Im watching pic related right now
Was going to post this as well and also Ravenous. OP is either a child or a moron maybe both. Probably both
There's a horror movie that came out a couple of years ago called "Antlers". I was hyped but covid delayed it and then I still haven't seen it. Also wendigo's and skinwalkers are distinct feather Black person myths and neither of them have anything to do with the spooky stories invented on /k/ and /x/. The feather Black person version is some guy gets thrown out of the tribe for being a rapist and can turn into a mountain lion. Some tumblrina found the stories on /x/ and googled the word skinwalker and went "WOW THIS IS ACTUALLY LE HECKIN EPIC INDIGENOUS AMERICAN PEOPLES MYTH" when one of the first stories came from Australia and the only thing they share in common is the name. Skinwalkers as you understand them are entirely a Cinemaphile invention and wendigos have nothing to do with it either.
cryptids are mostly just monsterfricker bait these days
they have more of a presence in quasi-furry porn than anywhere else
Antlers was really bad. I was very disappointed because the short story it's based on was very good.
Skinwalkers are Naguales/Nahuales are from Uto-Aztecan believes, basically sorcerers than can change skins via a ritual, like euro loup-garous/werewolfs. the whole skinwalker stuff with the antlers etc is x and k myths tough, than as said has become some weird furry stuff.
>The feather Black person version is some guy gets thrown out of the tribe for being a rapist and can turn into a mountain lion.
I obviously know you dumb homosexual. What is this reddit bullshit of replying to people and going "actually, here's exactly why you're right!"
Correct and based and correct. As someone from Arizona, where skinwalkers have been talked about by Navajos and Pimas in the local areas, it's baffling and frustrating seeing these asinine depictions of "skinwalkers" that have nothing to do with the actual myth. Imagine if someone made a movie called Fairy Killers and the "fairies" were 10 foot tall black dudes who stole chickens from local farms. That's the level of dissociation we're dealing with.
To reiterate: skinwalkers are evil people who got too into bad medicine and did something terrible to acquire shapeshifting powers, commonly the sacrifice of a family member. They can turn into animals, but their eyes don't glow when light is shined at them when they've turned like with normal animals. Additionally, the only way to kill a skinwalker is to wound it in animal form with a weapon dipped in fresh ash (which causes the wound not to heal), then tracking the person down based on that wound and killing them when they're human. Obviously a skinwalker could just die randomly as a human, but as an animal they're immortal. THAT'S what a skinwalker is. Frickin monster-fricking furry fricks the lot of you.
I'm the guy you're replying too, I don't know anything about furry erotica writers. I just know the original stories from /x/ and /k/ have nothing to do with "skinwalkers", like I said literally some tumblerina googled the name and one of the seminal stories is from australia.
>as someone from arizona
Oh shut up homosexual. I'm someone from northwest Arkansas right next to Oklahoma. A lot of shit here is named after the Osage. And you know what, Scorsese? They're all fatter drunker morons than your italian criminals.
Agreed. I will point out that the book "The Wendigo" by Algernon Blackwood (1910) is not only kino, but also far spookier than any of the /k/ and /x/ skinwalker fanfic shit. I think that was the original deviation (even then, not significantly) from the myth that other writers latched on to.
I've heard of this before, I'll have to check it out. The only story by him I've ever read is about the hunter(s?) who encounter some invisible demon that flattens the woods around it. I don't think it was the willows, it was a short story and there was only one character IIRC but it's been a long time.
I don't think I've read that one yet. But The Willos is giga kino, and I highly recommend that one too.
>you will never go down the river danube in flood with a moody swede
>you will never get stranded on a tiny little island that's slowly eroding while the waters are suicidal to enter
>you will never wake up to find your oars and rowboat both expertly sabotaged, but you KNOW you didn't do it, but your companion also KNOWS he didn't do it
It's kino whether you read it as them both being delusional, or if you read it as their theories being correct.
