Forest Hills Trailer Park[1] was a trailer park in Hawkins, Indiana, just off Kerley County[2]. By the spring of 1986, Max Mayfield and her mother had started living out of a trailer at Forest Hills. Eddie and Wayne Munson also lived there, and had their own trailer.

History[]

1985[]

After her stepbrother Billy Hargrove's death, Max Mayfield and her mother Susan moved into a trailer in the park; Billy's father Neil Hargrove had left them and they lost their house.

1986[]

On the night of March 21, 1986, Eddie Munson and Chrissy Cunningham went into Eddie's trailer for the sole purpose of buying drugs. Max witnessed Eddie and Chrissy entering the trailer. When Eddie couldn’t find the drug Chrissy wanted, he went to his bedroom to get it. While standing alone in the trailer's living room, Chrissy was targeted by Vecna, succumbing to his curse power. After returning with the drugs, Eddie returned to the living room, and was stunned to see her in her trance, and the lights and electricity around them started to flicker. Eddie started shaking Chrissy slightly in a futile attempt to wake her up. Soon after, Chrissy began to levitate and Eddie backed up; moments later, she was thrown to the ceiling, and Eddie fell back in surprise and started screaming as Chrissy’s bones start to snap, one after the other, and her eyes were gouged out midair, horrifying Eddie and prompting him to flee the trailer.

When the lights started flickering in the Munson trailer, they also flickered across the trailer park, including in Max's trailer. Her television started to produce static, and she got up to adjust the antenna. Then, she heard screaming and yelling from outside, seeing Eddie getting into his van and driving away.

The next morning, Eddie's uncle Wayne Munson returned home, finding Chrissy's mangled corpse, which prompted him to call the police. Chief Calvin Powell and Officers Phil Callahan and Glenn Daniels. The Weekly Streak reporters Nancy Wheeler and Fred Benson arrived at the trailer park to interview Wayne and the other residents. Daniels allowed them to enter, and Vecna made Fred see a vision. While Nancy interviewed Wayne, Fred wandered off and was killed by Vecna in a forest near the park. Later, Dr. Sam Owens's agent Ellen Stinson arrived at the trailer park and discovered a gate to Vecna's dimension, the Upside Down, at the area where Chrissy had died.

Some days later, Eddie, Nancy, Steve Harrington and Robin Buckley cycled to the version of the trailer park in the Upside Down. There, they used the gate to get back to their friends Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair, Erica Sinclair and Max. Later, they all congregated at Eddie's trailer, trying to figure out a plan to defeat Vecna. They stole a neighbor's trailer and drove to the War Zone to gather supplies. That evening, Max was temporarily killed by Vecna, causing the gate to expand and destroy the trailer park.
