Netflix Hit 'Stranger Things' Spreads Its Promotional Tentacles to Facebook

Just like Maxine in Stranger Things 2, Facebook didn't want to be left out of the cool kids group, which, in this case, is the mobile AR space.

The effect follows the photo filter that Netflix sponsored with Snapchat concurrent with the show's second season premiere last week.
