The world of Upside Down has long held the cards of its last dance close to their chests. But thanks to period spoilers, fans have remained intrigued in the hopes of its claims of attaining a full circle. From the very moment the filming began for Stranger Things 5, clues have been dropped through assorted pictures from the sets which left fans on their own to decipher what is next. Recently, another teaser has come involving the main antagonist, Vecna, portrayed by Jamie Campbell Bower with pictures pinned at an infamous location. 

Jamie Campbell Bower was seen at the Stranger Things Creel house set on Monday, as shown in photos shared by Stranger Things Spoilers on X. Fans were particularly intrigued by the never-before-seen appearance of Vecna, now devoid of its malevolent form and instead dressed in an old-school suit, hat, and glasses. For those curious about The Creel house, it was briefly the residence of the Creel family in Hawkins, Indiana, in 1959.

In the Upside Down, however, the Creel house transformed into Vecna’s headquarters, with a fragmented version of the house also being central to Vecna’s mindscape. The house was left abandoned following a series of murders committed by Victor Creel in the 1980s. Eventually, it became the site of the final curse gate after Max Mayfield, portrayed by Sadie Sink, had a near-death experience there.

Some fans believed they spotted Holly Wheeler, the sister of Nancy and Mike Wheeler, in the images. However, others suggested that the figure peeking from behind could be Alice Creel. While both theories seem plausible given the intricate family dynamics within the show, the definitive answer will only come to light when Stranger Things releases its fifth season. Therefore, fans may need to exercise patience a little longer before all is revealed.
