A controversial “Stranger Things” Halloween display reopened in a suburban Illinois neighborhood over the weekend, several days after a neighbor’s complaint shut it down. Dave Appel, who with his family created the display, said that conversations with Plainfield town officials and Joliet police gave the green light for the return. Joliet police, whose officers patrol Plainfield, said the display does not violate any ordinances. Dave Appel says the full display will be up Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, and the lights and sounds will be turned off during the week. “We were watching the new season of ‘Stranger Things,’ … and I’m like, ‘I believe we can do this whole set in pool noodles,’” he said.
