The Demogorgon is the otherworldly being that caused a massive upheaval in the town of Hawkins, Indiana in 1983, but it's history may go much deeper than what is seen on screen in Stranger Things.
Just as many horror movie monsters throughout history are a representation of the fears of the time period from which they hail, The Demogorgon seems to be a manifestation of American paranoia about communism and Russian infiltration in the US.
There's also an interesting link between the Demogorgon and Eleven. They may connected; two sides of the same coin; that the Demogorgon is actually the Upside-Down version of Eleven. I'll be going over all the evidence I could find to support this theory.
The Demogorgon is a tall humanoid creature that dwells in the parallel dimension known as the "Upside-Down". The creature seems to be a culmination of functions drawn from the creatures of our world, so I'll also analyze the similarities to an array of real world animals.
In this episode of Horror History, I'll be covering the entire known history of the original creature from The Upside-Down: The Demogorgon. This episode will focus on the Demogorgon from Season 1 of Stranger Things, who is also part of the species referred to as the Demogorgons. In future videos, I'll cover other notable members of this species.
This video will break down the earliest chronological reference to The Demogorgon, it's connection to Project MK-Ultra, it's astral encounters with Eleven, the opening of the gate to the Upside-Down, the victims it devoured in 1983, the scenes with Will Byers, only seen in the Stranger Things comic book series, and the final battle with Eleven.
For this analysis, I'll only be considering the canon material, in this case: the web series Stranger Things and the Stranger Things comics.

I know that El's mother is alive and physically exists in our universe, but she's practically vegetative. I think the Demagorgon is the physical embodiment of El's mother's consciousness in the other dimension, hungry and alone, hence its connection to El and vendetta against Hawkins.

I think I can explain the reason why the demogorgon goes for wills mom instead of him. It must be a hypervore meaning that when it sees food, all it can think of is eat eat eat. It’s never full and all little bit of food is a life source so if you see a smaller pizza slice next to the bigger one, you’ll go for the bigger one cause it will sustain your hunger better.
Would love to see a horror history on Momma Voorhees.

I was super bumbed out when its revealed in season 2 that creatures are all linked to the mindflayer. I hate the idea of evil being tied to a single entity so when its defeated its happily ever after, then season 3 had that beautiful moment at the end where the russians feed that guy to a demogorgon thats alive and well even after the gates been closed. Words could not describe my joy. I love the idea of more mysteries and threats rather than the one big bad guy. Something about knowing theres other powerful creatures around causing havoc is comforting.
Can you imagine how were his presentations at school?! This is sooooo cool man! I really do admire you :3

After season 4... I don't much understand how the Demogorgon could take will into the upside down. They spent the entire 4th season talking about how hard it was for vecna to open doorways...yet this monster could easily do it...also without killing someone.

Itsoon explained. The only One able tò open stable portal Is Eleven, but She needs a counterpart tò stabilite her power (demogorgon, 001, and similar). The stable portal of season 1 weakens dimensional textures, so demogorgon travel between 2 universe. Here Is a mistake: nobody really knows if demogorgon can open, thats Just what the children think. Vecna could have opened temporary portals letting his favorite demogorgon go

It's simple. The Demogorgon is a Warp entity. It was drawn to our realm bc 11 is a rogue psyker. The Demogorgon can't really ever be truly killed, on banished to aether.
new information has come out that supports the demogorgon being immune to gunfire even in the upside-down in case anyone wanted to know or thought it might be weaker in it's home dimension for some reason. the source is the new DLC for farcry 6, where you travel to the upside down and the demogorgon chases you and is immune to damage.
Really been appreciating your constant man! Keep up the great work 👍
"Way back" still applies because they jump to flashbacks prior to the currentyear, as well as it being set in the 80s. So it's not as wrong as you felt it was.

I haven't watched Stranger Things at all yet, being into creature features, stumbled on to the Demogorgon in some horror list and found it interesting.
Damn it, Zac. Right before I go off to try to get some work done. Again. 😂
so if you notice, after season 4 finished, i rewatched the show, and noticed that when will gets spooked, the creatures left hand is larger, and it telekinetically opens the byers shed, which made me wonder if it was Vecna who took will, not the Demogorgon
@thatcorruptdino
Жыл бұрын
I still believe it's a demogorgon. 1. The claw on the other hand is obscured by darkness. 2. The face was probably an error 3. Head is way too big to be Vecna 4. It's back legs are the same shape as the Demogorgon 5. It has the EXACT same body shape as the demogorgon 6. It probably wasn't telekinetically, because the demogorgon could have been crawling on the SIDE of the shed and outstretched its claw to open the door. The only thing that I can't explain is the clock sound.
Will you also be doing a Horror History episode on the Mind Flayer?

In season one, I feel like he was gathering information on the real world for the mind flayer because in season 2, it sends an army of Demogorgons. Technecally demodogs. It was still a mindless monster in season one, the mindflayer was just using all of it's power to control this one. It was probably the only demogorgon at that point until will vomits out a little slug boy.
Who’s here after we find out eleven is the one who created the upside down
@amykruger8527

She did not create the upside down she „only“ opened the gate to it. The upside down world goes far back for which are hints throughout the season(s). The biggest one is Dustin explaining his assumption that the upside down already existed when dinosaurs were alive. If you turn on the subtitles there are also a few hints whenever vecna attacks or in episode 7 during the battle between One and El. The background music is described as eldritch sound or music and eldritch might be a link to Lovecraft and his work (multiverse/eldritch creatures inhabiting the world before mankind did etc.) since Stranger things is partly inspired by it 👉🏻👈🏻😅
Wow interesting story, I haven't seen this film or this monster, great video thanks 🖤👻

I love this channel. I’m the kind of person who (dorkishly) is more into lore and law than most stories. I’ve read ASOIAF multiple times, but I rather read the wikis for Facts and Theories.
It does not priorotize taking more people In the finale when it attacked those lab guards at the school He was drawn there because of all the blood spilled when eleven crushed the brains of those agents It was weak and hurt after getting his butt kicked by steve and the other teens and it needed to eat on order to heal itself Plus the smell of so much spilled blood could be iresistable to it the same way it is to a shark

MK-ULTRA took place in around the 1968-1970 and had four people in it. Gloria, Ken, Alice, and Terry. Alice was actually able to see into the future(?) where she saw monsters (yes, plural) with flower like faces and a child with buzzed off hair. Terry met Kahli and formed a bond with her, which may be part of why Kahli and Jane had an immediate bond. Terry could also go into the void-ish in-between place El goes into when searching for someone. Here, Terry talks with Kahli about Brenner and such. I thought this was something to mention, just a bit of extra information. The time stamps for MK-ULTRA aren't exact, but they are the general times.
It be soooo cool if you covered Resident Evil!
