Intro. Eddie Munson was born sometime between 1965 and 1968. His father was Alan "Al" Munson, a man known for hatching dubious schemes. At some point, Al became absent from Eddie's life, and Eddie became the ward of his paternal uncle, Wayne Munson.[4] The two lived at Wayne's trailer in Hawkins' Forest Hills Trailer Park. During the late 1970s, Eddie attended Hawkins Middle School alongside Chrissy Cunningham. Sometime during their attendance, Hawkins Middle School hosted a talent show in which both Eddie and Chrissy participated. Eddie was impressed by Chrissy's cheer-leading while Chrissy fondly remembered Eddie's rock band, Corroded Coffin. Eventually, the two drifted apart once they began attending Hawkins High School, though Eddie never held animosity towards her. While attending Hawkins High, Eddie led the school's Dungeons & Dragons club, the Hellfire Club, which was despised by the town due to the rising belief that D&D was connected to the worship of Satan.
