It’s been revealed that the monster — who vaguely resembles both Game of Thrones' Night King and a spider — was created using 90% practical effects.

Your suffering is almost at an end.” Now, the cast of Stranger Things have given their take on what could be their final foe.

In a recent interview at the world premiere of Stranger Things season 4 in Brooklyn, N.Y., David Harbour, Gaten Matarazzo, and the rest of the cast were asked about the show’s new villain.

In Stranger Things season 4 trailers, Vecna can be seen in what appears to be the Creel House either in Hawkins or the Upside Down.
