Later that day, Eddie met with Chrissy Cunningham to conduct a drug deal with her. He then encouraged Mike and Dustin to seek out other 'lost' students who were looking for purpose and recruit them to the D&D club. When Mike and Dustin brought up Lucas's inability to join Hellfire's campaign later that night, Eddie reminded the boys of how he had welcomed them into his group at the beginning of the school year, and told them that they would be the future of Hellfire once Eddie graduated. He pointed out that he and the other Hellfire members were labeled 'freaks' by the school while students in other circles, such as the basketball team, were accepted by society. Eddie was in the middle of dramatically reading aloud from a newspaper which warned of the dangers of D&D, and when he finished the article, he jumped on the table in order to give a speech about forced conformity. On Friday, March 21, Dustin and Mike sat down in the cafeteria, at the table where Eddie and his D&D group, The Hellfire Club, were eating. Eddie was originally going to graduate in 1984, and again in 1985, but his rebellious streak and poor grades resulted in him being held back, and ultimately led to him despising the school's principal. His belief in the benefits of being unique and his disdain for social conformity often led to clashes with the popular kids, such as Jason Carver, Chrissy's boyfriend and the captain of the Hawkins High Basketball Team. Despite the rumors, Eddie flourished in the club and found purpose in reaching out to other teenagers who felt like outsiders. While attending Hawkins High, Eddie led the school's Dungeons & Dragons club, the Hellfire Club, which was despised by the town due to the rising belief that D&D was connected to the worship of Satan. Eventually, the two drifted apart once they began attending Hawkins High School, though Eddie never held animosity towards her. Eddie was impressed by Chrissy's cheer-leading while Chrissy fondly remembered Eddie's rock band, Corroded Coffin. Sometime during their attendance, Hawkins Middle School hosted a talent show in which both Eddie and Chrissy participated. The two lived at Wayne's trailer in Hawkins' Forest Hills Trailer Park.ĭuring the late 1970s, Eddie attended Hawkins Middle School alongside Chrissy Cunningham.

At some point, Al became absent from Eddie's life, and Eddie became the ward of his paternal uncle, Wayne Munson. His father was Alan 'Al' Munson, a man known for hatching dubious schemes.

In the days that followed, Eddie continued to be misrepresented as a murderer and cult leader, but Dustin consoled his grieving uncle, assuring him those close to Eddie would always remember him differently.Įddie Munson was born sometime between 19. Eventually, Eddie used the power of heavy metal to distract Vecna's swarm of Demobats as the others launched an assault at the Creel House unluckily for Eddie, the bid to lure away the bats ultimately costed him his life. Ultimately, Eddie and his friends discovered that 'Vecna' - a humanoid being from an alternate dimension called 'the Upside Down' - was to blame for Chrissy's death, and was continuing to murder others like her. Eddie also became the unfortunate target of Chrissy's boyfriend, Jason Carver, who mistakenly believed Eddie to be her murderer, and rallied members of his basketball team together in an effort to track Eddie down. This spurred him on to seek justice for Chrissy, joining forces with 'The Party' and their allies to investigate the cause of the murder. In 1986, Eddie witnessed the shocking supernatural killing of his friend Chrissy Cunningham. He was an electric guitar player in his band Corroded Coffin, and the friend of Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair and Mike Wheeler. Edward 'Eddie' Munson, portrayed by Joseph Quinn, was a main character in the fourth season of Stranger Things.Įddie was a student at Hawkins High School, and the idiosyncratic leader of the Hellfire Club, a fringe school society oriented around Dungeons & Dragons.
