10 TV Plot Twists That Were Hiding In Plain Sight

10. The Grandfather Clock Has Always Been Present - Stranger Things

Absolutely taking the ominous threat of the Upside Down to new levels over the course of Netflix's Season 4 of Stranger Things, the presence of the horrifying Vecna makes for one of the most chilling villains the streaming service has committed to our screens yet.

And while the ghoulish supernatural force breaking out to become the biggest threat the Hawkins gang have ever come face-to-face with acted as something of a new development to most, in truth, his presence on the show has been hinted at since the very beginning.

With Vecna's arrival on the scene in the lead-up to utterly massacring his chosen victims being heralded by some rather ominous chimes from the Creel family grandfather clock, some eagle-eyed fans were quick to note how said sounds may have actually been present in the show since Season 1.

As picked up by folks on TikTok in Chapter 1: The Vanishing of Will Byers, two chimes are present in the moments after Will falls off his bike. The clock can again be heard in Season 3 when Billy finds himself in the Upside Down, too, seemingly hinting at Vecna being the architect behind the supernatural happenings in Hawkins all along.
