Was the Demogorgon Cgi?

It may surprise you to learn that Stranger Things' already iconic 'Demogorgon' monster was not, in fact, a pure CGI creation. In keeping with the show's '80s inspirations, including creature features like The Thing and Aliens, practical effects were at the forefront.

How was the Demogorgon made?

The creature originated from the parallel dimension known as the Upside Down. When Eleven, a psychic test subject from Hawkins National Laboratory, made interdimensional contact with it, a gate between dimensions opened at the lab. The creature passed through, terrorizing Hawkins for approximately a week.

Is a Demogorgon real?

No. The Demogorgon, also known as the Monster, is a predatory humanoid creature that originated from the parallel dimension known as the Upside Down. It is a fictional character in TV series Stranger Things.
