Stranger Things Season 3 Inspired by Fletch
David Harbour says that Stranger Things Season 3 is inspired by the Chevy Chase movie Fletch, in which a chameleonic reporter uses several disguises to go undercover as he investigates a murder plot.

"The Duffers are so specific each year with the movies. And Fletch is one movie we get to play around and have some fun with this season, which you wouldn't expect from Stranger Things, and you wouldn’t expect from the Spielberg universe, and you certainly wouldn’t expect from a darker season," Harbour said.
