Floating ‘Stranger Things’ Halloween Display Taken Down After One Neighbor Complains

by Ethan Letkeman

A Plainfield, Illinois, couple’s Halloween display of a floating mannequin, based on the TV show Stranger Things, was taken down after one neighbor complained about the increased traffic it was bringing into the community.

The display pays homage to a memorable scene in the fourth season of the popular Netflix series when one of the main characters, Max Mayfield, played by Sadie Sink, is levitating in the air while possessed.

Dave Kedzie and his wife Aubrey Appel used a life-like dummy — dressed as Max — and were able to make it appear as if the prop was levitating without using wires. The family posted the display on TikTok on September 15, and the video has since received over 14 million views.
