It is tough to imagine any actor who could have played the ominous antagonist like Vecna as brilliantly as Jamie Campbell Bower did.
Vecna, one of the most terrifying monsters in Stranger Things Season 4, is entirely Jamie Campbell Bower’s fault. Vecna’s voice was enough to give anyone the chills, and the actor did a remarkable job of slipping into the role of the antagonist.
Vecna pestering his targets was a part of some of Season 4’s best scenes. In honor of Jamie Campbell Bower’s birthday, let’s look at some of Vecna’s scariest moments from the season.
Vecna’s menacing demeanor plus the fact that he tortured his victims made it obvious from the moment he first appeared in Stranger Things Season 4 that he meant business and was going to be the deadliest villain ever.
Nothing on Stranger Things has ever been more terrifying than when Jamie Campbell Bower said, “It’s time for your misery to end.” Here are some of Vecna’s most terrifying scenes from the program.
Chrissy’s horrifying demise
Page Contents
Cheerleader Chrissy (Grace Van Dien), who was plagued by visions of her verbally abusive mother, attempted to find relief by purchasing ketamine from Hellfire Club leader Eddie, which led to one of the show’s earlier deaths during the fourth season (Joseph Quinn).
Eddie searches for the pills as Chrissy has another vision. In the end, Chrissy is the one who first encounters Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower). Vecna kills Chrissy horribly; her body levitates, her bones crack, and blood pours from her eyes as she dies.
The second casualty of Vecna
Vecna kills Chrissy in his initial appearance but finds Fred to be his second victim quickly after (Logan Riley Bruner).
Similar to how Chrissy was haunted by Vecna, Fred is also plagued by images of his automobile accident from the previous year before Vecna eventually makes a frightening appearance and kills Fred in the same manner as Chrissy.
History of Vecna
Eleven’s past and Vecna’s creation are connected in the fourth season. In episode seven, Eleven recalls the atrocity at Hawkins Lab as we discover more about the “friendly orderly,” also known as One, Vecna, or Henry Creel and played by Jamie Campbell Bower.
Vecna tells how he came to be Vecna after moving into the Creel home, how Eleven banished him to the Upside Down during the massacre at Hawkins Lab, and how this ultimately caused him to transform into a monster that would torture the residents of Hawkins. As we discover more about Vecna’s past in this episode, Jamie Campbell Bower stands out as a revelation.
Max Mayfield Vecna
Vecna preys on Max Mayfield’s (Sadie Sink) sorrow over her deceased brother Billy, which is possibly the scariest approach to target him. In episode 8, Max comes up with a plot to assassinate Vecna with the help of Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin) and the rest of the Hawkins gang, and she offers herself as bait in the process.
Max forces Vecna to look for her at the Creel residence, where she tries to flee him by hiding in her fond memories. Vecna eventually finds her in her Snow Ball recollection and utilizes his abilities to torture her, which is one of the most terrifying moments.
Max starts to levitate in the actual world and finally finds himself being held by the vines in Vecna’s lair. Eleven falls into a coma while the group successfully attacks Vecna and frees Max from his grasp.
Victims of Vecna
The scene where we see Vecna’s victims’ bodies hung in the Upside Down also happens to be another gruesome Vecna scene. We see the bodies of his other targets hanging on the veins while he tries to kill Max like Chrissy and his other victims.
It is a horrifying picture that demonstrates Vecna’s genuinely lethal nature. It’s tough to imagine anybody else portraying the recognizable villain in the Stranger Things universe after watching Jamie Campbell Bower’s terrifying side on display throughout the entire season.
