10 'Stranger Things' Scenes Directly Inspired by Cult Movies

Passing off as university students in psychology, Robin and Nancy visit Victor Creel (Robert Englund), who was locked up for slaughtering his family. But Nancy knows that the real culprit of the murders is Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower) and that somehow Victor was able to escape his deadly curse.
The rules to visiting Victor Creel are almost word for word, the same ones for visiting Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of The Lambs. The walk down to the last cell, the young, unsure, rookie FBI agent with the good bag and the cheap shoes looks a lot like Robin and Nancy walking down the prison aisle to Victor’s cell. While not a movie from the 80s, this staple in the horror genre is now a cult classic. And this famous scene between Jodie Foster and Anthony Hopkins was too good not to recreate.
