The episode titles for Stranger Things season 5 have been unveiled, and tease a potential new villain dubbed Camazotz. The Duffers Brothers have referenced countless movies, shows and books in Stranger Things over the years, from Aliens to IT and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Perhaps the strongest influence (outside of Stephen King anyway) is Dungeons & Dragons. The franchise's young heroes are big fans of the fantasy roleplaying game and have labeled the various creatures they've encountered in The Upside Down after D&D monsters.
This includes the Demogorgon or season 4's big bad Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower). The final season will likely maintain this tradition, though story details are still kept under lock and key. Netflix recently dropped the episode titles for the upcoming Stranger Things season 5, with episode one dubbed "The Crawl" and the final episode titled “The Rightside Up," an inversion of season 1's finale "The Upside Down." One of the most intriguing is episode 6 “Escape from Camazotz,” which sure sounds like another Dungeons & Dragons monster reference from Stranger Things' showrunners.
