Hailing from the Upside Down, Vecna has the ability to create illusions in people's minds and then while they're trapped in them, in the real world they stand there catatonic, start floating, then he breaks all their bones and their jaws and pops their eyes out - and then they die. Jamie Campbell Bower joked that starring in Stranger Things was a bittersweet experience thanks to the toilet trouble his Vecna costume caused him.

We don’t want to play favorites…but this is definitely our favorite Stranger Things costume from season four. Not only is it super comfy, but it also gives you full permission to walk around with pizza all night. And no, you don’t have to share. Or, a rummage through your mom’s wardrobe. Who knew that’s where Nancy and Robin got the inspiration for their undercover look! SCALE MODEL (not today): Given the dimensions of this costume it would have taken me more time to create a scale model than make a torso mannequin with a foam wrapped head - which is shown in the images attached. So, every time Jamie peed, he had to use his big claws to “hover over the urinal” with his stylist standing outside the bathroom to wait for his call to come help. He says he can still recall the shame.Who can really blame Mike for going into full Cali mode when he goes out to visit Eleven and Will for spring break? He was coming from cold, barren, Indiana! Remember that thing we just said about the kids having great looks this season? That may have been a slight overstatement as we take a look at Eleven’s outfits. There’s the iconic dress and shirt combo she wears roller skating, and the white bodysuit she wears in Nevada. Season 4 sees the introduction of Vecna, a malicious being akin to Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street, who preys on the past traumas of children and murders them from the Upside Down with telekinetic powers. Vecna is easily the most cunning and humanoid creature the heroes have faced yet, inspired by the cold and calculated design of the Night King from Game of Thrones. Originally thought to be legendary Freddy actor Robert Englund under the proverbial hood, part 1's finale reveals Vecna as a transformed One from Hawkins Lab.

You don’t have to think very hard to put together this Dustin costume. Just put on your thinking cap! Literally. Previous BTS footage revealed Vecna's prosthetic suit during episode 4's thrilling final sequence with Max (Sadie Sink) in his Mind Lair, with Finn Wolfhard commenting on the six-hour-long makeup process. Other reports have stated that the artists took between seven and eight-and-a-half hours to get Bower into the full-body suit. The new video can make these estimations misleading because of the sped-up quality, but the revolving crew of makeup artists and Bower's meme-worthy habits indicate that it did take a considerable amount of time to get the actor into the application. Organizing prior to creating is the most cost effective way to do anything of merit, and it is also easier to justify expenditures when you can present your ideas, in graphic form, to your financiers or significant other. The rough sketches offered below are my first ideas for the Vecna costume. The prototyping stage often requires actual materials, and with planning (did I mention planning?) you can decide what you need and when. SPOILERS AHEAD: Without giving too much away from the most recent season, the character Henry is cast out into the Upside/Down and horrifically transformed by blood-red lightning into the vine-infected Vecna (portrayed by Jamie Bower). His transition is punctuated by both physical and emotional pain because he was vehemently rejected by his only metaphorical kin Eleven (actress Milly Bobby Brown) and because of this, my costume design weighed heavily on me for weeks prior to starting the final build. I also had to consider that Henry, much like Pennywise the Clown (from Stephen King’s IT), lay dormant in his domain until he felt it was the proper time to strike and/or to complete his journey from human to God-king of the Upside-Down. The team that created Vecna masterfully captured the final phase of his tortured transformation - trying to recreate this same build would have been foolish (financially and artistically), instead I chose to both honor the Stranger Things’ Special FX Team’s creation, as well as offer a phase of Vecna’s metamorphosis that did not make it to film. It was also more cost-efficient to create this version rather than creating a body cast of my son, hire a team of artists and then spending 10-12 hours slathering my son with latex and makeup on Halloween morning.These costumes might not look badass at first glance, but anyone who’s a true Stranger Things fan will know the true meaning of these looks. Behind these frills are two detectives at work! The whole Hawkins gang had tons of great looks in season four, and Max is no exception. But for Halloween, go for the most iconic look: her levitation outfit.

He added: “I’d love to work with anyone in the young cast and I’d like to be able to get to anyone’s brain.” Feeling like a misunderstood, rebellious cheerleader? Cue up the Chrissy costume! And subsequently, the “Chrissy Wake Up” song that people will be singing to you all night. Remember to make your costume both durable and comfortable. In our haste to make something cool we may forget this simple mantra. My son likes to wear these same creations for an entire day of school during Homecoming week; his costume must be ready to walk the crowded halls, as well as sit in an industrial quality desk chair for 50-80 minutes at a time - depending on the schedule for the day. In an interview with E! Red Carpet, the actor gave a tiny hint on what may happen to the Hawkings gang in season five by saying: “We know that Vecna and Will have a history.”

So, take a trip to Hawkins this Halloween and impress everyone with your on point Stranger Things costume. Earlier this month, Jamie appeared as a guest on SiriusXM and cleaned up our doubts about Vecna. And he admitted that for him, the most awkward thing about playing Vecna was trying to use the bathroom. Jamie’s face must be familiar to some movie fans. He’s famous for playing Caius in The Twilight Saga, young Grindelwald in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 and Fantastic Beasts: The Crime of Grindelwald and Jace in The Mortal Instrument: City of Bones.
