Rather than creating a rubber monster suit that he just slipped on, we made this decision early on that we wanted everything to be adhered to his skin and glued on prosthetics. The walking was interesting. The feet were something that Barry and I actually had a chat about early on. Usually you have full use of your toes and can move them around, but we never quite found a way to do that. They wanted to elongate Vecna’s feet. He did ask me, “If there was one thing you could change, what would it be?” And I said I’d definitely be interested in doing more with the feet. But the walk was at first on my own figuring out the stillness and purpose of why I was walking the way I was walking. And then I had to try to make it as natural and realistic as possible while wearing the [costumed] feet. In terms of gait and poise and posture, it was about: Where is the power coming from? Where is that center of gravity? I don’t have to be wild and manic, I can be precise and chosen, and dominating.

All told, Jamie shot for 25 days and every day involved the same elaborate process. “It was just this massive production line,” Gower said. “We shot 25 days with Jamie and every day needed a brand-new set of appliances because when we removed them at the end of the day, we needed to use a mineral oil, which destroyed all the fragile, delicate edges where everything overlapped.” Add a DIY spin to the rest of the body by using this liquid latex in textures similar to Vecna’s veins and exposed muscles. But we said, “I think we can actually create something practically.” So we had an amazing mechanic called Adam Keenan who created these aluminium finger extensions that we modelled over Jamie’s fingers,’ the makeup effects expert said.As I was getting involved more in the project and the world, I was fortunate enough to be able to go into the offices and see more renderings of the world at the end of episode seven — of being thrown into the Upside Down by Mills [in the Volume 1 finale] — and then in episode nine, the creation of the Mind Lair. Were there any burning, burning questions that I had? Not that I can really remember. I was kind of just absorbing it all, going with it and allowing it to happen. You don’t have to think very hard to put together this Dustin costume. Just put on your thinking cap! Literally. Mateer said over the two-day span that he worked as Vecna, he had to remove his mask only a few times to calm some patients. The majority enjoyed the costumes and decor, with Halloween at Mateer Orthodontics having become an annual attraction in the area. The "Stranger Things" themed decorations at the office included portals on the ceiling and a wall with Vecna's vines.

Jamie Campbell Bower was already playing three roles in Stranger Things 4. Now, as the Volume 2 finale has revealed, he adds a fourth to his list. The whole Hawkins gang had tons of great looks in season four, and Max is no exception. But for Halloween, go for the most iconic look: her levitation outfit. Or, a rummage through your mom’s wardrobe. Who knew that’s where Nancy and Robin got the inspiration for their undercover look!He’s probably one of the most extensive prosthetic makeups we’ve done as a company, because he is covered from head to toe. So I think, just from a technical point of view, we had to brainstorm over how we were going to split up all these appliances,’ Barrie outlined. Sadie Sink on the Heart of 'Stranger Things 4' and How Volume 2 Sees Max "Braver Than She's Ever Been" We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.

Whether you choose a standard size or give us your custom measurements, the costumes are personally tailored for you from scratch, some of which can be adjusted in style and size.

That was housed into a sort of under-glove that he used to slip on every day, and then that had a prosthetic glove sleeve that went over the top of that. So we were able to give him actual extended fingers.’ Finally, we get to the final Stranger Things costume: Vecna. It’s the easiest costume out of the lot, and definitely the most terrifying. We recommend staying away from mirrors while you wear this look. And hot places. That bodysuit may depict your innards, but there is no airflow in that Upside Down! Pretty much. Because it takes so long [to get into costume] and we should be avoiding anything going wrong. Patients in September start asking, 'What are you guys going to be?'" Mateer said. "Now they're expecting, not only the costumes, but the experience also." The team’s immense hard work definitely paid off, as they were instrumental in creating one of the scariest, most gruesome and sensational-looking villains ever seen on TV.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

At the end of Stranger Things 4, the group is able to overpower Vecna temporarily, as they work together from separate corners (and dimensions) of the world to outsmart and flambé him out of a two-story window. But, in classic Mike Myers fashion, the villain survives the fall and retreats, hurt but still alive, by season’s end. There’s always an opportunity for the good guys to win. I think in this case, they’d have to be way smarter than they have been thus far, because Henry is not one to forget and not one to let things slide. Gaten Matarazzo (who plays Dustin) told a story about seeing you on set with half of your costume on and how it was unsettling. The Duffer brothers had a clear idea of how they wanted Vecna to look (Picture: Courtesy of Netflix)
