Stranger Things villain gets epic reintroduction
NetflixStranger Things Season 5 is still a way off from being on our screens, but one iconic villain has made his return in an epic new way.
As Netflix‘s biggest original show, Stranger Things is a topic that always has something to talk about.
With Season 5 lurking on the horizon, fans are eagerly waiting to find out what happens to the fictional town of Hawkins, and if any spin-off stories could carry things on.
However, fans in Las Vegas have been treated to (or scared by) an appearance from the ultimate Stranger Things villain.
Stranger Things villain gets epic reintroduction
The Las Vegas Sphere has showcased a projection of Stranger Things villain The Mind Flayer as part of a new epic installation.
The Mind Flayer is a mysterious entity made up entirely of silver-black particles, originating from an unknown alternate dimension. It also goes by different names, with its main form known as The Shadow Monster.
During the Stranger Things Season 4 finale, we finally discover the origins of The Mind Flayer, giving us more context to the fight between Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and Henry Creel (Jamie Campbell Bower). Turns out Henry isn’t only Vecna, but The Mind Flayer itself – though it’s all a little more complicated than that.
On the exterior of the Las Vegas Sphere, The Mind Flayer can be seen flexing its dark powers once again, intertwined with a VR ad for Meta.
Stranger Things fans react to Las Vegas Sphere installation
“That’s probably the coolest use I’ve seen for it so far,” one fan posted on X/Twitter in response to the clip. “Imagine looking up and seeing this,” added another.
“I want to bring someone back from 200 years ago to see this,” a third added.
Though The Mind Flayer is clearly a fictional villain in Stranger Things, that hasn’t stopped fans from being scared.
“Imagine how scary it would be driving by seeing this!” one fan commented. “I would be screaming and running through the streets,” added another.
“I would 100% crash my car if I was driving nearby & suddenly this happened,” a third summed up.
