Oh that queermo? Hell if I know. I think it was one of those interactive movie games. I think they're called The Dark Pictures or Outcast or something like that, cant remember.

Man, I wasnt even close. All those games are the frickin same though, so I wont blame myself for getting them mixed up.
>the player models were actually attractive
take me back bros, everything is ugly mutt slop now, nothing remotely attractive or appealing to look at as far as character models go

All the more reason to make a movie based on one. Audiences will think the writer made those scary mfers up and it won't be the same zombie, demon, or psychopath monster as every other scary movie.
I saw something (not sure what it was) large and humanoid in the forest behind my house a few summers ago. Scariest moment of my life when I heard it crashing through the underbrush at me. I've encountered whatever it is a few times throughout my life but this was by far the most terrifying.
I think at this point I've figured out how to act. For example, I take my dogs on long walks through the forest and often I'll hear whispering and laughing very close to me, just off the trail (private property, no one else around for miles). As long as I don't look at whatever's making the noise I think I'll be fine, my dogs seem to agree as they start acting nervous and try to slink away from the area as fast as they can.
I don't think so, whatever noises I'm hearing are just a few yards into the trees so I feel like I'd have noticed tents and people walking around and such.
where do you live, I am guessing near the Appalachians?
Upstate New York, very low population density and lots of forest
Being a schizo hallucination aside, I really like this design.
You'd better be larping... My grandfather was a very experienced outdoorsman. He used to talk about short (four foot tall) human-like creatures that lived in woods.
He owned many acres of forested swamp land were he grew up and spent much of his time out there fishing and repairing boats and shit. He said when he was young, nobody in the area ever went around the woods at night for fear of these "little men".
I used to live on 4 acres of forested property in Michigan growing up, sub divisions around us but there would always be deer or other wildlife like foxes. One of these sub divisions bordered our property and my friends and I would hang out late as teens and walk through the forested back woods to get to their houses in the sub.
One night I walked my friend back to his house from my place and then made my trip home alone through my woods. My dad and I made the trails together so I knew my way in the darkness in the middle of the night, and I didnt have a light source with me, but I turned the corner of a path near the last few hundred feet of forested trail before it opens into my backyard, and there was a giant 7/8ft tall white humanoid figure standing in front of me, with longer arms than a person would have - I looked at it long enough to acknowledge it wasn't human (less than 1sec) and then my fight or flight response kicked in and I ran for my life. I always try to rationalize it like what if it was a whitetail deer from behind or something else...but I can't logically explain it. I've shared this story on /x/ before and there were three other people that had wendigo stories, two of them were in Michigan.
every story is the same too. it's black bears 99% of the time. 1% it's probably a crackhead. >i saw a shape, it was bigger than me and walked upright
it was a black bear walking bipedally. every single time.
Ravenous. But if you are meaning a more traditional monster kind of wendigo until dawn is the closest thing. They are making a movie based on the game so hopefully it’s good, not sure which characters they will kill off and in what way though as everyone gets a different version of the game based on their choices.
It doubles as my favourite movie and my favourite soundtrack. Watch it every few months and it never gets old. Such a genre bending movie it’s hard to explain to convince people to watch it. Even then they don’t like it most of the time and hate the soundtrack.
Ravenous is an incredible movie. The fricked up soundtrack and manic tone still haunts me. Brutal flick

I was gonna write A Day at Skinwalker High where everyone is a monster sucking on the loosh of some guy they gaslight into thinking he’s abnormal. Every episode would be the Skinners doing wacky things in the background while they keep up the illusion for the kid, then the final episode reveals earth is post apoc and he’s the last human serving as a salt lick for all these horrible monsters, but they still need him alive so they don’t die out.
Technically Pet Semetary was a wendigo movie. Too bad they didn't show it like in the book. I always liked the part where it turned and almost touched Steve.
Everyone clowns on Stephen King but Pet Semetary is fantastic, probably my favorite portrayal of a wendigo in genre fiction. Never saw any of the films but I highly recommend the book. I read it while in a period of deep mourning and found it equal parts comforting and unsettling.
The "Wendigo" spirit in Pet Semetary has literally nothing to do with either the Native American Wendigos nor the pop culture Wendigos.

