Hey, wanna see something '''REALLY''' scary?
'''The Wyatt Family''' are a professional wrestling stable consisting of '''Bray Wyatt''' (real name Windham Rotunda), and his followers '''Luke Harper''' (real name Jon Huber) and ''' Erick Rowan''' (real name Joseph Ruud). Their gimmick is somewhat hard to describe, but think of the hillbillies from ''Film/{{Deliverance}}'' mixed with a creepy cult. Wyatt himself has a bit of Max Cady from ''Film/{{Cape Fear}}'' and the mannerisms of a Southern bayou preacher. They are a very dark, creepy bunch with an ominous presence enhanced by Wyatt's incredible mic skills and hypnotic charisma. They debuted on the July 8, 2013 edition of Monday Night Raw attacking Wrestling/{{Kane}} and injuring him.
