Location from Stranger Things by The Duffer Brothers
The abandoned Victorian home where the Creel family was murdered in 1959 — the childhood home of Henry Creel, who would become Vecna.
The Creel House is where Hawkins' worst nightmare was born. In 1959, Victor Creel moved his family into this house, and within weeks his wife and daughter were dead — killed by his own son Henry, a boy born with terrifying psychic abilities who had been practicing on animals and neighbors for months. Victor was blamed and institutionalized; Henry was taken by Dr. Brenner and became One, the first test subject at Hawkins Lab, and eventually Vecna, the architect of the Upside Down's hive mind. The house has stood empty for decades, radiating wrongness. When Vecna begins killing teenagers in 1986, his victims all hear the ticking of the Creel grandfather clock before they die — as if the house itself is reaching across time to claim them. Nancy, Robin, Steve, and Eddie investigated the house seeking answers about Vecna's origins, and what they found there led them to understand the true nature of Hawkins' enemy.
A decaying Victorian mansion on the outskirts of Hawkins, boarded windows and overgrown yard marking it as a place the town has tried to forget. Inside, the wallpaper peels in long strips, dust coats every surface, and a grandfather clock stands in the foyer — its pendulum long still but somehow always ticking in the minds of Vecna's victims. The attic still contains the Creel family's abandoned possessions. The house feels actively hostile, as if the walls remember what happened here and are waiting for it to happen again.
Also known as: the Creel House, Creel House, the Creel mansion, Victor Creel's house
