If it seems like the world is turning upside down, Netflix just confirmed it.

Continuing its tradition of using big TV moments to announce the premiere dates of its shows, Netflix dropped a surprise ad during the Super Bowl’s third quarter for Stranger Things 2, which will debut around Halloween. Stranger Things 2 is the title for Season 2 of Stranger Things, which was last summer’s big hit.

The ad features footage from a classic Eggo commercial that debuted in 1979 and aired in the ‘80s.
