While the earlier teasers for season 4 suggested the primary villains would be humans from Hawkins Lab, Russia, and the United States government, the official trailer reveals that Stranger Things’ characters are taking on their most dangerous foe from the Upside Down yet. In addition to hinting that Stranger Things’ monster is the voice in the trailer, theories about the actor behind the villain have abounded, with many pointing at Robert Englund.
Following the Demogorgons in season 1 and the Mind Flayer in seasons 2 and 3, Stranger Things season 4’s new villain goes by the name of Vecna, fittingly named after another Dungeons & Dragons character.

With the understanding that an entire Stranger Things season 4 episode is titled “Vecna’s Curse” and Max is mysteriously seen levitating at Billy’s grave, it seems the new monster will be tormenting the characters in a far more horrifying and personal manner.
