One of the greatest, (in our humble opinion), season finales we have ever witness took place over the New Years holiday: Stranger Things. We have been fans of the show since the beginning, and it is one of the many things that led to the creation of this show. 

Over the next few weeks Ian will take us through a few of the programs that gave inspiration to this iconic show, but first we wanted to give a little nod to the late Eddie, (yes we know he is a fictional character), and take a look at the original Hellfire Club. 

Started by some of the UK's wealthiest and most elite men and women, the Hellfire Club has had many revivals through out the centuries. From Phillip Wharton and Sir Dashwood, to Dublin and the Whaley men, there have been several branches that have a dark and devilish past.
