Trivia
The movie that Mr. Clark (Randy Havens) and a lady friend are watching is John Carpenter's The Thing (1982), which contains a monster whose head opens up like the petals of a flower, much like the Demogorgon.

Goofs
Actual de-icing salt is not cooking salt. It is raw and unprocessed, containing a significant portion of dirt and even gravel. It would yield a muddy, brownish solution and be rather disgusting for a person to immerse themselves in.

Another perfect episode which shows that the 1st season gets better

The Bathtub continues the first season in an even greater fashion. The story continues to be well-written gets a lot more suspenseful as Eleven and the others form a plan to defeat the DemoGorgon and get Will back. The production design and sets still compliment the 1980s setting respectfully and also provides some really good editing and directing. The music score continues to be very good and the pacing is still great. And the acting continues to be great too with everyone including Millie Bobby Brown providing some great chemistry. Which is exactly why this is one of the three best episodes of the entire first season. This receives a gold medal from me. Recommended! :)
