Oh No! Stranger Things 4 Finale May Confirm Huge Vecna/Will Theory
WARNING! This article contains SPOILERS for Stranger Things season 4, vol. 2!

Will was abducted by a Demogorgon and taken to the Upside Down in Stranger Things season 1, with the character then being possessed as a host for the Mind Flayer in season 2.

Whenever the influence of Vecna is near, Will feels a chilling sensation on the back of his neck.
