The Stranger Things season 5 volume 1 premiere has left everyone in awe, and fans can't keep gushing about every scene, every episode. The sci-fi show, which was one of the most anticipated, has set the mark for the next two volumes. With brilliant acting skills and cinematography in the show, netizens can't keep calm. Several theories have been dropped by the makers; however, one of them is a scene in which Vecna, in his human form, i.e., Henry, appears scared, standing in front of a cave. But why? Let's delve into knowing more details.
Why was Vecna scared seeing the entrance of the cave?
Reportedly, as per the Broadway play Stranger Things: The First Shadow, which serves as a prequel, it explains a bit about Henry's past. In the play, it is shown that Henry loves to go into caves and have fun (when he was not possessed by the mind flayer). It is stated that while Henry was exploring the cave, he came into contact with these parts and touched them as he was pulled into dimension X. The moment he was pulled out, the scientist was immediately killed, and Vecna, aka Henry, saw how he died.
This scene comes in when Holly Wheeler has been kidnapped by Vecna. While her body lies unconscious in the Upside Down, her subconscious is wandering around Creel's mindscape. There she finds Max, and the latter reveals how she has been hiding out in Henry's mind since he put her in a coma in season 4. Max tells Holly all about Vecna and explains that she is locked in his memories now.
