This clip is from the show Stranger Things on Netflix. I chose this clip because that scene still gives me chills after watching the whole show a few times over even though I finished the whole season. This clip demonstrates Gothic Terror as we observe Will running for his life while terrified of the creature(Mind Flayer) coming after him. As we see Will running out of fear, the setting, and the background of the building Will was running through contributes to making this scene Gothic, it’s dark, quiet, gloomy and there were shadow-like roots growing on the wall throughout the hallway as the shadow monster chase after Will which builds up terror in the scene. In the end, we hear Will plead “Go away” and still get possessed by the shadow monster. (Innocence Betrayed)
