Really? I kind of love it. I mean, I don't know any creepy special effects that benefit from being paused on some grainy resolution download and screencapped. Special effects imagery is meant to be seen the way it's shown - which in this case means mostly brief, contextually appropriate glimpses. The way they use the wendigo imagery in the show is very effective at communicating Will's sense of dread and intuitive understanding of what he's up against. Plus its sickly appearance can be seen as mirroring Will's own sickly mental state.

Basically, it is very believably something Will's mind instinctively invents in an increasingly ill and disturbed attempt to help him solve the dark mysteries he's become ensnared in.

It's not a horror movie monster. That's not the purpose it was intended to serve. If it's frightening, that's secondary to it's main purpose, which is its symbolic meaning within the narrative, as well as its implications about Will's mental state.
