"Stranger Things" is coming to an end, and creator Matt Duffer is feeling the heat ... saying he's absolutely feeling some extra pressure to deliver a finale fans can embrace.
We got the "Stranger Things" writer and director at LAX, and our photog asked him how he's feeling leading up to next week's big finale.
Matt, who created the series with his brother Ross, says endings are important on beloved shows like his Netflix hit ... and he feels good about the final product, which will be in theaters on New Year's Eve.
The gang's not all here for a "Stranger Things" event in New York City ... because David Harbour and Millie Bobby Brown are noticeably absent.
Most of the cast was at the "Stranger Things: The Final Season Celebration" at New York City's Paley Center Thursday ... but David and Millie were nowhere to be found.
As we reported ... David was initially supposed to attend the event, but he was scrubbed as an attendee on the event website.
David Harbour's taking a step back from the spotlight, it seems ... skipping a big "Stranger Things" event after a truly bizarre incident where he allegedly stole a fan's hat.
The actor was initially supposed to attend the "Stranger Things: The Final Season Celebration" at New York City's Paley Center Thursday ... however, he's no longer listed as an attendee on the event's website.
A rep for the Paley Center told People he can't make it due to a "scheduling conflict."
The timing of the cancellation may raise some eyebrows among fans ... given Harbour's seemingly been in the news for all the wrong reasons over the past few months.
David Harbour was captured on video doing some "Stranger Things" in Encinitas, California over the weekend ... the actor appeared to take a man's hat and make a run for it.
The head-scratching incident appears to have gone down Saturday at a gastropub called Encinitas Ale House.
Here's what the video -- which we were only permitted to view -- shows ... David enters the joint and then -- a short time later -- runs outside, carrying a white cap in his hand. He then looks over his shoulder, yelling, "C'mon, dude, f****** get me."
Noah Schnapp says the "Stranger Things" cast and crew had tears in their eyes when they filmed the final episode of the hit Netflix series ... and he's expecting fans to get emotional when the finale drops.
We got Noah in New York City on Tuesday, and our photog asked him if the tears were flowing when the final 'ST' season was wrapping up.
Millie Bobby Brown didn't need Eleven's powers to protect herself from David Harbour ... insisting the two didn't have any issues despite rumors of bullying.
The actress dove into their relationship during a conversation about the final season of "Stranger Things" with Deadline ... saying she felt safe around everyone on-set -- and she has a particularly strong bond with Harbour.

Brown points out Harbour plays her dad on the show ... so, the two have acted opposite each other for years and built up quite the rapport.
Millie Bobby Brown is spreading Christmas cheer with her new line of underwear ... giving fans an early gift by dressing up as a sexy Elf on the Shelf.
This outfit probably won't keep Millie warm at the North Pole ... after all, it's just a skin-baring crop top and a pair of booty shorts with a thick black belt and a long Santa hat -- though it'll certainly get her fans feelin' a little hot under the turtleneck.

Millie said she's not an Elf on the Shelf ... but, instead, a "Mill on a sill" -- ready to report back to Santa on any naughtiness she spies.
Millie Bobby Brown's been tight with her "Stranger Things" castmates ever since she was a kid ... and it looks like she's more than comfortable with them taking care of her daughter.
The actress spoke to "Entertainment Tonight" at the show's Season 5 premiere event on Thursday night and was asked about which of her costars she'd want to babysit her child ... turns out, the answer's all of them!

Millie singled out Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers in the hit Netflix show, and revealed he is her baby's godfather ... and it wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to think he'll be doing a bit of babysitting in the future.
She also said Sadie Sink would be a good babysitter and described her longtime costar as "very maternal."
The actress said the show's principal cast all turn "into the most gooey soft versions of themselves" whenever her kid is around.
Oh, and several of Millie's castmates apparently put on a "baby voice" when they're around her daughter, but she didn't specify which ones.
FYI ... Millie and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, adopted their baby girl this past August ... and although MBB hasn't shared her daughter's face or name on social media, we're thinking the kid's already got plenty of love from her "Stranger Things" family.
Can you guess which sexy star put her toned tummy on full display in this eye-popping pic?! Here's a few clues to help you out:
She and her hubby adopted a baby girl this summer. Florence by Mills is this star's beauty, fashion and coffee company ... and if you still can't guess who she is ... well, stranger things have happened!
Millie Bobby Brown has some news for you -- she is not a fan of wearing a bra ... a preference she makes clear in a revealing new IG vid while showing off a new top from Florence by Mills, her fashion and beauty product line.
In a black top that shows off her tummy -- and nipples, as she points out -- with a pair of matching shorts ... MBB talked to the camera about how people just have to deal with seeing her tips since she doesn't like wearing bras ... and thanks to her line's new top, she doesn't need to.
Millie showed off her toned core in the top ... making it clear her assets felt well supported.
Millie Bobby Brown and hubby Jake Bongiovi just dropped major news -- they’ve adopted a baby girl ... and the actress shared the heart-melting announcement on IG.
In her Thursday post, the "Stranger Things" star revealed, "This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy."
Millie wrapped it with the sweetest line: "And then there were 3. Love, Millie and Jake Bongiovi."
Finn Wolfhard's seriously pondering how he’ll navigate life after "Stranger Things" -- and the burning question on his mind? Whether or not he’s ready to let fans in on his relationship status.
The actor opened up about this turning point in his life ... saying he’s been working non-stop, so not having a committed partner just kinda happened -- like it was a subconscious decision.
Finn elaborated to Variety, saying with the crazy pace of work, travel, and everything else, he just doesn’t have the time to focus on dating right now.
The "Stranger Things" trailer for the show's fifth and final season finally dropped -- and Hawkins' finest are ready to turn Vecna into yesterday’s nightmare in one last, epic upside-down showdown!
The nearly 3-minute trailer is worth every second -- showing the gang hell‑bent on taking down monstrous Vecna after it left Max in a coma ... and serving up an explosive first look at '80s icon Linda Hamilton as the ultimate badass Dr. Kay. Yup, pure retro gold.
The trailer pulls no punches -- the final battle is darker, deadlier, and more powerful than anything Eleven and the gang have ever faced, forcing them to unite one last time to stop the Upside Down from swallowing Hawkins whole.
"Stranger Things" is gearing up for its final curtain call this year -- and right on cue, the Byers' California family home -- which IRL is in New Mexico -- just disappeared from the market thanks to some new owners.
Real estate sources tell TMZ the final price isn't public, but the place was listed at $675K back in Feb. and we're told it sold Friday for less than asking. Sounds like someone scored a deal ... no Demogorgon included!
It’s unclear if the buyers are die-hard stans of the Netflix show -- but the "California" pad is where the Byers shacked up with Eleven post-Hawkins, Indiana … but like we said, the house is really smack bang in Albuquerque, NM.
Millie Bobby Brown’s all about that liberated vibe -- so much so, she plans to take a page out of her younger self’s book and shave her head when she has her first baby.
In her "Call Her Daddy" interview, Millie admitted she told her husband, Jake Bongiovi, she’d be shaving her head just before she becomes a mom. Why? She doesn’t want her hair getting in the way of all the nurturing she’ll be doing for her baby.
Millie explained that every woman should try shaving their hair off at least once in their life ... though she did admit her first experience with it at such a young age was a bit of a mixed bag.
