Aww yeah! We’ve been waiting for season three of Stranger Things to come out on July 4th ever since, well, we binge-watched the entire second season when it premiered October 27th, 2017.

That’s an entire 615 days of eager anticipation.

No matter if you’ve already binged the new season (replay!), haven’t watched it yet, or have never seen the series (in that case, lucky you! You’ve got three whole amazing seasons to take down), we’ve come up with a creepy list to foods to get you in the mood to cheer for Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Will, Eleven, and crew as they try to finish off that pesky Demogorgon for good!

Go ahead, put together a plate of these creepy delights, and invite your friends over for a late-night viewing party – we dare you!
Reader/viewer discretion is advised – if you’ve got a weak stomach then you may not want to scroll any further!

The small Cambodian village of Skuon loves these palm-sized black tarantulas known as a-ping. Get ’em stir-fried to a nice and crispy level along with some garlic and chilli for flavour. Bonus points if you pick out hairy legs with your toothpick one whole episode later.

Yikes, if this image isn’t enough to get you ready for a scary show, we don’t know what is. You can thank the Indonesians for this creepy delicacy. It’ll definitely set the mood for Stranger Things.

There’s nothing like cracking open an egg to discover a partially developed duck embryo. Wait, it’s not an accident? We’re actually supposed to eat this crunchy morsel, feathers and all? Gross. It definitely beats out a ‘Deviled Egg’ for pure evilness.

Ok, ok, so the duck embryo in the egg was too much. How about this Chinese delicacy then? Just take regular eggs, cover them with a special mixture of quicklime, clay, salt, and ash, and let them sit and cure for months and months. That’s a good idea, right? Even though some people swear by them, we’re not huge fans of the taste and texture. The Demogorgon can have them all.

Everybody likes tacos, right? Well, how about if instead of flank steak or chicken, your tortillas were filled with the eggs of the giant, black, venomous Liometopum ant? That changes things a little bit. This filling is commonly mixed with guacamole down south in Mexico. Yum.
Alright. On second thought maybe it’s just better to order up a pizza and a 6-pack of beer for the show. We can help with that.
