“My decision to interrupt my well-deserved rest was influenced by the fact that my wife and I really loved this show. There are so many projects now where terrible people do terrible things for materialistic reasons. Stranger Things is a very heartwarming series. That positivity really touched me,” Darabont said.

The director recently explained how he shot the most disgusting scene in The Shawshank Redemption, in which Andy Dufresne falls into a pool of sewage. Read here what the film crew actually had to do.
