Stranger things creature
After realizing he has powers while feeling alone in his own home, Henry decides to attack his own family and kill them to test his power. It’s revealed that Vecna is actually Victor Creel’s son, Henry. However, unlike everyone else who ends up seeing only broken parts of Creel House, Nancy-likely due to all the research she’s done-is able to see all the pieces together and look back into Vecna’s memories. Nancy (who is still in the Upside Down with Steve) ends up under Vecna’s control, and she starts seeing visions about Barb’s death. We find out in episode 7 that just like how everything in the Upside Down is connected, Vecna is also deeply connected to Hawkins and Eleven. “If the Demogorgon was just its foot soldier, Vecna is his five-star general with the power to open gates,” he points out. Since all the monsters in the Upside Down are connected, Dustin figures out that Vecna is not killing people just for fun but rather for the purpose of opening more gates between Hawkins and the alternate world to ultimately help the Mind Flayer. But at a certain point, the mind link causes them to head mentally to the Upside Down, where Vecna kills them, leaving their bodies behind in the real Hawkins while becoming more powerful in the other world. But it actually all led back to Vecna and the Upside Down.Įventually, the crew figures out through Max’s experiences that Vecna targets those with extreme guilt, typically over the loss of someone, and uses a mind link to connect with them. After mysterious murders start occurring around town, many locals believe they have something to do with the Hellfire Club and satanic rituals (it was the ’80s). Last chance to run away before we dive deep into some big spoilers!Īt first glance, Vecna looks like a brand-new monster that has come to turn things upside down (no pun intended) in Hawkins. Who is Vecna according to the group? What are their theories? Here’s everything you need to know about who Vecna is in Stranger Things 4. (So make sure you finish watching Stranger Things 4 before continuing on, and don’t say we didn’t warn you!)
As with everything in Stranger Things, things are not what they seem, and this might be the most surprising reveal in the history of the series. But now there’s a new creature coming to wreak havoc on our sweet little Indiana town, and you won’t believe the Hawkins history this new guy Vecna brings to the table. Over the past few seasons of Stranger Things, our favorite group of friends from Hawkins has faced many monsters from the Upside Down. This episode of Face Off is written by Bryan Wolford, narrated by Shawn Knippelberg, and edited by Lance Vlcek.*S POILERS FOR SEASON 4 OF STRANGER THINGS BELOW!* So grab some Eggo waffles and let’s find out what happens when these two titles… FACE OFF! Both have similar concepts and enough 80s nostalgia running through them that we cannot help but compare the two. There, you have the Dungeons & Dragons-loving kids from Hawkins, who have to save their hometown from terrifying beings such as the Demogorgon, The Mind Flayer, and Vecna. Directed by Fred Dekker and co-written by Shane Black, the story follows a kick-ass group of pre-teens fighting the classic monsters made up of Dracula, Frankenstein (ahem Frankenstein’s Monster), The Wolfman, The Mummy, and Gill-man. Yeah, if we’re talking ‘80s movies about rambunctious kids battling scary monsters, then we can’t forget to mention The Monster Squad. But in reality, they were just trading in on some of that decade’s nostalgia with inspiration from movies like E.T., Poltergeist, Ghostbusters, and The Goonies produced.

Some things just never change! The Duffer Brothers, who created Stranger Things, knew that when they launched the highly popular series on Netflix about the supernatural events in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana. Fast forward to today, if you’re an adult, nothing seems cooler than being in the ‘80s and part of a gang that fights monsters. Back in the ‘80s, if you were a kid, nothing seemed cooler than being part of a rag-tag group of youngsters that fought monsters.
