How Many People Were Flayed In Stranger Things

So, you've been binge-watching Stranger Things, right? I mean, who hasn't? It's like the ultimate '80s nostalgia trip, with a dash of horror and a sprinkle of friendship goals. But hey, have you ever stopped to think about the, ahem, less savory aspects of the Upside Down?

I'm talking about the Demogorgons, the Mind Flayers, the creepy crawlies that make us check under our beds at night. And, of course, the flaying. Yeah, you know what I mean. The part where poor Barb gets... well, let's just say she has a very unique hairstyle in the Upside Down.

But how many people have actually been flayed in Stranger Things? It's a question that's been bugging me since I finished season three. So, I did a little digging. You know, for science.

Barb: The Original Flay-ee

Let's start with the most obvious victim. Barb, poor, sweet, nerdy Barb. She was the first character we saw get the full Upside Down makeover. And let me tell you, it's not a good look. One minute she's minding her own business, the next she's a human skin rug. Not cool, Demogorgons. Not cool.

But here's the thing, Barb's not the only one. Oh no, the Upside Down has a whole buffet of victims. So, let's dive in, shall we?

Season One: The Buffet Begins

After Barb, it's like the Upside Down says, "Oh, you liked that? Here, have some more!" And boy, does it deliver. In season one alone, we've got the Hawkins National Laboratory scientists. You know, the ones who thought it was a good idea to mess with the Upside Down in the first place. Spoiler alert: it wasn't.

Then there's the poor soul who becomes the first Demogorgon snack. And let's not forget the guy who gets a face full of vines. You know, just your average day at the office.

Season Two: The Buffet Gets Bigger

Season two, and the Upside Down is really hitting its stride. We've got the pumpkin patch victims. You know, the ones who thought they were just going to a fun little Halloween party. Spoiler alert: it wasn't.

And then there's the poor guy who becomes a human pin cushion for the Mind Flayer. Ouch. That's got to hurt. And no, I don't want to know how they filmed that. Some things are best left to the imagination.

Season Three: The Buffet Goes International

By season three, the Upside Down is really branching out. We've got the Russians getting a taste of the Upside Down. And let me tell you, they do not look happy about it. I mean, who would? It's not like they're getting a nice little spa day down there.

And then there's the poor guy who becomes a human jungle gym for the Mind Flayer. Again. I mean, come on, guys. Can't we all just get along?

So, How Many People Were Flayed?

Alright, alright, you're probably wondering, "How many people have actually been flayed in Stranger Things?" Well, let's do a little math. We've got Barb, the Hawkins Lab scientists, the pumpkin patch victims, the Russians, and a few others I might have missed. So, let's say... oh, I don't know, around 20? Give or take a few. It's not an exact science, you know.

But hey, that's just a rough estimate. The real question is, who's next? I mean, it's not like the Upside Down is running out of victims any time soon. And let's be real, it's not like we're not going to tune in to find out.

So, there you have it. The definitive answer to the question that's been keeping you up at night. You're welcome. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some nightmares to attend to. Until next time, folks. Stay safe. And for the love of God, stay out of the Upside Down.
