Strangers, be on the lookout! The world has been upside down with global landmarks morphing into gateways to a terrifying alternate dimension. NYC's Empire State Building, Sydney's Bondi Beach and Milan's Duomo Square are just a handful of places around the globe that have been hit by the frightening phenomenon in the past 24 hours as the leadup to the drop of 'Stranger Things 4' on Netflix. And Tokyo could be next.

Oh, and Stranger Things 4 is out now.
