    I’m having a hard time following this. The Duffer Bros are sex pests, or something specific to Montauk Project?

      Preston Nichols, an author involved in the Montauk Project, was a gross pervert who wrote fanfics about young boys into his quackery literature.

      I’m talking about the wackos who actually came up with the Montauk Project stories / personas, over the 80s and 90s, at various conspiracy / ufo conventions, and then eventually formalized it into a book.

      Al Bielek, Preston Nichols, Peter Moon / Vincent Barbarick, Stewart Swerdlow.

      I’ve never even seen the vast majority of the show, beyond an episode or two… three? … from the first season, and I quickly realized it was heavily based off of the Montauk story.

      I’m not talking about specifically being disgusted by the Duffer bros.

      I was so disgusted from diving into the story the show was based around, and the people behind that original story…

      … again, before the show ever existed…

      … that I just never wanted anything to do with anything related to that story, including basically a tv adaptation of it.
