"Everyone Gasped": Stranger Things' Vecna Star Fell During Season 4's Most Intense Scene, But The Crew Was Concerned About Something Else
Bower reveals a BTS mishap.
Despite it becoming an iconic pop culture moment, Stranger Things star Jamie Campbell Bower revealed that one season 4 moment saw him suffer an embarrassing on-set mishap. Making his debut in the new episodes released in 2022, Bower's Vecna emerged from the shadows as the ringleader behind every incident involving the Upside Down. While Stranger Things' cast of heroes was able to pull off a pyrrhic victory, Bower is confirmed to reprise the role in season 5.
As Bower looked back on his career during a panel at Megacon Orlando that Screen Rant attended, the star revealed how season 4's standout moment also saw him suffer one of his most embarrassing accidents during production. In the scene where Vecna attempts to claim Max's (Sadie Sink) and use her as another key to bridge the two worlds, Bower states that he suffered an unfortunate fall. When Max pulls the vine from Vecna's neck, he shared that he slipped on a wet patch on the floor:
I actually fell over when we were shooting that scene. Yeah, there's a bit when she pulls out the vine. Before she starts running, she pulls out the vine from Vecna's neck, and it was a bit wet on the floor, and I fell over, and everyone gasped.
While Bower assumed that the crew would be concerned about what happened to him, their worries were focused on the potential damage to make-up and costuming. Check out Bower's reflection below:
So, I was like, oh, they feel really bad for me, and they just don't. They feel really worried about how expensive the make-up was.
Did Bower's Accident Impact Stranger Things Season 4's Most Standout SceneMax's Escape Is A Standout Motion For The FranchiseDespite Bower's concerns, it is clear from the audience's reactions to season 4 that the on-set mishap didn't impact the execution of the scene. Set to Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill," Max's escape is a culmination of her struggle throughout the first half of season 4, as she overcomes her self-isolation and grief with the help of her friends. In a season where the core cast is more divided than ever, Max's win over the mysterious villain is a much-needed glimmer of hope.

Alongside incredibly strong performances from Bower, Sink, and the rest of the cast, the scene also stood out due to its use of music. This set a trend where audiences could remix songs and prompted a personal reflection on a music selection to overcome Vecna. Furthermore, the scene inspired a resurgence for "Running Up That Hill," not only allowing it to chart again but helping it peak at number one in eight countries.
Our Thoughts On Bower's Stranger Things BTS StoryThe Actor Has Left A Strong Impact On FansThough Bower may have suffered an unfortunate accident on-set, the actor still made an incredibly strong debut in Stranger Things season 4. Building upon small clues spread throughout past seasons, he quickly established Vecna as a compelling villain. He endures in somewhat of a tragic origin, yet that does not take away from how terrifying he could be in the present-day story.

However, with viewers bound to be revisiting Stranger Things' past seasons in the lead-up to season 5, many may look upon Max's escape from Vecna with a new perspective after hearing Bower's recollection.
