1952(?) (The Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit)

In the The Waterman Photo Book, an image of Rachel on seemingly their wedding day is seen. In concept art, the date is revealed to be 1952. In the image, she has no stitches, a red thin bow, a dress shirt collar, and a grey witch hat rather than her usual purple one.

1979 (The Mysterious House)

Her fur is a dark grey, with a lighter grey stomach. Horns stick through her wool atop her head, just under her ears. Her arms, hands, neck and joints are all colored chocolate brown. Just like the original Sha, she had a massive hole going down her chest, colored pitch black. She sports a red, spiked dog collar along with a purple witch hat resting on the back of her head. Her tongue is colored electric blue. Throughout the episode, her eyes glow a bright yellow.

In the remake included with the VHS release of The Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit, her design is overhauled to look like her design from that film (see below)

1983 (The Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit)

Witch Sheep now sports much more realistic, sheep-like design compared to her original look. She has longer and lighter colored wool, less saturated brown on her neck and limbs, longer horns, and a more accurate sheep nose. She has lemon shaped eyes with no eyelids unique shaped pupils reminiscent of real sheep's elongated pupils.

Instead of large gap in her chest, she has Frankenstein's Monster-esque stitches going along her body. Her hands only sport two digits and a thumb each, and her legs are digitigrade with two-toed hooves. Her spiky red collar is now black and wears another, more studded black collar underneath it.

After being burned alive prior to the events of The Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit, her appearance becomes very sicky looking, like that of a shriveled corpse. She often has her mouth agape with her wool now appearing matted/wispy. She now has many more stitch throughout her fur, including a seemingly large hole across her lower right torso.

1991 (Tales of the Pumpkin Rabbit)

Witch Sheep remains similar to her alive look after being burned, but her jaw is now slacked and gaping, her eyes now realistic and lacks yellow sclera and sheep pupils and appears more watery. Her wool has become even worse and dirty, with long strands of hair poking out in her face. She now has a small, cracked gap on her chest. Her right forearm is completely missing. Her left hand is also completely missing, the numb now burnt at the end with two, thin black wires poking out. She also lacks her witch hat. She now has multiple metal chains loosely around her neck.

Showstoppers Incorporated

In Showstoppers Incorporated, she has a similar design to her The Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit design but without the stitches, normal dot pupils, darker grey fur, and a "Kiss the Cook" apron.

Personality

Rachel, along with her husband, Lorenzo Waterman, is a sadistic child murderer. Just like her husband, she greatly enjoys the "hunts" the two of them "host" in their home. Though both of the Watermans are murderers, Rachel is more strategic and plotting with how she executes her acts than compared to Lorenzo, who is more comparable to a rabid animal in his eagerness while Rachel is willing to be more planning and stealthy with how she goes about her crimes. Rachel is very meticulous killer, taking breaks to coordinate herself before killing.

History

Origins; 1924 - 1979

Rachel Waterman's backstory is left intentionally ambiguous, and it is left up to audience interpretation who or what she is specifically and why she is the way she is. Only thing we know for certain is that she was born sometime in 1924[2] and that she has been a serial killer since at least the 1950s alongside her husband, Lorenzo.[3] According to Martin Paredes' interpretation, nothing caused Rachel or Lorenzo Waterman to become the evil people they turned out to be, they were just always evil.[4] It is unknown how Rachel and Lorenzo met or what prompted them to carry out their annual Halloween "hunts" though the two of them killed at least fourteen children[5] before the main events of their debut episode, with the most notable being TVA, Billy[3], and Jonathan Bear.[6] In Nash-Lake, where Rachel and Lorenzo lived, Rachel was seen as an upstanding member of the community for unknown reasons. On Halloween 1974, The Watermans would bring TVA and Billy into their homes and seemingly either keep them alive for a prolonged time kidnapped in their home or kill them and keep them appearing as if they are alive with magic, something Rachel would be capable of.[3][7] At some point, she would start growing a pumpkin patch.

