'Stranger Things' Theme of April Fools Website

Silver City, NM – Things seem a little Upside Down at Western New Mexico University today.

Each year, WNMU’s website transforms on April Fools Day as a surprise to visitors of the page. This year’s theme is a take off of the popular Stranger Themes show on Netflix.

Several news stories with plot elements and characters from the show are featured including cryptic messages sent through Christmas lights, and rise of 80s fashion trends by the millennial generation.

“Each year our students enjoy waking up April 1 to a surprise website,” said Abe Villarreal, Director of Communications. “We love to deliver a fun site filled with wacky stories and pictures.”

The website features upcoming events including a gathering of Dungeons and Dragons enthusiasts, and a marketing presentation on the popularity of Eggo frozen waffles.
