View down onto a brightly lit playfield in a dark cabinet, showing the lower deck, apron and part of the backbox. The lower third is dominated by two maroon-outlined triangular plastics flanking a central apron: the left carries a large painted portrait of a young woman with short brown hair in a cream-and-pink 1980s patterned top gazing up left; the right carries a red-and-white card with a QR code. Between the slingshots sit a round orange SHOOT AGAIN button and a white plate reading ALL CONTENT RATED. The playfield is a symmetrical fan of twenty-plus small round inserts in red, blue, yellow and orange arranged in radiating arcs, with a column of black lettered lane targets in the upper centre reading TRAP, WHIFF, BANK, LEFT, CENTRE and RIGHT. Painted artwork shows a pale 1980s American town street: a light sedan, a police cruiser, a chain-link fence, telephone wires and faces of teenagers. Clear ramps and chrome wireforms sweep up both sides to a raised upper playfield washed in magenta and blue LED light. A red HELLFIRE sign sits at upper left. Dominant colours: deep purple, crimson, cyan, black.

The most memorable element is a great vertical rip of red and orange flame running up the centre of the playfield from the road at the bottom, with four photographic character portraits lined up shoulder to shoulder on either side of it. A huge clawed, fanged face reaches in from the left edge in purple and grey tones. Below, two pale 1980s cars face each other on a dark two-lane road, and a real boy's head with a glowing bulb at his chin pops out at the lower left. At the top, a suburban house with a bright yellow upstairs window and a wire fence sits behind four red round lamps.

Illuminated playfield shot from above with the glass open, glowing blue and magenta LED strips, a black background and a printed scene. The lower two-thirds carry a symmetrical fan of round and shield-shaped translucent inserts, lit magenta and white, reading DEMOGORGON, HAWKINS POWER and MIND FLARE. In the painted artwork a tall ragged vertical tear of red and orange light splits the field, flanked by a row of four large portrait busts: a man in a red-and-white check shirt, a woman in a patterned jacket, a young woman with light hair and a red top, and a dark-haired man. Below them sit a cream 1980s estate car and a pale blue sedan on a two-lane road. A demonic clawed face in profile reaches up the left side, and a boy's face with a bright light on his chin appears at the lower left. The upper playfield shows a suburban house with a lit upstairs window, a metal fence and gate, four red round lamps in a row, and two metal wireform ramps curving down both flanks. Two white-bordered flippers, a round SHOOT AGAIN sticker and a yellow card reading NETFLIX STRANGER THINGS sit on the apron below.

A licensed television tie-in backglass, full-bleed painted artwork with no playfield or cabinet visible and no border frame. Four large child faces dominate the upper two-thirds: a dark-haired girl at left holding a chunky brick-and-walkie-talkie telephone handset with an aerial, a short bowl-cut boy dead centre with blood trickling from one nostril, a boy in a pink-and-white trucker cap to his right, and a Black boy at far right turning his head with his mouth open. Below the centre boy a huge pale open hand reaches forward from the right edge. The palette is magenta, purple and cyan: pink-magenta smoke across the top, electric blue-white glow across the bottom half. At lower left a clawed creature is outlined in jagged blue-white lightning; small silhouetted figures with torch beams walk along a road at bottom centre, and cyclists and a receding streetlamp row sit on the right. A red neon-style serif logo is centred at the top under a red wordmark. A small black-box warning label sits bottom centre, a red-and-white brand badge bottom left, and a tiny copyright line bottom right.
