Laura Cunningham is a minor character in Netflix series Stranger Things. She is the abusive mother of Chrissy Cunningham and is responsible for her trauma, causing her to get targeted by Vecna.
She is portrayed by Candice Rose, who played Jeremy Allen’s Mother Theresa Allen in the horror film Halloween Ends
What Makes Her a Hate Sink?[]
- Assuming Vecna's flashbacks of her are completely accurate, she abused her daughter Chrissy for her entire life due to her weight, causing her to develop a mental disorder. It is implied she silenced her husband Phillip from stopping this.
- This indirectly led to her being targeted and gruesomely killed by Vecna, a misanthrope who feeds off trauma.
- At Chrissy's funeral, she is more concerned about hunting down her killer than grieving for her daughter, whom she called her "angel". Even Jason Carver is shown to be more heartbroken for Chrissy's death than Laura is.
- She is effectively a Karma Houdini and never faces the consequences for her abuse.
