Scenario Advice Needed

[steamcraft]

I happen to own the 3rd edition of CoC from 1986. That is also the year of the last Stranger Things season. I thought it would be interesting to play a CoC adventure set in 1986 using the rules from 1986. Initially the goal was for them to be teenagers that were part of a gaming club that played CoC. Instead of D&D references, they would make CoC references. However, I probably don’t want to repeat the plot where there is the upside down and psychic powers. I need Cthulhu monsters and cultists.

I need 9-12 hours of content. I am open to them not being teenagers. I am also open to using an adventure if I can get it on PDF. However, I would like to know how to expand out CoC adventure to eat up time while keeping the players interested.

Any suggestions on published adventures I could modify or suggestions on how to approach the scenario without just copying Stranger Things?

I've previously run an 80's campaign using "Cthulhu Now" (1987), "The Stars Are Right" (1992) and "At Your Door" (1990).

I have no idea if it's any good, but this is literally set in 1986:

Ha, an unofficial 80's character sheet:

Oh, I think this is 80s too:

Thanks. Cthulhu Now is helpful on updating things to the 80's and has the updated character sheet.  Although I am looking the unofficial character sheet.  They have already made their PCs using the one for Cthulhu Now, but I will give them to option of switching to the more colorful one if they want.