The "Final" Killings; Halloween 1979

On October 31st, 1979, Tammy Gutierrez and Duckie Leigh would trick or treat at her home.[6] Rachel would put on a warm welcoming facade to the children, welcoming them in the house. Rachel would introduce Duckie and Tammy to the residents of her home, TVA, Billy, and The Pumpkin Rabbit. When the children attempt to leave, Rachel and Lorenzo convince the children to stay for the night with the children staying in the guest room. Rachel brings the children to a spare room in a nearby long hallway, reading the children the Three Little Pigs as a bedtime story.[2] Tammy, the only currently still awake child, asks for another bedtime story, grabbing the Photo Book which greatly upsets Rachel. Rachel quickly snatches the book from Tammy, nearly breaking her façade of a warm caring person, almost scaring the children away and ruining that Halloween's Hunt. Lorenzo comforts her and Tammy to regain control over the hunt. Rachel apologizes and to regather herself, she goes outside of the house where she briefly speaks to Tammy's sister, Sammy Gutierrez though Rachel shoos Sammy off due to being zoned out of the situation.[8] She re-enters the house and later in the night, Rachel waits outside of the room for the children to possibly awake, to which Duckie does. Rachel leads Duckie out of the room and presumably is the one to kill him off-screen.

Rachel closes Tammy into the "The End" room in the Fun House without Tammy noticing her. After Tammy is murdered by Lorenzo, Rachel walks in and admires his work though is taken back by Lorenzo mentioning Sammy, who he saw possibly bothering Rachel. Rachel tells Lorenzo that Sammy was looking for Tammy but that he shouldn't worry about her, as she lovingly puts Lorenzo's mask back onto his face.[2]

At some point in Late-1979 after the murder of Tammy and Duckie, Sammy being a witness would lead to an investigation of the Watermans. The investigation wouldn't go far though the Nash-Lake residents would form a mob, breaking into the home of the Watermans and dragging them out and all the way to the Nash-Lake town square, burning them alive. Despite being killed, Rachel and Lorenzo would resurrect possibly because of her magic abilities.

Resurrection and Second Defeat; Halloween 1983

Rachel and Lorenzo would be resurrected by unknown reasons. On Halloween of 1983, Jay March, Dino March, Paco Wilkins, and Ralph Peterson would climb the hill leading to her home while she waited inside of the house, possibly taking a photo of the children talking outside of the house. Jay, Dino, and Paco would walk inside of the house, finding Rachel sitting on a sofa chair while watching Christian television programs. Rachel, itching to kill once more after inactivity, rushes the children to stay in the home to get candy after the three kids plan to leave. While Rachel talked to Jay and Paco, she would not notice Dino stealing the photo book from behind her. Rachel possibly used the body of Duckie to lure Paco to the dark guest room where she meets him there, either sneaking into the room or teleporting into it. She sings a lullaby to Paco before sneaking up behind him and murdering him brutally.

After escaping the two murderers and making it into the funhouse, Rachel and Lorenzo would follow Jay and Dino, the only surviving children at this point, into the third room which held the deceased bodies of their previous young victims. Presumably Rachel would taunt the siblings with the deceased remains of Paco before Lorenzo sneaked behind Dino and Rachel behind Jay. Rachel would laugh and restrain Jay to force her to watch Dino be murdered by Lorenzo though Rachel would lose grip of Jay, allowing her to save Dino and burn the photo book, freeing the spirits of the deceased children who murder her, tearing into her body and face. After their murders, both of the Watermans would be trapped in mannequins. Sometime after their deaths, their house would be bought and turned into a tourist attraction.

Tourist Trapped; Halloween 1991

On Halloween 1991, 8 years after their defeat in 1983, a young tourist would visit the Waterman House which had been turned into a tourist attraction at some point. The Wolf, the new owner of the house, would give the tourist a tour of the house and its museum, before taking them to the house's funhouse and "The End" room which still held the mannequins in it, restrained. The Wolf, joyfully begins burning Lorenzo's mannequin, awakening Lorenzo and Rachel. Rachel, seemingly communicating through the camera, pleads to be freed from their cold hell by God before crying in front of the camera. Rachel, who was controlling her mannequin casket, takes the flamethrower from The Wolf which allows Lorenzo to grab and kill him before turning her attention to the tourist. Before she could reach the tourist, the door to the "The End" room slammed between them, seemingly because of the spirits which had returned to recapture the Watermans. As of Halloween 1983, Rachel is confirmed deceased and is simply a ghost in 1991.

