It was a time when the religious right was blaming all manner of crimes on devil worship. It’s still baffling to me today that I got asked to come and have this most surreal ride of my life in a brilliant TV show.Įddie Munson is into all the things that set off the satanic panic of the 1980s - D&D, heavy metal, recreational drugs.

It was clear then that Munson, played by Joseph Quinn, was a different sort of misfit among the other ‘80s-era AV club nerds we’ve come to know and love since the series debuted six years ago. The newest addition to “Stranger Things” arrived in Season 4 of Netflix’s sci-fi/fantasy series with the intensity of a 10-ton Metallica riff when Eddie Munson jumped on a table in the Hawkins High cafeteria and proclaimed that forced conformity was “the real monster!”
