Walter is the manager of a Fred's Pharmacy at Wardenclyffe, New York. He appears as the secondary semi-antagonist of the film Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween.

History
Walter is first seen ringing up Kathy Quinn's purchases before taking her children and Sam Carter to school. It is apparent that he was flirting with her along the way.
On Halloween night, he was working on Sudoku puzzles when the pharmacy started acting up. He then found Slappy the Dummy, the Abominable Snowman, the Werewolf of Fever Swamp, and other monsters that had been brought to life by the former using the pharmacy's stock of costumes. While trembling in fear, he is suddenly attacked by an ogre mask, which transforms him into an Igor-esque ogre that immediately becomes Slappy's right-hand monster.
Walter accompanies Slappy to the Tesla Tower, where he uses his magic to reactivate the machine and bring every Halloween decoration in Wardenclyffe to life. He also impresses his master by constructing a wooden chair with metal cuffs before relaying Slappy's message to have the other monsters retrieve both Kathy and Haunted Halloween.
When the kids arrive at the Tesla Tower disguised as a Pumpkin Head, a witch, and a skeleton, Walter spies on them before revealing himself as they confronted Slappy. He brings his master Haunted Halloween and prepares the tower so that Slappy could destroy the book. However, Sonny and Sam cause a chain reaction to overload the tower and blow up the fuse. As Sarah sucks in all the monsters inside Haunted Halloween, the Ogre Mask is removed from Walter, transforming him back to normal.
Apparently, his transformation also erased any memory of him being a monster, as pointed out by Stine. Over the next few months, Walter begins going out with Kathy.
