Walking Sam is a 2024 American gothic supernatural horror film based on the iconic title character from the creepypasta website. It is the twelfth installment in the creepypasta universe and a follow up to both Jeff the Killer and Eyeless Jack Chapter II, kickstarting what is intended to be the second phase of the series. The film was directed by James Wan and produced by Ridley Scott from a screenplay by John Carpenter. It stars Millie Bobby Brown returning as Abby Elliot, alongside Ed Harris, Keith David, Carla Gugino, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Kevin Costner, Kate Mara, and Tyler Mane. The film follows Abby who plans to retire from her duty but decides to investigate one last case when she witnesses a mysterious, tall figure next to a hanged man. Walking Sam was released on October 19th, 2024; the film received positive reviews with praise for Brown’s performance, the atmosphere, and musical score. It was also a financial success and grossed $1.12 billion worldwide, becoming the highest grossing film in the creepypasta universe and of Brown’s filmography. Two follow-ups are in development; a sequel focusing on the Strider and set after the events of Jeff and the Killer and Eyeless Jack Chapter II; and a spin-off focusing on the Smiling Man.

  • misterwolf @nickienicks @castingsinmyblood @otsutsuki @robertcooper and @pumpkinchowcorg I’ll tell you what I told Casting. I am considering coming back to the creepypasta universe. Nicky, I know you haven’t checked this film’s predecessors out yet, and neither did you robert and otsutsuki. So I recommend that the three of you check out the other eleven films that preceded this one. Those are Mister Widemouth, The Smile Dog, SuicideMouse.AVI, Squidward’s Suicide, Eyeless Jack, Laughing Jack, The Toymaker, The Dead Nurse, Jeff the Killer, and Eyeless Jack Chapter II.

  • misterwolf Plot: Abby Elliott plans to retire from her duty as a detective, having gotten tired of immortal serial killers. While searching for a place to commence a retirement party, she notices a pale, tall man with white glowing eyes and a top hat. She dismisses it as a trick of nature and continues on, but spots a hanged man on a tree, with the same figure beside it; she also notices that the figure is much closer to her than before, and she takes note of its lack of a mouth and nose. She then hastily takes a photo of the figure and runs full speed, narrowly escaping it and making it to her car.

  • misterwolf Abby shows the photo of the figure to her uncle, John Ratchet, the police chief, and he reveals that his father showed him a similar picture long ago when he was a child, and identifies it as “Walking Sam”, a supernatural being who manipulates his victims into committing suicide by hanging themselves.

Abby spots Harold hanged on a tree, but realizes that he is still alive but close to death; she shoots his rope and saves his life but soon encounters Walking Sam, who walks straight towards her with the souls of his victims hanging from his arms.

She visits Jane, who agrees to help. As they leave however, they receive a report that Cormac Leamy is missing, indicating that he has foolishly ventured into the haunted woods. They arrive there and find Cormac hanged, but Abby shoots the rope holding him and then helps him snap out of his mind control. Walking Sam attacks them and almost kills Abby, but Ratchet arrives and saves them. He reveals that Harold is hanged again, and they eventually find him. Jane shoots the rope and snaps Harold out Walking Sam’s control. Ratchet’s wife Martha leaves a letter for him at the LAPD station that reveals she is going on a vacation.

Jane shoots Walking Sam several times and saves Cormac, before the group runs to a nearby cave. Meanwhile, Martha is on a plane. As she watches TV, the news states that there have been several sightings of Walling Sam. Knowing that her husband would tell her not abandon her vacation, she reluctantly stays on the plane.

  • misterwolf Walking Sam catches up to the group; Abby shoots it and then tells the group to run, intending to face Walking Sam alone. During a violent fight, Abby is concussed and her leg is badly sliced by a broken branch on a log; just as Walking Sam is about to kill her, Cormac appears and stabs him from behind with a broken rebar, but his effort turns south when Walking Sam slices his chest and neck open with the same rebar. Abby finds Walking Sam’s weak spot and shoots him ten times before he collapses and fades to dust.

  • misterwolf Despite winning, Abby passes out into a coma due to her bad concussion. She eventually awakens after five days, with Jane and Martha sitting beside her bed. Cormac also recovers, but with worse injures. Abby still chooses to retire, deciding to have a peaceful life as the end credits roll.

  • misterwolf So Casting, you’re the veteran for this franchise. You tell me if this is a good comeback to the creepypasta universe.
