuclear reactor. Here are 11 (see what we did there?) Boilermaker oddities.
But even though she’s only attending virtually, some of the darker, weirder, or just downright peculiar corners of the university’s West Lafayette campus would make the sci-fi/horror veteran feel right at home. IN A SHOCKING example of life imitating art, 18-year-old Millie Bobby Brown, who plays the telekinetic, Eggo-scarfing, nosebleed-prone Eleven in the Indiana-set Netflix hit Stranger Things, recently revealed in an interview with Allure she is now an online student at Purdue University, studying human services.

I don't know that there's a bounce back from that!" he told Esquire back in 2017 The fight still goes on, on Twitter anyway, and conspiracy theories abound about poor hapless BFF Barbara Holland. But as Will had a funeral and still made it back to Hawkins alive some wonder if the same may happen to Barb? Executive producer Shaun Levy is not so sure.
#11 STRANGER THINGS PROFESSIONAL#
"I didn’t even have a career before Stranger Things – it was my first acting job, my first time on a professional set, and my character wasn’t even supposed to be a big deal – it all just exploded.” In an interview with The Guardian, Shannon Purser who played Barb, was floored by the outpouring of love for her character. Fans thought Barb didnt get what she deserved and the #justice4barb movement was created. In Season 1, Barb was dragged to the Upside Down by the Demigorgon and her body was found and later buried. No article on Stranger Things would be complete without mentioning fan favourite Barb. Also, music from Close Encounters of the Third Kind was played in the nighttime junkyard scene to bring an eerie feel to the set. Spooky music was played to the three-year-old actress who played Mike Wheeler's younger sister as she walked down the Byers' creepy corridor in season 1, so she would look freaked out. “Playing music on set sometimes is just a good visceral way to give the actors a sense of what you’re looking for," he told the Beyond Stranger Things companion show. Interestingly, music was also used as a device to get the actors into character, according to executive producer and director Shaun Levy, It's also a protest song and its no coincidence it's played as Eleven is running from the agents in season 1. Will Byers' signature tune, for instance, is Should I Stay or Should I Go? by The Clash, mirroring the character's feelings of being caught in two places.Įleven has the multi-layered White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane, which references Alice in Wonderland, a story of a girl who goes underground (the Upside Down) and gets lost. Individual characters have their own songs. Music plays an important part in Stranger Things from the eerie synth title music to the pop classics played on ghetto blasters around Hawkins.
