I mean to be fair the book is 1000+ pages long. Would loved to have seen some of that existential philosophicalness at the end of the movies with the turtle though.

I can't find it right now but there was a selection from an earlier version of the script which absolutely nailed the cosmic horror element of the story absent from the copy-of-a-copy Stranger Things treatment we got. It would have gotten a terrible Cinemascore rating and been limited to cult classic status though.