Sorry anon, it's not Blackwood I was thinking of. The short story I was talking about is Ambrose Bierce's "The Damned Thing"
https://www.gutenberg.org/files/23172/23172-h/23172-h.htm
Neat.
Oh yeah, if you're reading ancient literature anyway, you might as well read "What was it?" (1859).
>you will never be fighting for your life against an invisible demon while all your opium smoking friends laugh their asses off at you thinking you're delusional and you hit the pipe too much
the antlered wendigo comes from 2001s Wendigo with Erik P Sullivan (yes, Dewey). one thing to note is that it's directed by Larry Fessenden who went onto be the flamethrower guy in Until Dawn, the wendigo video game
True BUT the modern wendigo designs are too kino to care about “le realism”
There are wendigos in Antlers and Dawn of the Beast. Forest of Death and Head count have skinwalkers. All of them are shit but are fine if you ar wasted and want to watch some horrorsloppa.
i wanna see some wendussy
devil's pass is basically about wendigos
No it’s not. Devils Pass is about portals.
Its a prequel to Event Horizon.
The Ritual
Good choice.
That was a forest god subsiding on worship, literally nothing like wendigos.
Anyone remember that horror TV show that had a wedingo episode where a guy gets lost in the mountains and when he's four d he's almost malnourished to death and then proceeds to kill his family?
Scared the shit out of me when I saw it as a teenager
Fear Itself? That's the only one I can think of offhand with a wendigo episode besides Supernatural
That's it
here you go
https://collider.com/until-dawn-movie-in-development/
you should give this a watch its about a film crew going to debunk a big foot story. but its really about wendigos
Really? I thought it was aliens or something. or that it was never really explained. i dont remember anyone mentioning Wendigos
This sucked. Was not Squatchkino at all.
Exists was much better
They made one a few years ago called Antlers. It was stupid as shit though, ends with a 40 yo woman defeating it in physical combat.
The Terror season 3 featuring the Donner Party being haunted by wendigos when?
That would be badass
Concept is too good. Shelved indefinitely. Oy vey.
>one guy treks out carrying like three kids on his back while fighting off Wendigos, with as few cuts as possible
would be one hell of a tense episode
What somebody should do, who knows what they're doin, is film an adaptation of Algernon Blackwood's The Wendigo. that old ass story is some creepy shit and philosophical as well. I don't think there's a really good Wendigo movie but the next best thing is that short story. Antlers was disappointing. It worked for me about halfway and then just... blah.
>muh flying
>muh feet on fire
>good
cause theyre real and the government doesnt want you to know theyre real
That's a masterpiece but I don't quite think it fits the bill for a Wendigo monster movie
It's as Wendigo as it gets
If you're looking for the moronic Bloodborne-style wendigo like in the OP, no. But that's not a wendigo and I don't know where that meme started.
Let me guess, you think dinossaurs in movies should have feathers too?
Yes, it would make them more erotic.
the feather psyop made me lose all faith in figures of authority
It's a skinwalker and it started on /k/ and /x/ on Cinemaphile
>they could only get Jeffery Jones to do commentary on the DVD
>he's audibly raping children in the background
Heard today theyre making an “until dawn” movie adaption
a cryptid died today in my city
Frick that's rough.
Here's a screenshot from the video
There is a wendigo movie. You can watch it for free on YouTube.
I fumbled so bad at the end when I played this the first time like everyone died in the last 10 minutes because Im legally moronic
You know why right?
Indigenous peoples, otherwise known as natives, or Abbos, are mad about Wendigos getting popular because it supposedly comes from their folklore originally, and its now cultural appropriation.
see
but they have no problem appropriating the white man's culture - like drinking metho?
I don't see the point in respecting 'folklore' that was really just an excuse ignorant savages came up with to explain why the guys they sent out into the woods to starve themselves until they were hallucinating and eating poison berries sometimes came back crazy.
