Stranger Things - Erica’s Helmet
Out of the many things I fabricated for Stranger Things, creating the iconic helmet prop for the pivotal character, Erica, was my favorite.
I had to delve deep into the lore of both the show and the period to create a functional piece emblematic of the Stranger Things universe.

The actress, Priya, needed her hands free as she crawled through the ventilation system, making traditional hand-held flashlights a no-go. Coupled with the Director of Photography’s need for a light source to illuminate the pitch-black tunnel resulted in the invention of Erica’s flashlight helmet.
The final product became iconic enough to be included in both merchandise and fan art.
