I feel like everyone\u2019s gonna really dig his character and he adds something new to the vibe of the entire show, which is fun.<\/p>\n<p>Matt Duffer added: \u201cThe Hellfire Club is a big part of the season, and it\u2019s a fancy name for Hawkins High\u2019s Dungeons &amp; Dragons Club. It\u2019s run by Eddie Munson, a major new character played by Joseph Quinn, who gives an amazing performance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cEddie\u2019s not your typical nerd; he\u2019s really into fantasy, but he\u2019s also into heavy metal music. He has a band. He\u2019s an outsider \u2014 he\u2019s the ultimate outsider in a lot of ways. He doesn\u2019t fit in at Hawkins High, except among the members of his exclusive club. Eddie is looked down upon and feared in a lot of ways by other Hawkins students. But he offers a place where Dustin and Mike can feel at home. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBoth the overall Hellfire Club storyline and especially the character Eddie Munson were inspired by the documentary series Paradise Lost. Eddie is loosely modelled after writer and artist Damien Echols, who was a member of the West Memphis Three.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What has Joseph Quinn said about joining Stranger Things season 4?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Joseph Quinn spoke to\u00a0<strong>RadioTimes.com<\/strong> and other press about what it was like to play Eddie Munsen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a really interesting thing, I think Eddie is the most enjoyable character I\u2019ve ever played,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally!
