Besides the cyclical and unavoidable occasional leaks, the Upside Down has done well in holding its cards close to their chests, especially in the context of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. However, with each new marble being added to that jar, every fresh update has had fans scratching their heads for what is next. One of its latest teasers shows the big bad, Jamie Campbell Bower’s Vecna, and Papa Modine’s favorite lab rat, Eleven aka Millie Bobby Brown, crossing paths at the most eerie location possible.

While in Upside Down stranger things have happened, this meet-and-greet set against the most sinister backdrop leaves many wondering what other stranger twists await in the final season.

Tate Brookins recently shared a carousel of images on X that showcases Millie Bobby Brown's Eleven alongside Jamie Campbell Bower's Vecna at the infamous Creel House, much to the delight of Hawkins-hungry fans. While security at the Stranger Things set was reportedly quite "tight," the user noted this as a hint that the team was filming an important scene. Although this is not Bower's first trip back to the Creel House this season, it could be Brown's first, and rumors suggest more characters, including David Harbour's Jim Hopper, were also around.

Bower was previously spotted at the Creel House in a never-before-seen version of Vecna, shedding its sinister appearance on an old-school suit, hat, and glasses. For those who might not recall, the Creel House was briefly home to the Creel Family in Hawkins, Indiana, back in 1959, before becoming Vecna’s headquarters in the Upside Down. It also served as the location of the final curse gate after Max Mayfield had a near-death experience.

David Harbour recently appeared on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused podcast to celebrate the show’s 10th anniversary. Upon his arrival, the topic soon shifted to Stranger Things season 5 when Harbour divulged that the crew just recently read the final episode of season 5. Despite admitting how he has forever been very “critical” of the show, Harbour was all praises for how “they land the plane” in the finale, calling it the “best episode” they have done so far.

Harbour recalled the moment when the team read the final script together, noting halfway through, everyone began to cry. The actor, who plays Jim Hopper in Stranger Things, explained that the last 20 minutes were filled with "uncontrollable crying," as the show encapsulated an entire childhood for the young cast, who are now adults. Therefore, it will not be long before fans uncover the full story behind why Eleven encountered Vecna in the Creel House.