I guess this is kind of a spoiler but it's heavily implied throughout the book that the wendigo is the one pulling the strings, subtly influencing everyone in town. It makes the old guy tell the main character about the burial ground, it revives whatever's buried, and when the main guy is on his way to the burial ground to bury his dead son, the wendigo walks across the path right in front of him. It's been a while since I've read it but I'm pretty sure it's made clear that the wendigo sees the main character trying to hide from it but allows him to pass because it wants him to bury his son
I wonder what does Wendigo get from people burying their dead and them rising up? For the lulz? Or do the resurrected get possessed by Wendigo's spirit?
when I have frick-you money I might buy its blu-ray if it has one. It's not a great movie but it left a mark on me. I think the build up is pretty good. Imo it's best to go in as blind as possible. I consider another movie, by one of the directors of the og blair witch film, called The Objective, its sister movie. I mean, it isn't, but they came out in similar time and have a similar odd vibe. Sorry for the tangents
stags are strong, but prey, they have aggression even though it is defensive. stags are the forest but not hunters like wolves, if they are killing you have to wonder why
I remember watching the trailer for It Comes At Night and being 100% sure it would be a skinwalker movie. Instead it was just another lame “le humans are the real monsters” flick.
Ummm what about Ravenous???
It’s a strange mix of horror and comedy but it’s got the wendigo lore in it (no scary makeup though)
Also that episode in Supernatural where they have to go find some hot chicks missing brother in the woods and the guide she hires is a skeptic and dies instantly to the wendigo lol
Best thing yet is Until Dawn. Too bad it’s a lame QTE video game
He is an animal shaped like a human. A predator who used to be prey like
stags are strong, but prey, they have aggression even though it is defensive. stags are the forest but not hunters like wolves, if they are killing you have to wonder why
said they intuitively understand threats. Their instincts are honed for danger while humans live in comfort away from nature, thus their instincts for danger have atrophied.
Why are americans on the internet so obsessed with the wendigo? It's not even real and you spend all your time online anyway and don't live near the woods
Skin ans Bones tv show had really spooky episode with wendigo.
This show was so weird. Only aired for like 4 episodes out of 8, has a bunch of actors that would breakout to pretty big stars in the coming years and had some pretty decent episodes.
Native americans get really assmad when you mention them.
They'd be really offended, and you cant even show a boob because thats offensive, imagine a particular collective boogeyman.
Also society conditions us to be selfish motherfrickers and you only get to become a Wendigo being a selfish motherfricker so it would be too much on the nose for the industry
yep, I imagine a lot of potential wendigo focused projects have been shot down over this. There's this game where you make little animals fight and the devs added a bunch of mythical creatures. Your usual twitter tards pitched a fit over the wendigo so they had to change its name to Deer Lord, which is funny but disappointing. Only actual concrete example I can think of but would be surprised if that sort of thing isn't occuring in hollywood writers' rooms.
What a shit ending. Giant monster tearing through policemen left and right only to limply swipe at the walled female protagonist while it has her corned in the dark. How did she kill it so easily????
What was that game with Sam raimi in it that had a wendigo
Not Sam raimi the Freddy mercury guy
Well, which is it, anon? Are you asking about Sam Raimi or Freddie Mercury? Go on then, make up your mind already.
I mean Mr robot Egyptian in night at museum oscar has twin brother bad bond villain probably gay that one
Oh that queermo? Hell if I know. I think it was one of those interactive movie games. I think they're called The Dark Pictures or Outcast or something like that, cant remember.
Until Kino
Man, I wasnt even close. All those games are the frickin same though, so I wont blame myself for getting them mixed up.
House of ashes is legit pretty good. mine became a buddy survival movie similar to deep blue sea
>the player models were actually attractive
take me back bros, everything is ugly mutt slop now, nothing remotely attractive or appealing to look at as far as character models go
Emily best girl
She was a total b*****
Exactly, I like them kind of c**ty
Shit """game""" but that poster is so corny I kinda like it.
these guys had one good idea and repeated it in like twenty games
The closest thing we've got is Until Dawn
>Fall for the voice asking for help in the tunnels
>Get head torn off
Mistakes were made.
the people who made this are british but the dialogue sounds like it was written by ESLs who have never seen human interaction
It is to match horror tropes of teen horror films.
not even teen horror movies are that bad
not even from the 70s
>gollum but long
The idea isn't bad, but I don't think they're suffciently unique enough to be memorable.
Oh yes, it's kino time
Did anyone genuinely fall for the same trick twice and had Chris killed this way?
why wouldn't you want to watch chris die?
I wanted the achievement for everyone surviving the first time around. Matt died though without the flare gun.
The general public doesn't know what a wendigo is. Also, horror movies are for little kids.
>The general public doesn't know what a wendigo is
All the more reason to make a movie based on one. Audiences will think the writer made those scary mfers up and it won't be the same zombie, demon, or psychopath monster as every other scary movie.
I love the atmosphere of horror movies. Very entertaining
Only /x/ copypastas contain Wendikino.

