Horror legend Robert Englund made a special appearance in Stranger Things 4, playing the murderous character Victor Creel. He was certainly an interesting character, but he wasn’t featured for very long, leaving many questions about Victor left unanswered. Leave it to Englund to now step in to fill in some of those blanks.
In a new interview with Collider, Englund shared the story about how Victor was blinded. The Freddy Krueger actor believes Victor felt so remorseful that he couldn’t save his family that he blinded himself as a result, feeling too “blind” to see the dangers posed to his family until it was too late.

It’s a tragic backstory, but Englund added that he isn’t sure there’s any room for redemption with this character.
Robert Englund Teases a Return in Season 5
Perhaps some more answers about Victor Creel will be explored in the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. Englund pointed out how the fourth season set up a way for Victor to return in season 5 to have his ultimate fate revealed, though whether that ends up happening or not remains to be seen. As Englund puts it:
Stranger Things 4 is streaming on Netflix with the second batch of episodes set to premiere on July 1, 2022.
