I don't care for the horror genre at all… 80s slasher films, chainsaw massacre, saw… non of it. But I am an 80s kid and love The Goonies, E.T., etc plus I like Lost and mystery/thrillers.

I heard Stranger Things is incredibly nostalgic and enjoyable, but is it enjoyable for a non Horror fan?

It has way more in common with ET and The Goonies than anything horror.

Absolutely. It's not a horror at all. If you can get through ET, you can get through Stranger Things.

It's really not horror, more of fantasy/adventure with some suspense/mystery of sci fi mixed in. If you like all those shows & the 80s, you'll love it. It does a great job capturing that time period. Like others said, think of a mix of Goonies, E.T., and maybe some X-Files.

Very little horror. It's got some "scary" parts but it's more ET than anything. I only covered my eyes during the teen love scene. Skeezed me right the hell out.

On episode 6, it's fricking awesome. Very suspenseful but not horror.

As has been said, it's not horror, it's pretty much E.T. and Goonies combined.
