![]() Like the fake deaths of Eleven and Hopper in previous seasons of Stranger Things, Eddie's body was never seen. There is no real reason for the time jump, only allowing the show to avoid answering some questions and filling the void with character reunions. 2 suggests that there is something that might be amiss. The oddly placed time jump at the end of vol. The most important clue from Somewhere in Time is the album cover, where "Eddie Lives" is painted on the right side. "Stranger in a Strange Land" certainly describes Eddie as Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) and viewers last saw him, while "Caught Somewhere in Time" could support another fan theory that puts Eddie under Vecna's control. Many of the songs on the album could certainly describe Eddie's newfound relationship with the Upside Down. ![]() Somewhere in Time deals heavily with themes of time, and as Stranger Things viewers know, time moves differently in the Upside Down. Eddie was killed by Vecna in March 1986, giving the series a few months between the events. The name of the metal band's mascot, who makes frequent appearances on the band's merchandise and album artwork, is Eddie. In September 1986, Iron Maiden released their album Somewhere in Time, which featured their signature mascot on the front cover. As Nancy (Natalia Dyer) is under Vecna's spell, Robin (Maya Hawke) and Eddie have an argument about his selection of music, and Eddie holds up his Iron Maiden cassette tape, screaming "This is music!" While Iron Maiden is an expected addition to Eddie's collection of music, there are a few connections between the Stranger Things character and the heavy metal band that could be mere Easter eggs, or a suggestion that Eddie could return in Season 5. Of course, Metallica isn't the only metal band Eddie is familiar with. From his wardrobe to his epic scene playing Metallica's "Master of Puppets" atop his trailer in the Upside Down, Eddie's adoration for the genre is clear. It is a well-known fact that Eddie is a massive metalhead.

At the end of Season 1, Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) was presumed dead, but was found living with Jim Hopper (David Harbour) in Season 2. The pattern of killing off likable characters is only one of many tactics that the Duffers have created throughout Stranger Things, with another being that some deaths aren't exactly permanent. However, there are a few clues that may suggest viewers haven't seen the last of the beloved metalhead. Season 1 was Barbara Holland, season 2 was Bob Newby, season 3 was Alexei - and in the Netflix series' most recent season, Eddie Munson (Joseph Quinn) joined them. Throughout four seasons, Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer have created a habit of introducing widely adored characters and killing them off by the end of the season.
