We wanted to do something that was heavy and wet, but not traumatizing.

“The thing is The Thing, and The Thing was the thing, but one point of departure was for it to be gory, but not 100 percent serious - edgy and funny, but not cruel. “Working on Stranger Things is like we’re all a bunch of 16-year-olds playing,” visual effects supervisor Paul Graff told Vulture.

From there, it took three to four months for the show’s artists and visual effects team to develop the disgusting “Goo Monster,” which came to have several other nicknames internally, including the Goop, Gore Spider, and Spider Monster. It all began with the Duffer Brothers’ inspiration: John Carpenter’s 1982 film The Thing, which memorably features a dog that can take the shape of its victims. The gooey rat blobs merge into what’s arguably the series’s most memorable, and definitely its grossest, monster creation to date, so Vulture set out to learn what went into making these menacing rodent splotches and the resulting “Goo Monster.” As we learn early in the season, the rats of Hawkins have taken to eating fertilizer and other toxic chemicals, which (spoiler alert) leads to them exploding into blobs of goo capable of fusing with other blobs to create the huge, slimy embodiment of the Mind Flayer that terrorizes our heroes. The breakout characters of Stranger Things 3 - besides Maya Hawke’s Robin and Hopper’s floral shirt - are a bunch of exploding rats. Yup, definitely just a normal, not-exploded rat, nothing to see here, folks.
