For the past several weeks, WWE has brought horror movie-like creepiness to Monday Night Raw with the return of Bray Wyatt, a former cult leader who has been repackaged here in 2019 as the host of a children’s television program. Essentially, he’s the love child of Charles Manson, Mr. Rogers and Pee-wee Herman, and the segments have been, well, very interesting.
Joined on the show by talking puppets Mercy the Buzzard, Abby the Witch and Rambling Rabbit, Wyatt’s “Firefly Fun House” segments have been generating buzz, to say the least, and they’ve been getting darker and darker as we learn more about the new take on Wyatt’s character. Last night, Wyatt revealed his “secret,” shedding the good guy persona entirely.
“It’s time for me to show the world what I’ve *really* been working on,” Wyatt teased, before the lights went out and he reappeared on screen with a whole new look.
As it turns out, Wyatt’s creepy new mask was created by Tom Savini‘s team, including Jason Baker, Mandy June Simpson and Ell Farrington! In fact, Savini’s team has been behind most of what’s been going on with the Firefly Fun House segments, with Baker directing them and also designing the creepy puppets that serve as Wyatt’s “friends” on the show.
