What 90's movie or media trope would be great as a stranger things style show?

Gremlins, I want a 3 season horror thriller where people are terrified of being ripped apart by rubbery Muppets.

Gremlins really messed me up as a kid. I had nightmares for months. I finally rewatched them recently and just laughed most of the time.

Predator

A bunch of kids investigating random disappearances around town. Similar to Predator 2.

Galaxy Quest

(What I'm watching right now lol)

I'd love to see a Galaxy Quest: TNG tv show, but we already had the Orville.

Independence Day or Godzilla 98 would make great shows. They could investigate where the aliens came from, why earth, how to stop them etc.

Godzilla same premise, but with the radiation tests.

Any of the 90s horror anthology shows. Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Friday the 13th: The Series heck even X-Files and Buffy. I don't think we've had a decent horror anthology show in recent years. Black Mirror is less horror than just plain meanness sometimes.

Cabinet of Curiosities was pretty good.

The Midnight Club felt like a modern Are You Afraid of the Dark.

The new Goosebumps series was a lot of fun.
