Perhaps the most frightening scene in the first season of “Stranger Things” is the final classroom encounter — but that’s actually not the part of the show that scared star Gaten Matarazzo the most.
“The quarry scene,” Matarazzo told TheWrap when asked what scared him the most. “By the cliff where we had to run, especially because I felt bad for Finn [Wolfhard]. Because Finn, when he was running, fell and tumbled down a little bit of a hill and scratched up his hand pretty good — he’s still got a scar from it.”
That scene, in which the boys have an altercation with another boy until Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) saves them, actually turned out to be the toughest one Matarazzo had to film last season: running “full sprint next to a large cliff” proved difficult because he claims he’s not a runner.
