Windham Rotunda was an avid fan of horror movies, even going so far as to work on a film of his own before his untimely passing.

While he was never able to bring that project to fruition, he frequently brought that flair to his in-ring personas in the squared circle, particularly once he transitioned from Husky Harris to the enigmatic Bray Wyatt.

Originally, Wyatt was very much rooted in Robert De Niro's character Max Cady from Cape Fear, but it would eventually morph into a different type of psychotic character much more akin to The Joker.

Of course, Wyatt didn't outright just replicate the character to a T, but he did model aspects after Batman's greatest rogue. When in his sweater and more human form, Wyatt was similar to a more sinister version of Pee Wee Herman, with Pee Wee's Playhouse being adapted as the Firefly Fun House.

But when his even darker side came out, that is when The Fiend persona took over, complete with a mask that appeared to be a heavily scarred peeled-off white face, a mangled, giant smile and red accents.

One look at this and it is obvious it was modeled after Scott Snyder's run and the "Death of the Family" arc where The Joker's face was skinned off and fastened back on top of his head.
