Warning: contains Stranger Things Season 4 spoilers.
When the Stranger Things gang needed weaponry to fight off the Upside Down’s demobats in Season 4 Vol. I, they stopped off at the Byers house to pick up Nancy’s gun collection. There, they made two major discoveries. The first was how to communicate between the Upside Down and the normal world through lightbulbs, like Will did in Season 1.
The second discovery was that the Upside Down – previously thought to be a copy of the normal world where time ran in parallel – was stuck in the past. Specifically, time there had stopped moving forwards on November 6th 1983, the exact date that Will Byers went missing after Eleven opened a gate to the Upside Down. Nancy realises it when her bedroom décor is outdated and still contains toys, shoes and revision notes that she no longer owns in 1986, and her guns aren’t there.
