The history of the Upside Down remains mysterious. Despite heavily wounding him, the group could not stop Vecna from furthering the Upside Down's invasion of Hawkins and the world at large. The group’s efforts to defeat Vecna culminated in a dual assault Eleven used psychic projection to confront Vecna within his own mind, while Nancy, Steve and Robin traveled to the Upside Down version of the Creel House to attack his real body. Dustin, Nancy, Max and others began investigating the murders, nicknaming the killer 'Vecna' after a character from Dungeons & Dragons.

He began psychically tormenting and murdering a host of Hawkins residents, using their deaths to open a series of new gates. In 1986, Vecna took a more direct approach in his attempts to destroy humanity. However, this proxy form was rendered useless after the new Gate was shut, and the psychic link disabled once again.
This biomass was then combined to create a proxy form, an avatar through which Vecna could act in the human world. With the Upside Down’s psychic link reestablished, Vecna reanimated the dormant fragment of the Mind Flayer and used it to kidnap and possess multiple humans and rats, feeding them chemicals and melting their bodies into puddles of biomass. On June 28, 1985, a new gate was opened by hidden Soviet forces operating beneath the newly built Starcourt Mall. A piece of the Mind Flayer hiding at Brimborn Steel Works was also affected, its particles scattering across the floor of the facility dormant, but not destroyed. However, in late 1984, Eleven interfered by closing the Mothergate, severing the psychic link between the worlds, and killing the Demodogs and tunnel organism in the process. Crops started to rot, and a gigantic vine-like organism, stemming from the Mothergate, burrowed beneath Hawkins an elaborate series of tunnel-like structures were formed, through which adolescent Demogorgons known as "Demodogs" could travel and congregate.
įollowing the opening of the Mothergate, the Upside Down began to corrupt the surrounding small town of Hawkins, Indiana. The entirety of the Upside Down was essentially one gigantic organism, with all its contents and agents psychically connected via Henry and the Mind Flayer. The alien vines, along with the Demogorgons and a species of bat-like creatures, Demobats, were key members of the hive mind. However, unlike the human world, the mirror-dimension was overrun with alien vines, spores and membranes, being completely devoid of human life.
Through some means, this action also formed a perfect copy of the human world exactly as it existed on Novemthe rock-strewn dimension potentially transformed to become this new place. įour years later, Eleven made cross-dimensional psychic contact with the hive mind and opened the "Mothergate" at Hawkins Lab. He exploited the particle-creature’s capabilities to form a shared hive mind, allowing him to psychically possess other living beings. Exploring the realm, Henry encountered "so many things" using his abilities, he reformed the particle-creature into a giant spider-like entity, which would later be known as “the Mind Flayer”. On September 8, 1979, Henry Creel, a psychopathic Hawkins Lab test subject with psychokinetic abilities, was marooned in the other dimension after Eleven sent him through a tear in time and space. A mysterious dormant organism, consisting entirely of silver-black particles, also inhabited the dimension. īefore the Upside Down formally came into existence, it was preceded by something else: a dimension of sprawling, floating rocks, populated by alien vines and a race of humanoid predators. The dimension was in some way 'created' on November 6, 1983. The Upside Down was a name given to describe a mysterious alternate dimension existing in parallel to the human world.
