JDW Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The inhabitants of this lost Virginia colony have resorted to cannibalism to survive. Take a trip back in time and explore the remains of this settlement where you’ll get a history lesson you’ll never forget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThNdIzNiR Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) I guess I was right about the Wendigo after all. The TV series Fear Itself had a pretty decent 1 hour short story that involved a version of the Wendigo. The episode (season 1 ep. 8) was called Skin & Bones.

boogeyman13 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 From the blog on the Roanoke colony:What’s this business about the “spirit of Wendigo?” I’m pretty sure my family rented one of those for a road trip when I was a kid. I think that’s a Winnebago… The spirit of Wendigo is something much more sinister. It’s actually a mythical Native American creature that curses all those who ingest human flesh. These people have snapped, and they have to somehow justify their cannibalism. They think they’re being possessed by the Wendigo spirit. They start eating their own mouths. They’ve chewed away their lips. They’ve just completely lost it. WENDIGOS!!!! OHMANHMANOHMANOHMAN This is officially my most eagerly anticipated house now! And from FB, could that mask in the upper left be one of the full creatures?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killswitch22 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 SO stoked for this house. I'm a huge early American history buff and can't wait to see Roanoke Colony in a demented, cannibalistic view. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooger and Dark Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 They mentioned a surprise in the finale and I am curious as to what on earth it could be... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDW Posted August 12, 2014 Author Share Posted August 12, 2014 I actually don't know where these belong. It could be here or Bayou for the bottom one... the other one could be a lot of things. I'll have to blow it up when I get home see if I can read the writing. I'll just leave them here until I can figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Whew. I was kinda worried that Orlando was going to have a house with angry natives. That would have been bad. This looks pretty awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing videos/pictures of it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThNdIzNiR Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 They mentioned a surprise in the finale and I am curious as to what on earth it could be... I'm hoping that the final section of this maze is where the fully transformed Wendigo resides. I'm hoping for a gigantic creature that looks like this... http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120213141914/powerlisting/images/3/32/Wendigo1.jpg The bottom picture above might even be an example of what the Wendigo spirit transforms the cannibals turn into.

That's a good point. this picture has to belong here. I forgot the windeigo has a deer head in many versions. However, in the description, they said they were justifing their killings by believing they were windego. So may not see a "real" one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an interesting idea and it would let them repurpose their Minotaur costume from 2010 (assuming that has not already been done or been sold).

I could totally get behind that idea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhnfreak33 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 The only thing that sucks is no Native Americans. But that would offend a lot of people. Even though they played a big role in Roanoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 What's bugged me all about this potential Wendigo talk is that, in actual legend, it's not a physical creature; It's a spirit that possesses people and makes them cannibals. That said, there a few ways any "surprise" can go. I have a couple of ideas that deal mostly with what ISN'T mentioned in the description. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, in the description, they said they were justifing their killings by believing they were windego. So may not see a "real" one If you look at the picture I posted, it looks like we see three stages of the Wendigo transformation. The mask on the right is the most human, with the lips chewed off. The one just to the left has a mostly human head, but the face has been peeled away to reveal something a more monstrous. And the head at the top is the creature more (or fully) transformed. My guess is that the colonists are possessed, and then transformed, into a physical manifestation of the Wendigo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottEdmondson41 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Sounds pretty cool. Looking forward to this one, all the original houses really excite me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coast Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) I like the concept of this alot but.. I feel like of the three originals, this one might be the one that gets the short end of the stick. Reality is one of these will get the least amount of budget. It's easier to get away with toning stuff down for this house with things like trees and corn (example the last few forrest rooms of La Llorona last year).
