Vecna has to be one of the best and the most formidable villains ever created. From his eerie, creepy make-up to his Freddy Krueger-esque modus operandi of toying with his victims before he obliterates them, is diabolical. Jamie Campbell Bower has outdone himself in Stranger Things with not just Vecna, but also Henry Creel and 001. Rightly so, the audience has showered this deserving big bad villain with a lot of love on the internet. Bower also got a lesson in internet slang owing to the fans of the show.

After coming across the term several times, Campbell finally stopped and expressed his confusion. “My vecnussy, what is it? I don’t even know where it is. I don’t know what it is.” Deciphering as he goes, Campbell assumes it means to give your all to something. He comments, “I put all of, as much as I had of my Vecnussy into Stranger Things.