>Oh an evil spirit must have gotten into him lol
In Scandinavia you had people being "mountain-taken" by the trolls who live in the mountains, where it often paralleled the stories about fairies taking people away to be their servants for a hundred years. All to explain people dying on mountains where their bodies wouldn't be found.
Or just human trafficking. No need for elaborate tunnels just say the fae snatched 'em up.
No films with the Plague Doctor either.
>feelsbadman
Who owns the rights to the SCP foundation? It's just public domain as far as I know, it's an open-ended collaborative enterprise. Any studio or network could do their own spin.
do-do you think SCPgays invented plague doctors..?
Yeah what a moron! Everyone knows they were a real thing in the medieval era
There's a Russian superhero movie
UK horror flick The Reckoning.
Spanish slasher by Alex de la Iglesia set in Venice called Veniceferiana or something like that.
too sexy
Mimic monsters in general don't really seem to get made into movies much. The last big one I can think of is The Thing and its mimcry is pretty basic. I'm not sure if it's just too hard to portray well or what, but I'd love to see some sort of fleshgait (what the creepypasta skinwalkers are sometimes called) movies/books. All I can ever really find is the good, earlier creepypasta stories.
Because skinwalker shit has been perma tainted by moronic creepypasta. It's gotten so far from what the legend actually was.
It could be cool but hollywood will just make a moronic deer skull monster with all the typically cringe skinwalkerpasta tropes.
the "original legend" was literally invented on Cinemaphile you wienersucking moron
It's a Navajo legend dumbass

>wendigo
They're doing a film adaptation of Until Dawn.
The Hunger is a pretty good book about the Donner party that sort of alludes to the Wendigo as well.
for me it's
Watch Ravenous. Best Wendigo movie that was and will ever be.
kino rec
If true detective season 4 had the soundtrack to ravenous I would watch it. For me it’s https://youtu.be/vLt98WxrYAw?si=4vpraCtvjKbL2Y7x
Yeah that one's probably my favourite track. It's neat how it can be so soothing and yet horrific at once. The soundtrack in general really shouldn't work as well as it does.
I showed the movie to my parents a few years back and my mum said the music was awful. She just doesn’t get it.
Women anon… women…
Isn't The Last Broadcast about the wendigo?
Black Mountain Side was low budget but pretty neat
Ravenous is fantastic and features an interpretation of wendigos, but probably not what you're looking for.
Play Until Dawn.
Kinda lame how all they really did was mimicry voices and even that sparingly.
Don't you have sleepwakers and pet cementery from stephen king? They are respectively from skinwalkers and wnedigo
Sleepwalkers isn't about skinwalkers, it's about Jared Leto and his mom. These days he's moved on to getting victims from his island cult and band groupies.
>sit down to watch Wendigo movie
>they turn out to be reptilian monsters that look like they came out of Resident Evil
>all the outside scenes have an obnoxious blue filter on them to show it's cold, while the inside scenes look normal so it looks even more jarring

>called upon the sjörå three Thursdays in a row with a magic chant "I summon thee Seawife (Haffru) by the names of a thousand devils. I want to serve thee"[2][3] while beating the water surface three times with a stick made out of rowan tree. This chant they had learnt from an old hunter who already served the sjörå
I gotta go... do a thing.
>This chant they had learnt from an old hunter who already served the sjörå
ye olde /x/
Dawn of the Beast, which has a wendigo vs bigfoot matchup. The wendigo was interesting, more a like a spirit than anything physical, and it hypnotized people into being its slaves. Looked pretty damn sick as well. Kind of a bad movie overall though.
The Windigo is currently in theaters.
OP BTFOed
They exist. You just didn't notice.
It's kind of weird how modern smartphone-oriented society has intersected with ancient native american tribal myths to completely muddy the waters on the origins of the skindigowalker and what is/isn't tradition and also why in the modern day an antlered humanoid is for some reason in the zeitgeist
