Could you imagine a better fit for the role of Victor Creel in Stranger Things 4 than Robert Englund? Not only is he a cinema legend, but the show’s A Nightmare on Elm Street spin via Vecna makes Englund’s addition to the Season 4 ensemble the ultimate treat.

In Stranger Things 4, the characters in Hawkins find themselves threatened by a new malevolent force, Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower). Formerly Henry Creel, Vecna now targets teenagers struggling with past trauma. When Vecna attacks, his victims appear to go into a trance, completely paralyzed and helpless in Hawkins. However, Vecna really has them trapped in his mindscape where he ultimately kills these individuals, killing them up in Hawkins as well.

While Englund and the role of Victor Creel, Henry/Vecna’s father, is certainly a perfect match, during a recent interview, Englund revealed that he actually auditioned for a Season 3 role first, and explained that he “misfired” in that audition.

Hear all about that audition, what it was like working with Barrie Gower and Duncan Jarman’s special effects makeup, what struck him most about sharing the screen with Natalia Dyer and Maya Hawke, and so much more in this Stranger Things 4 interview!
