Stranger Things 4’s Michael Myers Mask Theory Is Good News For Eddie
WARNING! This post contains SPOILERS for Stranger Things season 4!
An eerie fan theory for Stranger Things season 4 suggests that since Eddie was wearing the Michael Myers mask, he won’t stay dead for good. While Stranger Things’ on-screen deaths have so far never set up a complete resurrection in the next season, viewers are holding out hope that fan-favorite character Eddie Munson’s fate won’t stay permanent. Alongside hints about Eddie taking on the role of a referenced Dungeons & Dragons character, one theory speculates that Halloween’s Michael Myers holds the answers for Eddie’s return.
While Eddie only had one season to shine and captivate audiences, the character indisputably has the most devastating death in Stranger Things. He spent Stranger Things season 4 on the run after he was accused of killing Chrissy Cunningham, who was actually murdered by Vecna/Henry Creel. As Eddie was introduced to the true nature of the Upside Down, Vecna’s curse, and the danger that Hawkins was in, Eddie teamed up with Dustin Henderson and friends to try to kill Vecna. In a final moment of incredible heroism, Eddie sacrificed his own life as he stood against a swarm of Demobats in order to buy his friends time. While Eddie’s death was confirmed by Stranger Things’ showrunners, theories have abounded about how the character could return for the final season.
