## Biography

### Background

Walt is the owner of a company that produces the *Lakeview Cabin* franchise and an anthology television series, and owns Hotel Lakeview, where Walt has a penthouse at the top of the building. Walt's mother, with whom he has a "weird" relationship, introduces Walt to a cult that worships the Lake Gods. He later allows his mother to play the role of the farmer's mother in his television series, which symbolically mirrors Walt's own life in many ways. Walt gains the ability to control people by putting them under a spell, including the father and mother who own the yellow house and portrayed Red and Eleanor in the *Lakeview Cabin* films. It is implied that Walt used this form of mind control to create a sex tape featuring the father and mother, the latter of whom Walt is infatuated with. Walt also uses orbs to travel between different times and dimensions. Eventually, Walt performs a ritual in the cellar which involves cannibalizing a newborn infant in order to become blessed by the Lake Gods. The ritual is successful, but the father is snapped out of his trance when he glimpses a silver necklace, which kills Walt.

### *Lakeview Cabin Collection*

#### Epilogue

While camping out in the woods at his cabin with a blonde woman, he spends a lot of time in the lake. Each time he plunges into the lake's depths, Walt experiences visions before waking in his bed which has a picture of himself and the woman overhead. As time progresses, the visions torment him to the point where he kills the woman with an axe and dumping her body in the lake. Walt then goes on to attack two children.

### *Lakeview Cabin 2*

#### Episode 2: Hotel Lakeview

In the penthouse of Hotel Lakeview, which he possibly owns, Walt keeps the manuscript and a framed photo of the mother on his desk. When one of the actors finally enters the penthouse, Walt is sitting at his desk with an orb and uses it to teleport away when he sees the intruder. When the chair is moved, the orb falls and shatters on the floor. Walt then appears as an enormous green ghost, and starts rampaging through the hotel, killing any actors in his path with a variety of weapons. The only way to vanquish Walt's ghost is by collecting as many ghosts as possible to attack him. As the surviving actors escape Hotel Lakeview, the entire building collapses.

#### Episode 3: The Studio

Walt appears as the narrator in the introduction and end credits of each movie in the studio, produced by his own company. However, should Eleanor be spawned from the combination of the destroyed robot with three other parts, she becomes angry and rips Walt's head off. Thereafter, only his skeleton appears with the credits.

#### *Lakeview Cabin 1*

Walt can briefly be seen looking through the cabin window from the outside, before vanishing.

#### Epilogue

At his cabin, Red starts illustrating a comic book depicting the ritual Walt performed to attain the favor of the Lake Gods, as well as the father breaking free from Walt's control, and the latter's subsequent death from exposure to silver. In order to protect her son's reputation, endless iterations of Granny from all timelines converge upon the cabin, attacking Red and forcing him to flee to another dimension.

## Trivia

* The manuscript seems to have been written by Walt and may serve as the origins of the franchise. It is possible that Walt is responsible for the creation of *Lakeview Cabin*.
* Walt has a lot in common with Red, down to his clothes and his relationship with Eleanor, and could be the inspiration behind the creation of Red as a character in the movies.
* His name and appearance may be inspired by Walt Disney.
* During the development of *Lakeview Cabin 2*, the second episode originally had a skeleton sitting in the penthouse, and disturbing it would summon Walt's ghost.
* Walt's appearance in the third episode is a reference to Rod Serling's role in *The Twilight Zone*.
* In the third bonus episode, one of the endings involves the surviving versions of the Jock actor on a stage in front of an audience comprised of versions of Walt.
* Walt's abilities to time travel and control people are similar to Amy Cooper and the Constant of *Lakeview Valley*, possibly suggesting that Walt could be a "constant".
