Stranger Things, the mega-hit Netflix series, was created and is executive produced by The Duffer Brothers. But before Stranger Things very early in their career, the filmmaking brothers wrote the screenplay for ROAD TO MOLOCH, based on a short story by director Robert Glickert.

ROAD TO MOLOCH is an eerie action-horror short film about a reconnaissance team of Marines sent on a mission to find U.S. soldiers missing in the vast desert of Iraq. Instead, what they encounter is an ancient, malevolent evil.
