On Stranger Things, Nancy knew how Victor Creel’s house looked after meeting him when he directed her and Robin to the house to investigate what happened.
Stranger Things returned for its highly anticipated season four premiere in May 2022, after what was an almost three-year hiatus due to the delays brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic in the film and television industry.
However, this season’s first seven episodes focused on the Creel House as the central location of the story.
The house was introduced to fans by Wayne Munson as he spoke about the legend of the house. But we get to see the house when Nancy and Robin visit Victor Creel, who directs them to the house so that they can investigate what happened to his family.
Is Stranger Things for kids?
Stranger Things season four is regarded as the darkest instalment of the series to date.
The biggest reason being that though most of the lead stars who started on the show in 2016 were still underage, most of the actors are now 19 years and older. Seemingly, it is believed that the series is not meant for kids now more than ever.
As such, since the first season, the series has been suggested as better suited for teenagers over the age of 14 and above.
Stranger Things: How did Nancy know what Victor Creel’s house looked like?
Before Nancy and Robin found out what the Creel house looks like, the house was introduced to viewers through Wayne Munson, who is Eddie’s uncle in the story.
Wayne details the legend surrounding the house to viewers, explaining how the Creels moved into the house in 1959. Legend had it that the husband and wife, Victor and Virginia, moved into the house with their two children, Henry and Alice.
After moving into the house, something in the house drove Victor crazy, and he ended up killing his wife, daughter, and son by gorging out their eyes.
Legend supposed that Victor escaped custody and was back in town to continue his murdering spree.
In pursuit of more information about the legend, Nancy and Robin visited the local library and found a conspiracy theories publication called The Weekly Watcher.
The publication revealed that Victor claimed the house was possessed by a demon that killed his entire family after he tried to exorcise it from the house.
Moreover, Victor believed that the demon left him alive as punishment. This article led Nancy and Robin to the Pennhurst Asylum, where they met Victor and heard his side of the story. This is how they ended up visiting the Creel house.
