The latest sneak peeks from Stranger Things season 5 have sparked exciting new theories about the final season.

Stranger Things Day was celebrated by fans yesterday and Netflix also joined in by sharing exciting updates about the series. Some fans believe they have found hidden clues hinting at the possible return of Eddie Munson.

Eddie Munson Will Return as Camazotz

Netflix has released a video announcing the episode titles for season 5. The sixth episode is titled “The Escape from Camazotz,” and it has left fans speculating about what it could mean. Let’s analyze the theory about Eddie Munson’s return.

In Mayan mythology, Camazotz is a bat spirit that translates to “death bat”. Fans were quick to connect this with Eddie Munson, who was tragically killed by demobats in season 4.

The new theory says that Eddie Munson might have transformed into Camazotz after his death. Camazotz is associated with death and sacrifice, which resonates with Eddie as he gave his life to save Hawkins. Hence, Eddie Munson will return as Camazotz in season 5 and will play a crucial role in defeating Vecna.

While this theory is intriguing, there is still not enough evidence to fully support it. Though it has led us to speculate a new interpretation for episode 6.

Stranger Things 5 Will Explore Dimension X

To dive deeper into this theory, it’s important to understand Dimension X first.

Stranger Things: The First Shadow showed this mysterious dark alternate dimension. It existed long before the Upside Down and is the same place where all the Upside Down’s creatures originated. Henry Creel was transported to this dimension as a kid, which gave him superpowers. Dimension X’s role in the Stranger Things universe will likely be explored in the final season.

There is also a possibility that the episode 6 title is a reference to the classic novel “A Wrinkle in Time”. In the book, Camazotz is a planet on which inhabitants are controlled by a powerful entity referred to as “IT”. It is also likely that the Hawkins crew has nicknamed Dimension X as Camazotz. This theory is further supported by a BTS image from season 5 that featured a copy of “A Wrinkle in Time”.

This suggests Stranger Things 5 will likely introduce Dimension X in episode 6 and will explore its connection with the Upside Down.

Will Eddie Munson Return in Season 5?

While both of these theories have merits, episode six will likely be about Dimension X and its origins. It makes sense that Stranger Things will finally reveal the mysteries surrounding the alternate dimensions.

As far as Eddie Munson goes, he might return a different way. If rumors are to be believed, he could still appear in season 5 but only in flashbacks. Earlier, the leaked photos from the season 5 set showed Dustin Henderson visiting Eddie Munson’s grave.
