Titled "Upside Down Invasion: Stranger Things," the float injects a dose of eerie dimension-hopping drama into the lineup of Broadway casts, giant balloons and high-kicking marching bands. Netflix says the installation will "thrill audiences on the streets of New York and across America as a demogorgon creates chaos along the parade route." Consider it a festive reminder that sometimes you need more than stuffing and a stretchy waistband. You might also need telekinesis.