if you aren't lying i'd stop talking about it
and move. that fricker knows you know it exists and probably wants you dead

homeless camp, they're popping up everywhere
I don't think so, whatever noises I'm hearing are just a few yards into the trees so I feel like I'd have noticed tents and people walking around and such.
Upstate New York, very low population density and lots of forest
Dammit anon this spooked me
where do you live, I am guessing near the Appalachians?
>large and humanoid
an...American?
I don't think he meant that kind of large I think he meant tall.
You'd better be larping... My grandfather was a very experienced outdoorsman. He used to talk about short (four foot tall) human-like creatures that lived in woods.
He owned many acres of forested swamp land were he grew up and spent much of his time out there fishing and repairing boats and shit. He said when he was young, nobody in the area ever went around the woods at night for fear of these "little men".
lol what a coward boomer. did he cary anti witch charm too?
He may have. He knew tons about local folklore. He was many things, but certainly no coward; he was a frog man in the navy in WWII.
>it's the middle of the night and I'm alone
Yeah I shouldn't have read that
>not in the archives
Curious.
It's probably from /k/
Good guess. Found it on /k/ right away. The dates don't match up, though.
That one episode of Lost Tapes.
Yes, the Wendigo episode was the best of Lost Tapes.
The Larry Fessenden one
That movie is painfully average and you know it
Like all Larry Fessenden movies

This shit is so gay, zoomers believing in monsters.
every story is the same too. it's black bears 99% of the time. 1% it's probably a crackhead.
>i saw a shape, it was bigger than me and walked upright

good story, would be nice if you had any pictures of the forested area

>movie adaptation of a CYOA movie-game
pants-on-head moronic
For me it's Trek to the Cave
Great taste anon it’s my favourite too, with Boyd’s journey being a close second.
For me it's Let's Go Kill That Bastard
Such an underrated movie and soundtrack.
>HE WAS LICKING ME!
That movie is one of a kind. Kino.
At least anons on Cinemaphile appreciate its magic. Nobody I have ever shown it IRL has liked it other than my dad.
I was gonna write A Day at Skinwalker High where everyone is a monster sucking on the loosh of some guy they gaslight into thinking he’s abnormal.

