Netflix tries to recapture Stranger Things magic with nostalgic re-release

Netflix has released a 'VHS Special Edition' of the first season of Stranger Things to celebrate the show's 10th anniversary. The re-release uses filters and aspect ratio adjustments to mimic the aesthetic of 1980s home video rentals.
