Business Insider reports that the series's Hawkins, Indiana, location was inspired by the story of an abandoned government Air Force station located in Montauk, New York. The original facility was reportedly a place where people were subjected to experiments throughout the '70s and '80s.
Stranger Things showrunners Matt and Ross Duffer told The Hollywood Reporter that while they were inspired by the events of the Montauk facility and wanted to keep the tale true to its roots, it wasn't practical to shoot on the tip of Long Island Sound in the wintertime. Matt explained, "We liked Montauk, because we liked the coastal setting, and Montauk was the basis for Amity, and Jaws is probably our favorite movie, so I thought that that would be really cool. Then it was really going to be impossible to shoot in or around Long Island in the wintertime. It was just going to be miserable and expensive." Filming was moved to Atlanta, Georgia.
In 2016, Thrillist published a story about the alleged supernatural connections that inspired Stranger Things. They wrote, "the idea that contact between Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and the Demogorgon may have opened the portal to the Upside Down has roots in an incident that conspiracy theorists believe occurred in Montauk in 1983, and ended secret experiments that the US military had been conducting on children for four decades."
In The Montauk Project: Experiments in Time, Nichols alleged that during an experiment with Cameron, a monster was let loose from his subconscious. This event became the origin story of Stranger Things' Demogorgon, the entity Eleven released after opening a portal at Hawkins National Laboratory.
The Camp Hero Air Force Station was shut down in 1981 and officially decommissioned. The land was eventually transferred to the state of New York and reopened to the public as Camp Hero State Park in 2002. The buildings are off limits to visitors.
Stranger Things season 5 will be released in three parts. The first four episodes will be released on November 26, the next three on December 25 and the series finale on December 31.
