21. Jamie Campbell Bower - Vecna
There are nightmares, and then there’s Vecna — the ultimate monster responsible for all the supernatural occurrences in Hawkins. Although he’s severely wounded by Nancy (Dyer), Robin (Hawke), and Steve (Keery) at the end of Season 4, Vecna manages to escape and opens the Rifts throughout Hawkins, setting his sinister plan in motion. | Netflix Photo: Netflix
