'Stranger Things' Newsreel Covers Barb's Disappearance, Eggo Theft

Barb might be gone, but she is far from forgotten.

"Stranger Things" Season 1 saw the Hawkins, Indiana, teen meet an unfortunate fate, but her memory lives on in a new clip released by Netflix today. Billed as an "archival newsreel from 5 WIYZ Hawkins, Indiana," the video covers the disappearance of Barbara Holland (Shannon Purser). Since that wasn't the only alarming occurrence in town, we also hear about a massive Eggo Waffle theft and see security footage of the "vagrant" in action.

The newscaster, Brenda Wood, reports on the news very seriously, but the video itself is very tongue-in-cheek. Barb is remembered for things like her "mom jeans" and being "the kind of girl who notices if you're wearing a new bra." It's a fitting homage to a character whose disappearance inspired a wave of internet outrage.
"Stranger Things" Season 1 is on Netflix now, and more is coming in 2017.
