A lot of strange things happen in Hawkins, Indiana on the hit Netflix show, ‘Stranger Things’ 

BUT IF YOUR NAME STARTS WITH A ‘B’, YOU’RE IN CONSIDERABLE DANGER!!!

At current count, 5 significant characters have been killed, all with names starting with the letter B!

Benny Hammond, the kindly restaurant owner who cared for Eleven in the first episode was first, shot in the head by one of Dr. Brennan’s henchmen, Connie Frazier.

Then who could forget poor Barbara Holland, Nancy’s BFF, who is the 1st person we see truly attacked and killed by the Demogorgon.

Perhaps the hardest to watch? Joyce’s boyfriend Bob Newby, who in season 2, was mauled to death by Demodogs while trying to escape Hawkin’s lab.

Maybe it wasn’t as sad when Bruce Lowe, the misogynist journalist who was a jerk to Nancy in S3, met a gruesome end due to the Mind Flayer, but it does fit the pattern.

Lastly, there’s poor Billy Hargrove, Max’s stepbrother, who at least got to play the hero before dying in battle against the Mind Flayer.

So far as we know, no one in season 4 is cursed with a ‘B’ name, 

and in fact, Dr. Brenner, who was thought dead in season 1, is poised to possibly return. So maybe there is hope after all?
