LOS ANGELES — One of the first things you notice about the creators of “Stranger Things,” Matt and Ross Duffer, is that they definitely do the twin thing.
They finish each other’s sentences. They switch roles seamlessly, communicate without words. At times, they can seem to share a brain — “that weird telepathic relationship,” as Winona Ryder, a star of the series, described it — because they rarely seem to disagree, at least not vocally. When they write, they do it facing each other and in a shared Google Doc. To me, this seems insane. M. Night Shyamalan, an early mentor and collaborator, affectionately described the phenomenon as like watching a “two-headed creative monster.”
Still, they insist they would never want to isolate themselves in a writing cabin together.
“It could end in a double murder — or just a murder,” Matt said, laughing. “Make sure there are no axes around.”