Abilities

Supernatural Reincarnation: Despite her and her husband having been murdered they are shown to be able to seemingly come back for no apparent reason. On top of that, their physical appearances differ (Rachel appearing more like a corpse) alongside all their other apparent powers. Teleportation: It can be assumed that Rachel possesses some form of teleportation. For example, despite being seen in a room with no other exits, she appears in a different room down a hall where it would've been seemingly impossible for her to get into without being noticed. Cloaking/Mimicry/Disorientation: Rachel is somehow able to functionally turn into and mimic the appearance and voice of her victims, as visible when Rachel, disguised as Duckie Leigh, luring Paco Wilkins Soul Harvesting: The Waterman photo book is able to effectively trap and contain the souls of the Waterman's victims. It is unknown how this is possible but when the book is eventually destroyed, all the spirits are freed. Alongside this, the Watermans use mannequins who look like their victims to keep these spirits sealed. Though upon the release of the spirits, we see both the Watermans trapped in similar mannequins, presumably containing their souls akin to how they contained the souls of other children prior. Lorenzo Waterman: Appearance

Canon

1979 (The Mysterious House)

During the events of The Mysterious House, Lorenzo has an orange coat of fur, with the undersides of his ears and his belly being a lighter shade of orange. He has Frankenstein-like stitching across his body. He sports a yellow mask that depicts a twisted smile and yellow snout. His arms, neck, and legs are dark green, and he wears a purple bowtie around his neck. When his mask is removed, it's revealed that his true face resembles a rotting corpse, with charred skin and bloody gums with a sharp smile.

In the original version of The Mysterious House, he was depicted with more animatronic-like withering, but this has been retconned as seen in the remaster of The Mysterious House featured in the Tales of the Pumpkin Rabbit.

1983 (The Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit)

After being burned alive prior to the events of The Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit, Lorenzo is less colorful, sporting a grungier look while being more desaturated with more ruffled fur. He no longer wears a purple bowtie with buttons or a chest gash but instead a bloody white apron with a blue striped tie and white collar, being based on Leatherface from the 1974 film The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Though it is not shown correctly in the short, Lorenzo is overweight.[3]

Behind his mask, it looks like a very decayed, and disturbing looking human face with a brown canine nose and silver-white teeth.

1991 (Tales of the Pumpkin Rabbit)

In the ending of the Tales of the Pumpkin Rabbit VHS, Lorenzo is brought back as a ghost due to the damaging of his mannequin by The Wolf where he's missing his right ear, has less orange and brown colors and are now more of a greenish grey, seemingly rope all over him, and his mask is no longer around and has been replaced as he has seemingly fused with his mannequin, with his face being replaced with a white mold over it with eyeholes revealing his enlarged eyes and melting mouth area with his teeth being visible behind it. His overall color scheme is a dark green instead of his previous orange.

Showstoppers Incorporated

In Showstoppers Incorporated, Lorenzo is the same as his Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit design, just in a new art style, now sporting large shoes for comedic effect.

Personality

Lorenzo seems to be very polite, well-mannered, and welcoming when he first meets Duckie and Tammy. However, this is just an act as a way to lure in children. Later on, it is revealed that Lorenzo is a psychopath who murders children every year on Halloween. He is not phased by what he’s done and remains calm and polite while preparing to murder Tammy. He tells his victims that his murders are a punishment for the children misbehaving, however whether this is his actual motive or not is unclear. A clue to Lorenzo’s evil nature early on is his voice, which is very deep and unsettling, unlike any other character in The Mysterious House.

In The Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit, he maintains this persona, speaking very calmly, though offputtingly, to Ralph, however quickly drops the polite act by chasing him down and gleefully murdering him. From then on it is made very apparent that Lorenzo wholeheartedly enjoys murdering children and revels in hunting them down in his home, giggling and laughing manically at each attack. He is shown being much more aggressive and animalistically deranged compared to his role in The Mysterious House, due to him not feeling the need to have to try & gain the children's trust anymore, as the protagonists & town as a whole are already aware of who he really is and what he's done by this point. He uses this to his benefit as he revels in his victims fear of him & uses it to toy with them.

