Chrissy Cunningham is a cheerleader introduced in the fourth season of Stranger Things, released in 2022, who becomes one of Vecna's first victims in Hawkins. Her death, and Vecna's clock imagery, quickly became shorthand online for a character being doomed before the story really begins. Fan creators turned that moment into short meme songs and soundboard clips, sharing them in edits, reaction videos and horror-themed posts. The clip endures because it condenses a well-known television death into a dark joke that fans instantly recognise.
