This time, this villain is actually a lot more dangerous than the villain in other movies. With his terrifying appearance, mysterious plot, and diabolical witchcraft, Vecna has brutally killed many of Hawkins’ ill-fated people. Let’s find out about Vecna Stranger Things.

1. Stranger Things 4 is a spectacular comeback for Netflix at a time when the size
of this giant has been reduced significantly. In addition to raking in sales, it
also pushed Kate Bush‘s song “Running Up That Hill” to No. 1 on iTunes. This
is understandable because really the quality of the movie is too good. It
revolves around one thing that is the film’s main antagonist: Vecna Stranger
Things.
Vecna Stranger Things
This time, this villain is actually a lot more dangerous than the villain in other
movies. With his terrifying appearance, mysterious plot, and diabolical
witchcraft, Vecna has brutally killed many of Hawkins’ ill-fated people. Let’s
find out about Vecna Stranger Things.
1. How did Vecna Stranger Things appear in Hawkins?
Vecna appeared in the first episode of season 4 while threatening cheerleader
Chrissy Cunningham (Grace Van Dien). He mentally tortured her by
impersonating Chrissy’s harsh mother and repeatedly banging on the
bathroom door.

2. Chrissy Cunningham in Stranger Things 4
He then went on to create the illusion of a tree clock ringing hauntingly. This
causes Chrissy to panic and goes to his friend Eddie’s house (Joseph Quinn) to
buy drugs to forget the obsession.
Here, in a terrifying scene, Vecna Stranger Things finishes off Chrissy by
distorting her body. After Chrissy, Vecna applied the same tactic with Fred
Benson (Logan Riley Bruner) – a colleague of Nancy Wheeler (Natalia Dyer) at
a newspaper.

3. Vecna kills Chrissy
This time, he uses the memory of the tragic accident that Fred once caused to
terrorize his spirit. Unfortunately, the skinny nerd boy did not escape the tragic
end.
Vecna’s third victim is high school student Patrick McKinney (Myles Truitt). The
fourth victim of Vecna is Max Mayfield (Sadie Sink) – a core member of the
child army. But fortunately, thanks to determination, and support from friends,
Max was lucky to escape death narrowly.
In the final episode, he captured Nancy Wheeler just before Nancy escaped
from The Upside Down.
2. Who is Vecna Stranger Things?
The name Vecna appeared in the film was given by Dustin Henderson (Gaten
Matarazzo) inspired by the famous villain of the Dungeons & Dragons board
game. In Dungeons & Dragons, Vecna is the most powerful witch of the
human race with the ambition of immortality to rival the gods. Thanks to dark
magic, Vecna was granted. But the price to pay was that he became a zombie
wizard. This is also the default state of the commonly used Vecna in the game.

4. Vecna In Dungeons And Dragons
The appearance of Vecna Stranger Things is not much different from the
original. In terms of power, both are masters of black magic. If Vecna in
Dungeons & Dragons has the ability Dominate Person, then Vecna also uses a
similar spell to finish the victim – Vecna’s curse.
3. What is Vecna’s curse?
The main audience of Vecna’s curse is teenagers with many psychological
problems. Mental wounds lower their defenses. This helps Vecna easily
penetrate into each person’s head. From there, he can use haunting memories
to control and mentally terrorize his prey, causing them to completely submit.
For Chrissy, it was a nagging fear for the mother. For Fred, it was the fatal
accident he once caused. For Max, it was watching The Mind Flayer kill Billy.
Patrick’s emotional trauma comes from his abusive father. As for Nancy, it was
the obsession of Barbara’s departure in ep.1.
Vecna’s curse begins with constant headaches and nightmares. Their intensity
will gradually increase over time. When his prey’s minds began to drain, he
used illusions to isolate them. After about a week, Vecna will finish the prey.

5. Vecna’s Curse makes Max float in mid-air
Outside, their bodies began to float in mid-air. In another dimension, their
minds began to be consumed by Vecna. The unlucky prey all had to suffer an
incomplete death with their bodies twisted, bones were broken, and eyes
sucked back into the skull.
In particular, the effect speed of Vecna’s curse seems to be significantly
increased if prey appears in The Upside Down. In the final episode, despite not
having any symptoms, Nancy was easily pulled back into illusions by Vecna.
Fortunately, it’s not impossible to resist Vecna’s curse. When she heard her
favorite music, a portal to reality opened before Max’s eyes, helping her
escape from Vecna’s clutches. From then until the end of episode 7, Max
constantly had to listen to Kate Bush’s voice to avoid Vecna Stranger
Things. So will the music box be what rescues Nancy in the future?

6. Will the music box be what rescues Nancy in the future?
It is known that Vecna Stranger Things used the victim’s corpse to do 3
things:
 Make trophies at his headquarters.
 For every 1 person he kills, he opens another space portal leading
directly to The Upside Down.
 Vecna’s power will increase significantly after each human life.
One of the best things about season 4 is that it brought a charismatic and
fulfilling background to the villain. At the same time, the film goes a step
further, linking Vecna’s origins with Eleven herself (Millie Bobby Brown).
4. Who is Henry Creel?
In the climax of episode 7, Vecna Stranger Things is Henry Creel (Jamie
Campbell Bower) – the caretaker at the place where Eleven was created. At the
same time, he is also 001, the first experimental subject of Dr. Martin Brenner
(Matthew Modine).

