And now, let us begin...
We would like to formally announce that Stranger Universe officially endorses the subreddit
community Hawkins AV Club as a reliable source of information.

leaks and spoilers every day.
The YouTube channel “Stranger Things VIP” has shared some videos from the production
set of Stranger Things 4 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
They discovered a couple of interesting details in their visit, some which may delve into
spoiler territory, so I am going to give you a brief spoiler warning.
You’ve been warned.
Right off the bat, as seen clearly in the video, we got a new look at the Byers’ house
with Joyce’s Ford Pinto and Jonathan’s Ford Galaxie 500.
What instantly caught our attention, which the YouTube channel pointed out, is that both
of their cars have 80s California license plates.
We previously talked about this on a community post here last week but if you had any doubts
about Eleven and the Byers family moving to the Golden State, then here is the most substantial
piece of evidence that we have.
To add more fuel to the fire, the Surfer Boy Pizza van was spotted around the set here
in the street, and as previously mentioned in lots of our videos, it has an 805 area
code on its phone number, and the area code belongs to south California.
The number still isn’t activated so who knows what we’ll hear when it’s finally
activated, just like Murray’s phone number Easter egg or the Yuri phone number we got
earlier in the year.
Later on in their visit, Stranger Things VIP found out from someone who works in the crew
that a Demogorgon or some sort of creature from the Upside Down will be involved in a
scene here from California.
That is a very interesting plot detail right there and could mean a lot for the universe
of Stranger Things.
Could the Mind Flayer expand his influence to places outside off Hawkins?
Why would a Demogorgon be involved in presumably an action set piece that takes place here
far away from the small town of Hawkins where everything else happened?
One of these being kept away in Russia was already enough, and it made sense there because
the Russians know of the Upside Down and are probably experimenting with it, but California
is a whole other different place far from Russia and Hawkins.
Another interesting tidbit that was discovered here is that not only were Winona Ryder, Charlie
Heaton, and Noah Schnapp spotted at the set, but so was Robert Englund, who is of course
famous for the role of Freddy Krueger in A Nightmare On Elm Street.
He will be playing Victor Creel, a disturbed man who is locked away in a mental asylum,
which is most likely Pennhurst Mental Hospital based on previous set leaks and a small mention
in season 1.
Why would Victor Creel be involved in the California storyline?
It would be extremely unlikely for him to escape the asylum and end up all the way down
here in California, far away from Indiana.
The most likely theory, which is an interesting theory that we’ll talk about in a future
video, is that Victor Creel is a relative of Joyce Byers, maybe even Joyce’s father
himself.
Remember, the name “Byers” comes from Joyce’s ex-husband Lonnie, not Joyce herself.
So in this case, her real name is not Joyce Byers, but rather “Joyce Creel.”
In the Stranger Things universe, it is said that she has a crazy family background history,
so it would make sense for her if she doesn’t want to reveal her actual, real surname if
it reminds the average Joe at Hawkins that her father was a serial killer back in the
1950s.
It would certainly make for some intriguing family drama.
As for why Robert Englund may be here, a flashback of Joyce as a kid with her daddy could be
the explanation.

channel for Stranger Things VIP.
In other news, we have more reports from Atlanta that might also involve Englund’s character
as well.
They were filming for a bit at the Claremont House, which was previously used early on
in the production of season 4.
What I find interesting is that it was decorated as being new and clean at first but now it
looks like an abandoned old house straight out of a horror movie.
Could this be the house that Victor Creel lived on in the 50s?
Could this be where he made his brutal murder?
Hell, it could be both, especially if the victim is actually Virginia Creel, another
unannounced new character that will be played by Tyner Rushing.
If Virginia was Victor’s wife, could that make her Joyce’s mother?
That is assuming that we continue with the theory that Joyce is a Creel.
There is also another casting call, potentially one of the last few casting calls in Atlanta,
calling for a small group of townspeople in Hawkins.
If you live in or around Atlanta, and you fit the requirements listed here, you should
apply.
Anyways, here’s hoping that we get to see set photos of our favorite characters very
soon.
Overall, very exciting times.
And that is all that we have for today.
