All you have to do to conjure up the sticky, spore-ridden goo of The Upside Down and a flashlight beam is to open Spotify on a web browser, play the _Stranger Things_ soundtrack for either season 1 or 2 and wait for [the Demogorgon](http://time.com/4662118/stranger-things-season-2-details/ "undefined") to appear. Be aware however, that any movement will make The Upside Down disappear and the dulcet tones of other, non-_Stranger Things_ artists will not summon this otherworldly skin. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4996938/spotify-hack-stranger-things-season-2/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4996938/spotify-hack-stranger-things-season-2/"},"headline":"Here's the Secret Stranger Things Hack to Turn Your Spotify Into 'The Upside Down'","datePublished":"2017-10-25T16:40:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:48:16.999Z","description":"Just in time for season 2","url":"https://time.com/4996938/spotify-hack-stranger-things-season-2/","keywords":["Newsfeed","viral","Spotify","Bizarre","Stranger Things"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt98427b543a8a0940/6988971ff887dc77d2e9633f/stranger-things-trailer.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt98427b543a8a0940/6988971ff887dc77d2e9633f/stranger-things-trailer.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Stranger-things-trailer","caption":"","creditText":"Netflix","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4996938/spotify-hack-stranger-things-season-2/","name":"Here's the Secret Stranger Things Hack to Turn Your Spotify Into 'The Upside Down'"}}]}] ```
