Upgrade Your Halloween Playlist With This Childish Gambino–Stranger Things Mashup

Halloween is approaching, and if you’ve been on the hunt for something less clichéd than “Thriller” and way cooler than “Monster Mash,” your playlist is about to get a serious upgrade. Mashup expert kmlkmljkl has laid Childish Gambino’s vocals from Camp track “Bonfire” over Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein's theme from Stranger Things. The result—a perfect mix of eerie synths with Gambino’s acidic bars—is exactly the Halloween jam we’ve been looking for:

Gambino—aka writer/actor/comedian Donald Glover—has a hit show of his own on the air, not to mention he’s been cast in a still-undisclosed role in Spider-Man: Homecoming and as Lando Calrissian in the upcoming Han Solo movie. But maybe he can make room in that busy schedule of his for a cameo in Stranger Things, Season 2.
