There are just days to go before 'Stranger Things 2' - one of the most hotly-anticipated series of the year - arrives on Netflix, which means it's time to have one, final glance at the theories on what will take place in the episodes.

The second season is comprised of nine parts and while Netflix have kept the exact details of what's next for the residents of Hawkins under lock and key, they've dropped more than a few hints at what the themes will be in recent months.

For a start, 'Stranger Things 2' isn't just returning to our screens in time for Halloween, as the storyline also resumes on 31st October, so expect plenty of trick or treating, '80s film costumes and spooky references.

When it comes to what will actually happen, a number of fans have researched some seriously elaborate theories, so ahead of the episodes here are the seven most intriguing...

1. The video game in one trailer is some MAJOR foreshadowing

In the Comic-Con teaser for series two, the four boys can be seen playing a 'Dragon's Lair' adventure video game and it seems unlikely that the writers, the Duffer brothers, would have randomly picked a game that had no significance.

In 'Dragon's Lair', Dirk the Daring is the main character and he tries to rescue Princess Daphne, fighting a number of monsters along the way. Could this be a hint that Will Byers be rescuing Eleven from the Upside Down?

2. Eleven is actually the Demogorgon

One theory that suggests Will might not be saving Eleven this time around comes from fans who believe Millie Bobby-Brown's character might actually be the monster.

This theory has been kicking around for a while and as Uproxx previously pointed out, there's plenty of references to "the duality between the good and the evil found in a single creature" in the show.
