One of the episodes was an adaptation of the Blackwood story.<br />It's now lost, but when I saw it back then it scared the Wendigo out of me! <br />All I can seem to remember of that episode was lots of snow and the Wendigo hiding up in a tree ready to pounce. <br />I would love to see this one again.<br />There is also the obscure Canadian film called GHOSTKEEPER. It's also got a Wendigo. In that film it is spelled Windigo which is a legitimate alternate spelling.<br />I have not seen RAVENOUS, but will indeed check it out.<br />Mark MartucciAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497527494569014185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237781251652279105.post-83499729196476562772013-06-25T16:33:00.840-04:002013-06-25T16:33:00.840-04:00I love these 'roots of horror' pieces.

I don't know much about the Wendigo - save for its origins in Native American folklore - but I did love Fassenden's film and am now really keen to check out that episode of Fear Itself and read Blackwood's short story.

They make me feel like I'm looking at something that came to life waaay back when and has somehow survived in people's minds. Thanks for pointing a few gems, I'll have to look into them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03278775805811837956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237781251652279105.post-16372979331152310112013-06-20T19:11:34.885-04:002013-06-20T19:11:34.885-04:00The wendigo episode is not Supernatural's best...The wendigo episode is not Supernatural's best, but I'll be honest; I watch it for the hot guys, cool cars, and awesome soundtrack :). It's not bad though. The actual wendigo is pretty creepy (though maybe a little too fake).Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142853264466979848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8237781251652279105.post-37896758981478745872013-06-20T18:42:38.438-04:002013-06-20T18:42:38.438-04:00I loved the Fear Itself series on Netflix, even th...I loved the Fear Itself series on Netflix, even though the episodes were somewhat hit or miss... love that you mentioned it on here.

It was definitely the scariest one, and might not be a good idea to watch right before going camping.<br /><br />I have seen that episode of Supernatural (hubby and I just started watching it on instant streaming on Netflix). If you like the show, you'll like the episode. I would recommend it.Pixel Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17464601854437518024noreply@blogger.com
