Running up the slope still! Shaun White and Nina Dobrev surprised their fans by dressing as Vecna and Max Mayfield from Stranger Things for Halloween.
The Vampire Diaries star wrote “Happy Halloween” as the caption for the Instagram video, which showed the couple acting out the now-famous sequence from season four of the Netflix sci-fi blockbuster set to Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)”.
The Olympic snowboarder transforms into Sadie Sink’s persona in the video with the aid of a long red ponytail, jacket in an ’80s fashion, Walkman, and fake blood oozing from his eyes. Dobrev, meanwhile, goes all-out as Jamie Campbell Bower’s main antagonist from the Upside Down, dressing in a head-to-toe outfit that makes her virtually unrecognizable.
More than 35 years after its first release, Stranger Things gave Bush’s defining single from 1985 a huge second life, propelling it to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming one of the summer’s biggest radio singles. The new wave song also became a global smash in the twenty-first century, dominating the charts in Bush’s home country of the United Kingdom, Australia, and other countries.
Even the notoriously reclusive Bush, who is known for giving very few interviews, agreed to one for the BBC in June after the song’s revived success, saying, “It’s really amazing. Really, it’s very shocking, isn’t it? The entire world has become crazy.
