Stranger Thingsis back012 ArchivesFriday, and what better way to celebrate than turning your desktop into the Upside Down?

First discovered by The Verge, there's a little Easter egg in the Spotify web browser and desktop app right now (not on mobile, sorry) that will thoroughly creep-ify your listening experience.

Just play a few seconds of the Stranger Things soundtrack (Vol. 1 or Vol. 2) and your screen will fill with orbs, spores, and spooky vegetation. For a second, I even thought the corners of my screen had cracked.

Hold still, though -- if you click or move your mouse around too much, the screen will go back to normal. Unless you don't want to be in the Upside Down. Frankly, that is fair.

Let us know if you see Barb.

UPDATE: Oct. 25, 2017, 9:39 a.m. EDT An earlier version of this story stated that the skin was not available on the Spotify desktop app, but it is! You'll just need to update to the latest version (1.0.66) first.
