  • “Escape from Camazotz” episode may introduce a new dimension to Hawkins beyond Dungeons and Dragons lore.
  • A fan theory highlights similarities between Camazotz in Stranger Things and A Wrinkle in Time.
  • Season 5 of Stranger Things, set in 1987, may uncover more mysteries and big reveals about its anticipated plot.

As a dedicated Stranger Things enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the Upside Down and its intricate lore, I can’t help but be intrigued by this new fan theory connecting Camazotz from Stranger Things season 5 to the planet from A Wrinkle in Time.

Hey there, fellow gamer! I can’t hide my excitement as Netflix has spilled some fresh info about the fifth season of our beloved show, Stranger Things. But here’s a thought that’s been buzzing around in the fan community – the new threat we see in season five, Camazotz, might not be just a Dungeons and Dragons reference after all.

In addition to weaving in nods to timeless cinematic masterpieces, such as the group of oddball characters grappling with the menacing alternate reality dubbed the Upside Down, the show expertly blended 80’s tunes like Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill,” Toto’s “Africa,” and Metallica’s “Master of Puppets.” This musical choice enhanced the vibrant neon atmosphere and laid-back settings, which served as a striking contrast to the looming terror that haunted the series. With Netflix unveiling the season titles for Stranger Things 5, a popular fan theory speculates about the episode titled “Escape from Camazotz,” questioning whether it could represent a fresh dimension.

Stranger Things Season 5 Might Reveal a New Dimension for Hawkins

On a recent Reddit post about Stranger Things, user Barabus33 has proposed an intriguing theory concerning the potential meaning of “Camazotz” in the upcoming season five episode lineup. For fans who have followed the series, it’s no secret that there are numerous Dungeons and Dragons references woven into the very fabric of Stranger Things. In fact, you might remember seeing the table-top role-playing game being played as early as the first episode. However, while many will be curious about the deity in D&D lore known as Camazotz, the god of bats and ruler of the Olman underworld, associated with disease and plague, this Reddit user presents another intriguing possibility.

In the 1962 science fiction novel “A Wrinkle in Time”, there’s a part where the story introduces the planet Camazotz, taken over by an entity known as The Black Thing. This ominous force is portrayed as a dark evil shadow that envelops Camazotz and manipulates its inhabitants through mind control. In the narrative, this malevolent black shadow represents the adversity the children face in their mission to locate Mr. Murray, their missing father. Although “Camazotz” might seem like a terrifying new creature in season five of “Stranger Things”, it could also potentially be a fresh dimension appearing in Hawkins, drawing inspiration from “A Wrinkle in Time”. As Barabus33 points out, the title’s beginning, “Escape from…”, suggests a location rather than a specific monster.

At present, details about what viewers can expect when Stranger Things season five is released around 2025 are scant, but it has been confirmed that the new season will be set in 1987, just a brief leap forward from where we left off in season four (which was in 1986). As we edge closer to its premiere next year, it’s certain that more narratives, major revelations, and theories will swirl around the eagerly awaited Netflix show.