Cool thanks for spoiling it homosexual.
I’m still alive but there’s nothing I want to do.
Also the joke was that community did it already.
I thought The Ritual was pretty good
That was about a scandinavian demigod, not a native american cannibal giant
Frostbiter: Wrath of the Wendigo exists, it's fricking kino. Frick The Ritual or Antlers
the ritual isn't a wendigo, it's one of loki's sons/daughters
>it's one of loki's sons/daughters
correct term is Jötunn.
Looks interesting, but I'm not finding this on any of the quick and easy streaming sites.
Technically Pet Semetary was a wendigo movie. Too bad they didn't show it like in the book. I always liked the part where it turned and almost touched Steve.
THe girl who loved tom gordon has some sort of forest spirit.

qrd? I've seen the first two but I absolutely loate both Stephen and Martin Luther the king.
Ps was the burial ground I missed the windigo part
I guess this is kind of a spoiler but it's heavily implied throughout the book that the wendigo is the one pulling the strings, subtly influencing everyone in town.

I wonder what does Wendigo get from people burying their dead and them rising up? For the lulz? Or do the resurrected get possessed by Wendigo's spirit?
This one scratched an itch for me
How did you come across it?
probably streamed it somewhere for ''free''
when I have frick-you money I might buy its blu-ray if it has one. It's not a great movie but it left a mark on me. I think the build up is pretty good. Imo it's best to go in as blind as possible.

I will be checking it out. I never heard of the objective and I saw blair witch on cable.
>Sorry for the tangents
That's okay anon, I enjoyed reading your post! 🙂
Being a schizo hallucination aside, I really like this design.
I still cant believe Hannibal was made by NBC
What did he represent? The stag was also symbolism that I didn't quite get.
Probably corrupted nature and harmony. It's a hostile rendition. Stag probably represents the dualistic opposite of purity, vitality, harmony.
stags are strong, but prey, they have aggression even though it is defensive. stags are the forest but not hunters like wolves, if they are killing you have to wonder why
But what does the boob light represent?
I remember watching the trailer for It Comes At Night and being 100% sure it would be a skinwalker movie. Instead it was just another lame “le humans are the real monsters” flick.
>It Comes At Night
Honestly it ranks up there as one of the most disappointing horror movies I've ever watched.
Ummm what about Ravenous???

Also that episode in Supernatural where they have to go find some hot chicks missing brother in the woods and the guide she hires is a skeptic and dies instantly to the wendigo lol
Best thing yet is Until Dawn. Too bad it’s a lame QTE video game
You rang?
is that supposed to be hannibal or a representation of his evil urges?
Nah that's just my neighbor Hank, he's a little off-putting at first but once you get to know him he's a really chill guy
He is an animal shaped like a human. A predator who used to be prey like
said they intuitively understand threats. Their instincts are honed for danger while humans live in comfort away from nature, thus their instincts for danger have atrophied.
>hear of Skinwalker Ranch
>look up on it, thinking it would be about scary monsters
>it's just ayys hanging out at a particular patch of land
There was.
But it was before you were even born, zoomershit
>made in late nineties
Ravenous is literally a zoomer film.
Black Mountain Side.
It's cheap, but they do a pretty good job.
I secretly want to frick a Wendigo.
Well, now I want to reread the shadowrun books, so thanks for that.
Why are americans on the internet so obsessed with the wendigo? It's not even real and you spend all your time online anyway and don't live near the woods
wats whendingo? dat sum white mandingo with a tiny dick??? hahahaha
Skin ans Bones tv show had really spooky episode with wendigo.
My bad,the show name is FEAR ITSELF
This show was so weird. Only aired for like 4 episodes out of 8, has a bunch of actors that would breakout to pretty big stars in the coming years and had some pretty decent episodes.
Fear Itself was just a cheap continuation of Masters of Horror.
Masters of Horror had so much filler though. There's like 4 good episodes from both seasons combined.
Autumn Boulivard. More of a game tho
Native americans get really assmad when you mention them.

The Wendigo killed the teacher in the short story, they changed it for the movie because western society is crumbling.
The Goatman pasta was great, it's too bad the youtube video linked in it has been taken down.