7. Henry was born in the late 40s, the youngest child of the Creel family. Since
childhood, due to his sensitivity to supernatural things, Henry was despised by
his own family. When he went to school, he had many difficulties socializing.
Even teachers and doctors called Henry a piece of trash.
Young Henry Creel
At the age of 12, the Creel family moved to Hawkins to start over. The new
home helps Henry discover an interest in black widow spiders – his only
friends. From here on, Henry’s hatred for humanity kept growing. In his eyes,
humans were filthy insects that needed to be eradicated. As soon as he
became aware of his own power, Henry tortured the small animals that lived
around the house.
In addition to his ability to manipulate matter, Henry can also manipulate the
minds of others. Before torturing Max and Nancy, Henry’s first victim was his
father. Henry repeatedly made his father witness the haunting memory of a
burning infant he had seen while participating in the war.
When logic and science couldn’t explain it, Henry’s father was forced to call for
help from an exorcist, but it was no help. Henry’s mother gradually realized
the true truth about her son, so she rejected him and tried every way to get rid
of Henry.

8. One night, when he couldn’t stand it any longer, Henry killed his mother and
sister. At the same time, he used black magic to blind his father so that he had
no memory of what had just happened.
When the police arrived, Henry’s father automatically became the number 1
suspect and was arrested in a mental institution – where he lived for the next 3
decades, while Henry was hospitalized. Here, Dr. Martin Brenner brought
Henry back to the Hawkins lab. Or a crazier theory is that he had been
keeping an eye on Henry for a long time. At one point, it was Brenner who
forged the inheritance to drag the Creel family to Hawkins. When tragedy
struck, it was a great time for Brenner to arrest Henry. Since Henry, Dr. Brenner
created many individuals with superpowers. Maybe Project MKUltra is just a
cover for Brenner’s true intentions.
5. How did Henry Creel become Vecna Stranger
Things?
To control Henry, Dr. Brenner created a device called the Soteria. This chip not
only extinguishes Henry’s powers but also helps locate him. Since having
Soteria, Henry has had to settle down to be a normal person – something he
deeply despises.

9. Aldult Henry Creel
Henry is assigned to work as a nurse at the Hawkins laboratory with the task
of taking care of the test subjects including Eleven. Finding the right prey
when she both has a traumatized past and is isolated from other children.
Henry pretends to be a nice person to approach her.
Initially, he gained trust by helping El master his powers by digging into his
most painful and angry memories. Later, upon seeing Eleven’s true potential,
Henry manipulates her with a malicious script. He said that El being bullied at
the lab was part of Dr. Brenner, he wanted Eleven to die at the hands of other
experiments because she was too difficult to control.
However, Henry’s secret manipulation of El was discovered by Brenner. But his
act of torturing Henry was discovered by El, making her believe Henry’s words
even more. In September 1979, three years before Eleven officially escaped, a
tragedy occurred at Hawkins Laboratory. Henry and El fled, Eleven helped
Henry remove the Soteria chip and unleash Henry’s ability.
The first thing he did was massacre all the staff and test subjects except for
Eleven. When he tried to convince El to follow him but was refused, so he tried
to kill her. However, using his superior ability, Eleven defeated Henry and

10. pushed him into another dimension. There, he was disfigured and became
the Vecna Stranger Things.
6. The True Goal of Vecna Stranger Things
Because of hatred for humanity in general and Eleven in particular, the return
of Vecna Stranger Things is inevitable. Maybe during the past 7 years, Vecna
had planned revenge and patiently waited for the right time to strike. As soon
as she learned that Eleven had lost her powers, Vecna implemented a plan.
Vecna Stranger Things
His goal is undisputed, which is to destroy humanity or at least become the
hegemony of the earth. The real relationship between him and The Mind
Flayer is something worth discussing.
Theory 1: Vecna is a minion of the Mind Flayer
This theory comes from Dustin himself when he likens Vecna to a 5-star
general of the Mind Flayer. If true, then the existence of Vecna is explained
quite simply. After being banished to The Upside Down by Eleven, the Mind
Flayer quickly acquired Henry and turned him into his most powerful

11. henchman. Everything Vecna does in season 4 is to serve the orders of her
superiors.
The Mind Flayer
Theory 2: Vecna creates the Mind Flayer
This hypothesis is more creative. It thinks that Vecna is the creator of the Mind
Flayer. After arriving at The Upside Down, Vecna used his power to create the
second Hawkins. Then he spawned soldiers like The Demogorgon, Demo Bats,
and even the Mind Flayer – creatures with a very similar shape to an spider,
just like the animal Henry used to play with as a child.

12. Henry played with Black Widow Spiders
During his time stuck in another dimension, Vecna Stranger
Things penetrated the minds of the people of Hawkins to recreate the town,
including personal details like Nancy’s diary. As soon as Eleven opened the
portal again in 1983, Vecna stopped updating Hawkins 2.0 to focus on an all-
out attack.
However, which hypothesis is correct, we need to wait until early July.
7. What will happen to Vecna Stranger Things in the
future?
The last two episodes of season 4, PAPA and THE PIGGYBACK, will definitely
help the audience have a better look at this hideous villain. In addition to
telling us about the relationship between him and the Mind Flayer, we will
most likely know more about the process of Henry being taken by Dr. Brenner
used as a test subject.

13. The Clock in Stranger Things 4
The power of Vecna Stranger Things probably won’t just stop at things that
have appeared. It is possible that Henry is not simply able to turn the clock
back, he is manipulating time. This is indeed valid. If you could move things
with your mind, would you use it just to turn a clock? Most likely, time
manipulation is also a latent ability of Eleven and is waiting to be discovered
by her.
An anagram of Henry’s father (Victor Creel) gives the phrase “Correct Evil”
which raises many questions. Why did Henry deliberately not kill his father and
blame him for killing his family? If he really wanted to spare you, why use
witchcraft to make you so hallucinate that you had to blind yourself?
Could it be that Victor also mistreated, abused Henry, and made him a
dangerous person? Is this the reason that helped Henry form the ability to
manipulate time with the main purpose of going back in time and living a
different life?
Let’s wait for the answer in early July when the last 2 episodes of season 4
come out!
