Kid hiding an alien who somehow lives with them completely undetected. Creature taking off the blonde wig because let’s be real, it’s not like the other kids. Kids dressing up the creature like a normal in a blonde wig. Creature experiencing the wonders of television for the first time.
Dee Wallace, the mom in E.T., was financially struggling and divorced, and in Stranger Things, Joyce (Winona Ryder,) is also a cash-strapped divorced single mom, who just can’t seem to hang onto her child during an alien visit. Instead of Reese’s Pieces, Eleven has her Eggo’s. A realm that is now pouring into the once peaceful town of Hawkins.The biggest reference point is E.T., which, like Stranger Things, was about a charming, but totally threatening creature from another world. The vines, creatures and the seemingly living tunnels that the monsters inhabit underneath the city are connected to the all-seeing being, who sends his forces to stop those who threaten its ever-growing realm. These same vines can be seen growing and moving across Vecna’s body, connecting the villain to the land and monster responsible for turning him into a powerful predator. These carnivorous vines are reminiscent of the jointed eye stalk tentacles of the Beholder. The vines of the Upside Down have been seen feasting on the bodies of both Will and Barb, feeding the living entity that controls the alternate dimension. Audiences have witnessed how the Beholder has carved out his empire through the land, with the atmosphere leaking into pumpkin fields from the tunnels below the city's surface, and rotting out trees where temporary gates to the other side have manifested. The Beholder’s enslavement and commanding of other beings would explain how the foul creatures of the Upside Down operate as a hive mind, as seen when the Demodogs responded to the fire within the tentacle-like tunnels under Hawkins in Season 2. One terrible creature could be responsible for carving out this intricate map of tunnels, controlling the hungry, root-like tentacles and commanding the hive-minded army of monsters. The creatures of the Upside Down work as a hive mind, seeking out flesh to devour while protecting the vast map of tunnels carved out beneath the small town. The dimension existed long before Vecna was sent there by Eleven, with the villain stating that upon his arrival in the dark and desolate land, he found something powerful that would give him the ability to become the predator he dreamed of being. What we know of the Upside Down so far is that it’s the dark and twisted echo of the town of Hawkins, and home of the most vile creatures imaginable. Neither of these creatures fit the terrifying description that Nancy gave, though, one Dungeons & Dragons monster that perfectly matches the details of Nancy’s vision could be the answer to what the Upside Down is, and how it came to be.
One D&D monster in particular may answer these questions once and for all. Season 5 is said to be the last of the series, and many are wondering what the final boss of the Hawkins campaign will be, and if they will finally learn what the Upside Down really is. With Season 5 officially on the way, audiences are already speculating what monster will come next, and with Nancy’s vision in Season 4, the stage has been set for a great battle with multiple new monsters. In Season 1 audiences made first contact with the Demogorgon Season 2 introduced the Mind Flayer, whose melted victims formed the fleshy giant spider monster of Season 3, and Season 4 brought us Vecna, the Lich, Undying King of the Rotten Tower. Every season of Stranger Things has brought new, horrifying monsters and villains inspired by the beloved tabletop role-playing game, Dungeons & Dragons. The shadowy echo of the small town of Hawkins is wrapped in twisting carnivorous vines, bathed in blood-red light and inhabited by the most vile of creatures who work towards one shared goal: to devour and cause destruction to the once peaceful town. The Netflix horror series, Stranger Things, balances the neon lights and perfectly quaffed hair of the '80s with the dark and terrifying Upside Down. Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Season 4 of the Netflix series, Stranger Things.
