History[]
Season 2[]
Walter was the original writer, but because it was changed so much, it was not his story anymore. He was seen briefly around set, and Sam and Dean noticed him, but they thought he was a PA. They found out that his script was like a "How To Summon spirit" manual. He used his knowledge to summon ghosts and used them to kill those who interfered with his masterpiece.
Back on set, Walter took out his anger on the guy who rewrote the script, and summoned spirits to kill for him. Sam and Dean tried to stop him. Sam then chased after Walter. He tried to stop Walter, but he was too late. Walter smashed the Talisman he had used to control the ghosts without realizing what he had done. The ghosts got their revenge on Walter as they shredded him to death.
Personality[]
Walter was a man passionate about horror movies, as he investigated and studied all kinds of rituals and cultures so that his dream movie would be as realistic as possible, however as the producers began to alter the story and distorted it to such an extent that Walter, enraged by having his work ruined, became a vengeful and ruthless person.
He used his knowledge of necromancy rituals to summon ghosts and have them kill all the producers who kept ruining his work. He wasn't that ruthless, since he was going to spare Sam and Dean's lives if they let him finish his revenge, but when they refused, his wrath fell on them as well.
Despite his knowledge, he was somewhat unintelligent since he himself destroyed the talisman that allowed him to control the ghosts so that Sam and Dean would not take it from him, without knowing that this would free them from his control and they would retaliate against him by killing him.
