The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • A man is shown to have been inside a metal box surrounded by heat lamps. His face is shown beaten and bloodied, with extremely chapped lips.
  • Characters beat a few demobats to death in various brutal ways before having to flee from a swarm of them.
  • A character smashes a couple laboratory guards against the walls and snaps the neck of one them with their powers
  • Several prisoners are forced to fight against a demogorgon. It brutally kills almost all of them, and this scene may be one of the goriest in the entire show.
  • A character kills several children by snapping their bones and gouging their eyes out. Most of these children are already dead but you can still see a character killing a child the same way.
  • In the opening scene, a shirtless man is seen being bitten by the demobats in his stomach and abdomen and he starts spitting out blood.
  • A main character gets into a fight against another character, and the other character then levitates the main character and starts twisting her ankles, and then you can see bloodpouring out of her eyes. She survives this and sends the other character into another dimension, in which the character gets electrocuted and his skin starts changing.
  • A massacre goes on with all the lab people being snap crackle popped!
  • Demogorgons kill random prisoners in the Squid game but not really.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Peter Ballard's appearance while using his powers slightly changes. Its very creepy looking and might scare younger viewers. Adults should be fine however.
  • If you didn't realize beforehand, while it is crowd-pleasing, the big twist that 001 is actually Vecna and Victor Creel's son can be a shocking moment.
  • The hellish ending sequence where Henry Creel transforms into Vecna is slightly gory but mostly disturbing, similar to Anakin's death in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.
  • A main character tries going back to the normal world but then she falls into a dark room and the main antagonist of the season reminds her of her best friend's death. The character is actually hallucinating this and is in a trance. She sees her friend's dead and rotting body, and blood starts falling down the walls in the area she is hallucinating in. She is constantly reminded by the antagonist of how she was responsible for her friend's death.
