After watching the first part of Stranger Things season 4, you might want to try out other projects Duffer Brothers have worked on; here’s the list of the best ones.

Who doesn’t know about Matt and Ross Duffer, twin brothers who became a known face of the industry after coming up with the idea of Stranger Things? Working as the producer, writer as well as director, they have been able to make one of the most-watched Netflix shows.

Stranger Things can safely be assumed as the most significant break for the duo in their eighteen years of career. But keeping this show aside, Duffer Brothers still have a strong portfolio of excellent Television work. Not as popular as Stranger Things, of course, but if you loved their work in Stranger Things, you might like their other projects as well.

Best Work From Duffer Brothers Other Than Stranger Things

1. Wayward Pines

Based on a novel series by Blake Crouch by the same name, Wayward Pines is a horror, mystery, and science fiction series. Duffer Brothers worked as the writers while M. Night Shyamalan directed the show. With a total of 20 episodes in 2 seasons, Wayward Pines is a perfect show to binge-watch after Stranger Things. Ethan Burke, a secret service agent, goes on a hunt for two federal agents in the town of Wayward Pines, Idaho. Unfortunately, he soon realizes that it’s easy to enter Wayward Pines but not that easy to leave.

2. Hidden

Duffer Brothers love to work on horror and thriller projects, and here’s another of their great ones. Hidden is a one-hour, twenty-four-minute movie starring Alexander Skarsgard, Andrea Riseborough, Emily Alyn Lind, and Heather Doerksen. Due to a virus outbreak, a family is forced to take refuge in an unknown underground bomb shelter. Although they think they are safe there, someone keeps an eye on them. Duffer Brothers have worked both as the director and the writer of the movie.

3. Eater

If short horror and thriller films excite you, then Eater by Duffers Brothers would be a perfect pick for you. The movie got released in 2007, starring Emanuel Borria, Douglas Bennett, and Nick Gillie. Although it’s a short movie with just eighteen minutes of runtime, Eater got some really spooky scenes. The movie revolves around a cannibal keeping a watch on a police station.

4. Road to Moloch

Next, we have a 2009 short film, and guess the movie genre? Yes, it’s horror again, but this time, set in a world that has been ravaged by war. The duo worked as writers in the movie while the direction was given by Robert Glickert. A team of Marines is on a mission to locate the three missing soldiers. While carrying out their mission, the Marines come across an Iraqi man covered in blood. They start to follow the man to an unknown cave where they face an ancient evil. The movie is short but totally worth your time.

5. Vessel

Working as a writer alongside Clark Baker as the director, Vessel is another great short film by the twin brothers. The movie, released in 2012, stars Brandon Bales, Julie Mintz, and Whit Spurgeon. On a flight going from Boston to San Francisco, the passengers encounter an evil force, after which they have to fight for their lives. The story is all about a passenger, Danny, flight attendant Emma, and a child named Chloe.
