You Know It

Bob was haunted by a clown as a child, and his family's from Maine, so he would have been a child in Maine in the 1950s...which just so happens to be the setting of It. Bob called him Mr. Baldo, which is also a word you could use to describe Pennywise's great big dome.

Plus, Sean Astin played Mikey in The Goonies, and Finn Wolfhard, who plays Mike in Stranger Things, also starred in It. COINCIDENCE?! We think not.

Never Say Die

Bob wondered if there was pirate treasure at the center of Joyce's giant map. Sean Astin, who plays Bob, was in The Goonies, which was about a bunch of kids finding pirate treasure. 

Also, Bob died, which Goonies aren't supposed to say.

Hopper's Daughter

Hopper can always be seen wearing this blue braided bracelet, which David Harbour confirmed to be Hopper's daughter's hair ribbon. In the season two finale, Eleven is seen wearing it at the school dance. 

H/t to @babysittersteve who destroyed us all by noticing this little fact.
