Morse code: She was taught how to read and signal Morse code by Hopper as a means for them to safely communicate.

Narrator: Just as the hairlines must be traced to the finest detail, the lace that forms the foundation of production wigs has to be a very fine denier. Episodes of intense stress and fear had the potential to trigger Eleven's powers, releasing them in unpredictable and sometimes dangerous ways. She was reluctant to harm innocent life and had no malicious intent but was sometimes forced to maim or kill in extreme circumstances. She did not take this lightly as these instances were always followed by strong feelings of guilt and self-loathing (not to mention the physical toll these acts had on her body). Despite having killed before, upon being pressured by Kali into trying to kill, she refused to after seeing the man she was about to kill had children and then stopped Kali from shooting him. In every event of having to resort to killing someone, she has done it in self-defense. The friends have been through a lot of drama even though they’re not old enough to drive yet! One night, Will suddenly disappears. Next, they meet a new friend with supernatural powers (Eleven), then Dustin nurtures and takes care of a baby Demogorgon. (In Dustin’s defense, Dart was really cute at one point.) All of these characters, and many more featured in the show, have a unique look, perfect for recreating. This Halloween, all of these Stranger Things costumes will cause a commotion, just like the TV series. They’re all iconic, relevant, and recognized looks easily recreated with officially licensed Stranger Things Halloween costumes, or you can use clothing you already own mixed with a few new accessories. They translate perfectly into amazing group costumes. Go on an adventure with your crew but be on the lookout for a Demogorgon. It could be coming to a town near you!

On June 28, El and Mike spent time together at Hopper’s cabin, making out with one another in El’s room - much to Hopper’s discomfort. Hopper’s patience with the pair eventually snapped when El used her powers to shut the door. Annoyed, Hopper entered the room; the pair acted innocuously, though Hopper remained unconvinced. Mike soon departed to meet the rest of the Party at Starcourt Mall. While riding away on his bike, Mike and El communicated via Supercom, telling her he’d see her first thing the next day. Upon discovering Chief Hopper was the one leaving the food, Eleven cautiously approached him. Hopper decided to take responsibility for her, and the two travelled to an old cabin in the woods belonging to Hopper's grandfather; this would serve as their new home, a safe place where Eleven could avoid the forces of Hawkins Lab. Eleven was not the lab's only test subject: she had sixteen 'brothers' and 'sisters', who were probably abducted from their birth mothers in a similar fashion. In the early years of her life, she was allowed to play in the Rainbow Room with the other test subjects, including Eight. Psychological tests were conducted to exploit the telekinetic abilities the children were born with.

After getting trapped in the Upside Down, she manipulated a temporary gate that the Demogorgon had opened, widening it enough for her to crawl through. Rob: They need to hold up for take after take of rolling down the stairs, jumping off the building, et cetera. After school, Dustin and Lucas returned to Mike's house, where Mike shared his theory that Eleven could help find Will. Lucas dismissed Mike, and decided to tell Mike's parents; however, as Lucas tried to leave Mike's room, Eleven telekinetically shut the door in front of Lucas's face while quietly uttering " no...", stunning him and and the other boys. Out of all the roles, Eleven was the most difficult to cast due to her having to convey various emotions with little dialogue. The role also required staying in character even while not talking. The Duffers feared they would not be able to find someone who could stay focused throughout an entire scene. 246 young actresses were seen for the role of Eleven. [25] However, when they met Millie Bobby Brown those fears vanished, and the Duffers even stated she has a "preternatural talent". [22] To help ease her worries about shaving her head, the Duffers showed Millie pictures of Charlize Theron in Mad Max: Fury Road. [26] On December 15, Eleven attended the Snow Ball along with Mike and her friends. After they reunited again, Mike stated that she looked beautiful and asked if she wanted to dance. She agreed and they danced together to the song "Every Breath You Take", and shared a kiss. However, in the Upside Down, a raging Mind Flayer loomed above the school, sensing Eleven on the other side.

In the summer of 1985, Jonathan and Eleven worked together alongside Mike, Lucas, Will, Max, and Nancy in taking down the Mind Flayer and Billy. El assisted Jonathan in saving Nancy from the Hospital Monster. When El was bitten by the Mind Flayer, leaving her ankle punctured, Jonathan assisted in treating her wound in the best way he could, and later assisted the others in ambushing the Mind Flayer with Lucas' fireworks to save El. Three months later, following Hopper's "death", El had begun living with the Byers, and moved out of Hawkins alongside them.

