![]() What does Vecna want, exactly?ĭustin figures it out: Vecna is trying to open more gates to the Upside Down to help the Mind Flayer, the biggest bad of the Upside Down, take over the world. She spends the rest of the episodes playing the song on loop to protect herself from Vecna. The same tactic works for Max, who is tight in Vecna’s clutches until her friends play her favorite Kate Bush song, “Running Up That Hill,” on her headphones, snapping her back into reality. That voice was actually a song playing on the radio. Victor Creel said that he was almost taken by Vecna but heard the voice of an “angel” and followed it, which led him to safety. During Max’s encounter with Vecna, and through Robin and Nancy’s research, we learn that one way to break Vecna’s spell is with some sort of musical therapy. It’s still unclear by the end of the episodes (though we’re hoping Eleven could be the key), but the kids have found a way to at least keep him at bay. Courtesy of Netflix Can Vecna be defeated? Victor Creel (Robert Englund) survived a demonic attack on his home that killed his wife and kids. When Nancy, Steve, Dustin, Robin, Lucas, and Max later break into the abandoned Creel house, they discover that Vecna is residing in the attic-but in the Upside Down version. But everything about the attacks has Vecna’s name on it. He was blamed for killing his family and imprisoned for the crime. Victor was blinded but survived the attack though he believes he was spared as punishment. ![]() Victor tried to stage an exorcism but it only further angered the demon, who murdered Victor’s wife and children, Henry and Alice, leaving their bodies broken and their eyes removed. What did Vecna do to the Creel House?Īccording to local records, a so-called demon invaded Victor Creel’s house in Hawkins in the ‘50s and put it under a curse. ![]() When Vecna goes in for the kill, his victims become entranced, their eyes whiten, and they levitate before all their limbs snap and their eyes get gouged out. Early in ST4, we see him target Chrissy, a cheerleader struggling with body image issues, and Fred, who blames himself for a friend’s death in a car accident. He can sense them in his mind, select a target, then start to taunt them first with voices then with visions, which usually involve a grandfather clock. This Vecna is a certain kind of evil, feeding on people-especially teenagers-with insecurities and past traumas. Is he just as frightening, though? Perhaps! But that’s not necessarily the case with Upside Down Vecna also like the demogorgon, he isn’t a direct replica of his D&D counterpart. (Liches are usually depicted with skull-like features, which could explain the inspiration for onscreen Vecna’s appearance.) According to D&D lore, his hand and eye are valuable relics in the game that others can seek out and use for special protections and abilities. ![]() Vecna is one of the most formidable villains in the game, said to be a powerful wizard who became a lich-a sort of undead creature-after he was destroyed, with only his left hand and left eye remaining. The first episode of the new season has Mike, Dustin, and Lucas’ sister Erica (Will is in California and Lucas is trying to be a basketball jock now) playing the famous board game with the Hellfire Club, which consists of a few nerdy upperclassmen and head “freak” in charge, Eddie. Like the demogorgon, Vecna gets his name from Dungeons & Dragons, of which our lead kiddos are avid players. Meet Vecna, Stranger Things’ new big bad.
