Indiana college student Alice Johnson took part in MKUltra experiments conducted by Hawkins National Laboratory's Director of Operations, Dr. Dustin theorised the Upside Down had existed for thousands, if not millions of years. Exactly how and why it came into existence is unclear. 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, this new incarnation of the Upside Down was overrun with alien vines, spores and membranes, and completely devoid of human life. Somehow, the Mothergate’s creation also caused the Upside Down to transform from its original state and become a perfect copy of the human world, exactly as it existed on November 6, 1983. įour years later, another Hawkins Lab test subject, 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. There, Henry encountered the humanoid predators and the mist-organism using his abilities, he reformed the mist into a giant spider-like entity, which would later be known as “the Mind Flayer”. The realm was home to a race of humanoid predators that dwelled on the surface, and a mysterious dormant organism, which appeared as a cloud of silver-black particles, floating amongst the surrounding boulders.Īfter Henry Creel, a vengeful and psychopathic Hawkins Lab test subject with psychokinetic abilities, got banished through a tear in time and space on September 8, 1979, he found he was “somewhere else”, a place he deemed “a realm unspoiled by mankind”. The dimension's skies were golden-brown, and flooded with countless floating boulders. ![]() The Upside Down was a name given to describe a mysterious alternate dimension existing in parallel to the human world.īefore 1983, the Upside Down's surface consisted of sprawling mountain ranges, barren wasteland and alien vines.
