''Stranger Things 5'' Eddie's revival? Episode titles spark fan speculation

The titles of all eight episodes of the Netflix series "Stranger Things 5" have been released, and fans are already speculating. One episode that has attracted a lot of attention is the one that is said to suggest "Eddie Manson's revival."

The episode in question is episode 6, "Escape from Camazotz." Camazotz is a bat god in Mayan mythology, and its name means "god of death." With this as a background, a user on the American bulletin board site Reddit predicted, "It may suggest that Eddie was swallowed by the Demonbats and later transformed into Camazotz. Camazotz is also associated with human sacrifice, so it makes sense when you consider how Eddie died." Eddie, played by Joseph Quinn, is the leader of the Hellfire Club, who first appeared in season 4. 

Although he sacrificed himself to save his friends and lost his life in a merciless attack from Demobats (bats), he is very popular with fans and has been expected to be resurrected for a long time. If this happens, it will be very exciting, but another fan has a completely different theory. "Camazotz is also the name of a planet that appears in 'The Great Passage'. So the title must be a reference to this planet. We have already confirmed that the book is related to the plot in some way."

The Great Passage is a science fiction children's book by Madelaine L'Engle, and the work features a planet called "Camazotz" ruled by a mysterious power. As this user pointed out, in April 2023, a cover of the book was posted meaningfully on the official X of the "Stranger Things" screenwriter. However, it is also worth noting that a villain named Camazotz appears in the familiar game "Dungeons & Dragons" in "Stranger Things". Since the Camazotz in the game looks like a hybrid of a bat and a human, some see it as a parallel to Eddie's end. 

On the other hand, some speculate that Camazotz will appear as an enemy. Is there a correct answer, or is there a completely different meaning behind it? It seems we'll just have to wait for the release of season 5 to find out. Netflix series "Stranger Things" seasons 1 to 4 are currently available exclusively, and season 5 will be available exclusively worldwide in 2025.