When applying the wig, the show's hair department head, Sarah Hindsgaul, had to make it sit naturally on top of Millie's armpit-length hair, which was all bundled up at the crown of her head. She didn't go with the traditional braiding method. That would've added bulk, risking a cocoon head effect. As part of an "agreement" he made with the laboratory to save Will, Hopper revealed Eleven's location. Agents arrived at the school to capture her, but Eleven killed most of them by crushing their brains, an exhaustive process which drained her energy and caused her to collapse. I came here to try and understand who I was. To see if ... I was the monster. And I know the truth. It is not me. It is you. You are the monster." Unfortunately we don't, sorry - but we will! We're currently working on an overnight delivery solution that is both efficient and reliable :) more to come on this! Do you ship to Australia? Despite Eleven's initial animosity towards Max, the two grew to become close friends. The pair were on more neutral terms by June 1985, with both being formal members of the Party. Unlike Will, Max defended Mike and El's relationship as "romantic", but after Mike started acting unusually towards El, Max took El to the brand-new Starcourt Mall to cheer her up. The girls soon grew close to one another throughout the day, trying on clothes, taking photos, pranking bullies, and getting ice cream. Max encouraged El to find herself without her father or Mike's approval, and El began to copy Max, repeating many of her sayings. That night, Max slept over at El's cabin and introduced her to teen magazines, while also comforting her over her breakup with Mike. The two grew to deeply trust and care for one another, with both girls relating to each other's frustrations interacting with Dustin, Lucas, Mike and Will.The kids were left alone in the school while Joyce and Hopper went to the lab and Nancy and Jonathan went to the Byers house. Mike and Eleven shared another intimate moment where Mike invited Eleven to join him at the Snow Ball school dance. Eleven accepted and the two shared a kiss. Rob: Synthetic hair has more of a sheen to it than natural human hair, which is kind of something we're always trying to fight.

Rob: They used cotton lace in the early days, and it didn't show up because you were working with film. Film is much more forgiving than digital HD. So, that's the thing, just as the cameras change, the hairlines have gotten finer, the lace has gotten finer. I think they were so against it, and so nervous,” Hindsgaul laughs. “They were very scared when they came to the set and were ready to say no.” When they saw the wig with their own eyes, they were impressed enough to put it on camera. “They were like, ‘OK, we’ll do a real camera test. It actually looks pretty decent. It might work.’ ” Narrator: This step is laborious, but once it's done, a production shooting anywhere in the world can call in to have a wig made for an actor, even if the actor can't make it to a fitting. Using her abilities, El sought out Hopper and discovered that he and Joyce were headed to Illinois. When Nancy and Jonathan arrived, Nancy disclosed what she had witnessed at the hospital the night prior: an old woman named Doris Driscoll had exhibited behavior identical to Will’s when he was possessed by the Mind Flayer. After noting her behavior happened at the same time as the sauna test, they concluded that Doris had also become “ flayed” - a host to the Mind Flayer -and suspected there were potentially several more. In turn, the group deduced the Holloways had also become hosts. The group went to Bradley’s Big Buy to fix El’s wounds and gather supplies. When they were alone together, Mike confided in El about his feelings for her. Just as he was going to tell her how he felt, he was interrupted by Dustin calling on via the Supercom. However, the signal kept cutting out due to Dustin’s Supercom having a low battery; the group were surprised to learn Dustin, Steve, Robin and Erica - aka, the Scoops Troop - had discovered and infiltrated a secret Soviet-controlled facility located beneath Starcourt Mall. They ten headed to the mall, arriving just in time to save the Scoops Troop, with Eleven telekinetically throwing a car at a group of covert Soviet soldiers.

Upon Eleven's return in 1984, she helped to disrupt the Mind Flayer's possession of Will, while also closing the Gate. In the first season, the first night El stayed at the Wheeler house, Mike gave her his sweater and sweatpants he wore the night before. The pink dress she wears throughout the rest of the season originally belonged to Nancy.
