Enter the Upside Down world of Stranger Things with the new SFX

A Predator is the cover star of SFX issue 355 (though you might need to squint a bit, as they’re being terribly secretive about what it looks like…), as we look forward to new Disney+ movie Prey, which debuts on the streaming service on 5 August. 

Below we run down some of the highlights of the issue. UK readers, don’t forget: you can use this store locator (opens in new tab) to find a stockist near you, or order a copy online (opens in new tab) for the same price it is in the shops.

If you saw Sky’s recent adaptation of John Wyndham’s classic 1957 novel, you might be interested to learn that there was an earlier attempt to turn it into a TV series. We speak to writer Stephen Gallagher about a 2001 pitch which failed to hatch.
