The scene was gut-wrenching enough and fans cannot forget it, whether they want to or not. The kicker of it all? Eddie's final words to Dustin: "I love you, man." If those words weren't already bringing on the waterworks, Dustin tearfully replies "I love you, too." And then Eddie is gone.
When he arrives, the bats have died but it's too late. He finds Eddie bleeding to death. Cradling Eddie in his arms, Dustin tries to take Eddie to a hospital but Eddie stops him. He says, "I didn't run away this time, right?" before dying, leaving Dustin sobbing uncontrollably.
The creators - the Duffer Brothers - have now shared more heartbreaking details from behind the scenes of the huge death scene, revealing that one particularly poignant moment of it was actually improvised by the actors. In the scene, Eddie Munson - the leader of the Hellfire Club - was tragically killed.
Joseph Quinn actually played some guitar in the now-famous scene in which Eddie shreds to Metallica's 1986 single, "Master of Puppets" (which has spiked to No. 1 on the charts since Stranger Things Vol. 2 dropped, BTW).
Stranger Things introduced Eddie Munson as the Dungeons and Dragons-playing friend of Dustin who was quickly blamed for the first in a series of gruesome murders in Hawkins. While Eddie ultimately sacrificed himself to help defeat the true evil behind the killings, fans were disappointed by the Stranger Things death.
While he could be bluffing, Joseph Quinn says it's “very unlikely” we'll see the return of Eddie Munson in the fifth and final season of Stranger Things.
Eddie lives with his paternal uncle, Wayne Munson. Though Wayne doesn't have a central role in the show, we see him searching for his nephew and putting up posters of him after the supposed earthquake in Hawkins.
Eddie Munson is without a doubt 2022's most beloved metalhead. The Stranger Things character, portrayed by actor Joseph Quinn, is a Dio backpatch-wearing, B.C. Rich Warlock-shredding high-school hesher who plays a ripping cover of Metallica's "Master of Puppets" in the finale of the Netflix show's fourth season.
Eddie Munson, the breakout character on the new fourth season of Stranger Things, keeps getting more metal by the day. Now, it turns out that the Dio back patch on his denim jacket was actually gifted to the popular Netfilx series by the estate of the late legendary metal singer Ronnie James Dio.
Fans are convinced that this title, combined with the song Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) shreds on his guitar before becoming yet another victim claimed by the monsters of the Upside Down, confirms Munson's return.
The hero of a Greek tragedy is usually likeable but has one fatal flaw, or serious failing. Eddie represents this character, and his fatal flaw is his obsession with Catherine. He races towards his death and it is all of his own making. Nobody else can help or stop him.
Did Eddie Munson Die? According to the Duffer brothers, yes. In an interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the writers/creators/directors confirmed that Eddie Munson is gone, and he's not coming back.
The A Million Little Things premiere answers that question (yes), but his and wife Katherine (Grace Park) and son Theo's (Tristan Byon) lives will never be the same, as executive producer DJ Nash has said since the finale. Eddie is paralyzed, with less than a 10 percent chance of walking again.
Venom's Weirdest and Most Tragic Story Was Getting Eddie Brock... Pregnant? One of the most tragic and weirdest Venom stories is how the symbiote made Eddie Brock pregnant, and this pregnancy created more chaos than Carange.
Did Eddie and Venom have a baby? Dylan Brock is the son of Eddie Brock and Anne Weying. When Anne bonded to the Venom symbiote, she somehow became pregnant with Dylan. He was created by the symbiotes in order to destroy their god Knull and sever him from the hive-mind.
Eddie heroically sacrificed himself in the Upside Down to save Dustin and the others, fulfilling his arc by facing danger head-on instead of running away, as he said he had always done. Eddie's final act of heroism was hard to watch, but made even worse by what Dustin says about him afterward.
Eddie's hanky hangs from his back left jeans pocket, meaning that he is a top or a more dominant partner.
This vital, heroic moment saw actor Joseph Quinn actually play the guitar for most of the scene, although he also had a double stand in to handle the trickier parts. A video has now been published Sunday to YouTube showing Quinn practicing the difficult guitar section.
For us, Eddie Munson was a particularly familiar character — the lovable freak who adored scaring the normies almost as much as he enjoyed recruiting fellow lost souls to the Hellfire Club, his Dungeons & Dragons campaign.
One who doesn't abide by the accepted social norms and behaviors becomes a freak, an entity to be scorned at. Eddie Munson, was that freak for most students of Hawkins High, especially for his arch-nemesis, Jason Carver.
Although he is occasionally described as "zombie-like" in the press, Eddie assumes a different guise relating to the themes of individual albums and their corresponding world tours, and has appeared as a cyborg, an Egyptian mummy and a lobotomised mental patient, amongst others.
Eddie the Head, also simply known as Eddie, is the villainous mascot of the English heavy metal band Iron Maiden. He has been on nearly all of the band's album covers, most of their music videos, and t-shirts and is also featured as a backdrop/prop/costumed character at their concerts.
Munson is a social outcast, a drug dealer, and the leader of the Hellfire Club, a group for Dungeons & Dragons fans. The first episode opens up with him scoffing at reports that the nerdy role-playing game leads to Satanism and even murder. Soon enough, Munson himself is accused of murder.
While the parts with the alternate dimension and super-powered kids and monsters remain as fictional as ever, the season's storyline drew on some very real, metal-infused 1980s history. (Eddie, meanwhile, is almost certainly named after Eddie the Head, Iron Maiden's monstrous album-cover mascot.)
Eddie Munson was born sometime between 1965 and 1966. At some point during his childhood, he became the ward of his paternal uncle, Wayne Munson, and the two of them lived in Hawkins' Forest Hills Trailer Park.
