Without getting into Stranger Things spoilers, all you need to know about the show’s grandfather clock chimes is that it signals a potential for very bad things to happen – cue cult horror film callbacks that The Duffer Brothers love to pay homage to.
To avoid getting into the nitty gritty parts of Netflix’s hit show, you simply don’t want to hear those chimes. And if you do, then you best have your iPod on deck nearby.
