The Stranger Things documentary has arrived – and it's here to remind us how much scarier Vecna could've looked on screen.
In the documentary, VFX Art Director Michael Maher Jr. explains that the team went through "maybe 100 different looks" for Vecna (played by Jamie Campbell Bower), including one that is pretty clearly Cenobite-inspired (specifically the Cenobite known as Chatterer, who only communicates through the clicking of his teeth) (via WhatsOnNetflix). Another design sees him wearing a cloak, which is maybe a little on the nose, given the Grim Reaper of it all (i.e. Vecna bringing about the end of everyone's lives), while another sees him looking maybe a bit too close to the Mind Flayer with some spider-like limbs.
