The Beginning: A Flashback to the 1980s
The segment, titled the prologue, transports viewers to the origins of the series in the year 1983, after the vanishing of Will Byers.
"Should I stay or should I go?" he vocalizes in an effort to remain composed in the Upside Down.
Events swiftly escalate into horrifying as a monstrous creature materializes and yanks Will to the domain of Vecna. "After all this time, it's time to commence," he tells the youth as sending a vine into his mouth. "The two of us, we shall create truly magnificent deeds together."

Yet he has vanished – his whereabouts and schemes unclear. Complicating the quest, the government has placed the community under armed isolation and increased the search for Eleven, forcing her into seclusion. As the anniversary of Will's disappearance approaches, arrives a profound, known fear. The final battle is approaching – and accompanying it, an evil more powerful and more deadly than anything they've faced before.
