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
- The Mind Flayer is the shadow entity that commands the hive mind — Vecna later revealed himself as its true architect
- Gates between dimensions can be opened by psychic power or by Vecna targeting victims in Hawkins
- The atmosphere contains toxic spores that cause illness and eventual death in humans with prolonged exposure