History

Origins; 1925 - 1979

Lorenzo Waterman's backstory is left intentionally ambiguous, and it is left up to audience interpretation who or what he is specifically and why he is the way he is. According to Martin Paredes' interpretation, nothing caused Lorenzo or Rachel Waterman to become the evil people they turned out to be, they were just always evil. The only thing known for sure about his past prior to The Mysterious House is that he has been a serial killer since at least the 1950s alongside his wife Rachel Waterman. At some point, Pumpkin Rabbit's face would become mutilated, possibly of his own doing.[5] Lorenzo and his wife Rachel would be recognized as upstanding citizens in Nash-Lake, where they lived, as they were fully unaware of what the Watermans did in secret. It is unknown how Lorenzo and Rachel met or what prompted them to carry out their annual Halloween "hunts" though the two of them killed at least thirteen children before the main events of their debut episode, with the most notable being TVA, Billy, and Jonathan Bear. On Halloween 1974, The Watermans would bring TVA and Billy into their homes and seemingly either keep them alive for a prolonged time kidnapped in their home or kill them and keep them appearing as if they are alive with magic.

The "Final" Killings; Halloween 1979

Lorenzo would be inside of his home when Rachel would welcome in two children, Tammy Gutierrez and Duckie Leigh. Lorenzo and Rachel would give the children candy, however Lorenzo would insist for the children to spend the night, to which the two children oblige. Lorenzo and Rachel read the children The Three Little Pigs for a bedtime story, with Tammy suggesting the idea that the Big Bad Wolf should've waited for the pigs to leave to eat them with Lorenzo complimenting the idea. Lorenzo would calm Rachel down after Tammy asked for another story and touched the Waterman Photo Book and would put the children to sleep before watching Rachel leave the house and talk to a small girl outside.

Later that night, Rachel would lead Duckie away, assumingly where either Lorenzo or her kills him. Following this, One of the Watermans creates an illusion of Duckie's voice calling out to Tammy from the basement, waking her up and leading her into a room in the house's basement with several deceased children's bodies. Lorenzo would already be there waiting for her, just like she suggested the Big Bad Wolf to do, blaming her for wandering around the house and scolding her before removing his mask and murdering Tammy, briefly chasing her before catching her and snapping her neck. Lorenzo would ask Rachel about the girl though quickly forgot about the topic after Rachel puts his mask back on his head and tells him that she wasn't important with the two joking playfully about Tammy's murder. This unimportant girl's survival would lead to the first death of the Watermans.

The small girl, turned out to be the sister of Tammy named Sammy, who leaves the property and tells on the fact she saw Tammy and Duckie enter the home before their disappearance, leading to the investigation and later the Lynching of Lorenzo and Rachel Waterman, where Lorenzo and Rachel were dragged out of their homes and into the town square, tied up, and burned alive for their crimes. The house would become abandoned and vandalized, and the Watermans would become a popular urban legend in the area, with children spreading rumors about how the couple can still be heard following their supposed deaths.

Resurrection and Second Defeat; Halloween 1983

At some point in the 4 years between the public lynching of the Watermans & the events of Return of the Pumpkin Rabbit, both the Watermans most likely supernaturally reincarnated as living beings once more.

On Halloween 1983, Jay, Dino, Paco would break into the Watermans' abandoned house. Ralph splits from the group & waits outside, accidentally throwing his ball into the darkness behind the house. Upon losing his ball, Ralph would walk around the house to Rachel's pumpkin patch[6] where Lorenzo greets him, holding Ralph's ball. He mockingly tries baiting Ralph into coming towards him to get the ball, though Ralph, being aware of who Lorenzo is, doesn't take the bait and would start to run away until accidentally bumping into a scarecrow. Ralph looks closer to the scarecrow, seeing that the scarecrow is actually the body of Tammy tied to a wooden crucifix with a bag over her head. Ralph attempts to run but gets his foot stuck in a pumpkin, allowing Lorenzo to catch up to him while giggling manically, Lorenzo begins to claw Ralph's face off, killing him.

Jay, while in the kitchen of the Waterman House, hears Ralph's dying screams outside and hides in a cabinet. Lorenzo, somehow creating an illusion of Ralph, attempts to persuade Jay into opening the cabinet using Ralph's voice & face. When this doesn't work, he slides the cabinet door open before trying to grab and murder Jay. Jay would close the cabinet and start quickly crawling away with Lorenzo right behind her. Lorenzo would grab Jay's leg though would be deterred by a glass being broken over his head, nearly knocking off his mask.

Jay would run from Lorenzo, finding Di
