Heavily Obsessed With All Of This - Tumblr Posts

i have another a veeery long theory/thoughts about will having powers, vecna, mind flayer, and some parallels from  s1-4.

(later in season 2 ep 8 we learn this important date: will’s birthday is on march 22nd)

but the creel tragedy happened in the 50s also in march - around the same days the deaths in hawkins started.

which leads me back to this commentary from Owens about anniversary effects
