StrangerThings villain Vecna was created by the same prosthetics artist responsible for GameOfThrones' icy villain: “They wanted their own version of the Night King, and they thought ‘Well, why don’t we just contact the guys who made [him]?'”
Before joining the smash Netflix hit, Gower won three Emmys for “Game of Thrones,” which saw his company produce the prosthetics for the Night King, the ice-covered leader of the White Walker hordes that threaten Westeros. When Gower got the call about working on “Stranger Things” in 2019, he was approached because series creators the Duffer Brothers were fans of his “Game of Thrones” work, and were looking to create a similar villain for the show’s upcoming season.
The design remained mostly consistent from the art to practical effects stage, although there were some alterations to make the form less elongated and fit a real human body. According to Gower, the Duffers were adamant that, unlike the Demogorgons or the Mind-Flayer of seasons past, the character be created almost entirely via practical effects, to create a more tangible, human presence.
“We approached this more as a full body prosthetic makeup rather than a guy in a creature suit,” Gower says. “Because he was gonna be interacting an awful lot and close up with cast, there’ll be an awful lot of movements. It was very strenuous role as well. Jamie did all of his own stunts, but we wanted the appliances to be very close-fitting due to the design of Vecna, it’s very slender and sleek. And we didn’t want any buckling in the rubber or anything like that.
