The Upside Down

Location from Stranger Things by The Duffer Brothers

A dark, toxic parallel dimension that mirrors Hawkins — a dead world ruled by a hive mind and crawling with predatory creatures.

Also known as: The Upside Down, the other side, the dark dimension, the alternate dimension

What They Know

• The dimension mirrors Hawkins exactly as it existed on November 6, 1983, the day the first gate was opened
