Can I just point out that James literally hated himself so much, that he conjured a literal demonic Executioner to punish him.

The scariest monster of the Silent Hill franchise is the town itself.

I love how silent hill manifests itself to every protagonist. The more innocent you are the less you see.

I've never thought I could actually be dragged into some one else's psychological hell worlds and held their? Silent Hill held me captive for days.

The Abstract Daddy was the creepiest for me hands down. I mean his design is silly but in a way that makes me uncomfortable.

Man as a die hard classic horror game fan they really need to bring this franchise back. The first one is truly the scariest and having it remade and brought back to life would be amazing

I read a few different things about the Silent Hill movies that were really interesting about the filming. The ones I remember most are the fact that they hired a body builder to play Pyramid Head and that the Nurses were dancers filmed in reverse to get their walking movements so jarring and creepy.

Amazing video! I was always fascinated with the monsters of Silent Hill. If I may add some info about the monsters: - It is true that Pyramid Head appearance makes 100% sense in Silent Hill 2, it can be theorized that Pyramid Head in the film was created by Alessa as an executioner of the cult - he was meant to punish them for what they did to Alessa in the agonizing way and in the original script Anna told Rose and Cybil about him. He also might symbolize Alessa's father - she never knew who her father was and his helmet might symbolize his anonymity but also a father figure who would protect her from harm. - The reasons why Asphyxia have catterpillar body is because Nora Holloway adored reading Alice In Wonderland and Catterpillar was her favorite character - but even though her body is sexualized her hands are covering her breasts as she died as a teenager. And Alex killed her by forcing her to breath which is fatal to her, that's why she has hands covering her mouth. Her death is a total opposite of how Nora died. Her name also refers to killing somebody via asphyxiation - just like Nora died. - As of God’s appearance and just like you said, God looks like this because of how Claudia perceived God. Claudia was also the one who made Alessa saint. - Twin Victims are sometimes called Victim 07+08 and are the only Walter's victims that were fused together into one monster instead of immortal Ghosts mostly because they were killed together at the same time so they are forced to be together for eternity - as twin brother Billy and twin sister Miriam. - Even if Robbie is just a mascot in Silent Hill 3 he is always there… like he’s watching Heather throughout her journey in Lakeside Amusement Park. And in one instance she mentions that those dead bodies of Robbie reek really bad. - And as for the nurses you forgot about Cedar Grove Sanitarium :) - the Faceless Nurses also roam the corridors of this facility. - Scarlet resembles a giant doll because Scarlet as a little girl adored dolls and her father bought her as many dolls as possible to give her a happy yet short life. He even described her hands as "pure as porcelain". And even her name is an allussion of how she died - she died by mutilation and there was a lot of spilled blood during her death... - Mary’s face (according to James in novelization) resembles Holy Mary for James. And interesting fact that Maria has a tattoo of butterfly which is a symbol of rebirth while Mary spits moths - the symbol of death. - The Grey Children in film also symbolize Alessa’s bullies from her school but unlike their game counterparts they don’t seem to be harmful at all. When the one approaches Rose it starts burning from inside (alluding to Alessa’s burning) and starts screaming in pain and reaches hands to Rose just like a child reaches its hands to a mother for comfort. That Grey Children wanted comfort and when Rose started screaming and running away they became more aggressive. Also - if the children that bullied Alessa were trapped in Fog World as Grey Children they were forced to live agonizing pain for 30 years and they should be around 40s in Real World. And don’t forget about Stalkers - the invisible versions of Grey Children found in Nowhere :) - Mannequins also symbolize James’ sexual frustration because they are only pair of feminine legs. - Also - as for Insane Cancer it might represent Heather’s feelings of her own not yet known pregancny. Many women think that because of pregnancy they will become disgusting and ugly and they will never look the same as before. And it might allude to god as a cancer for the real world. - It is also interesting how we can never see how Helen/Momma looked as a human. We know how Richard looked like but not Helen. I think it’s because that Alessa didn’t had enough power to show us and Travis how his mother looked like. Travis repressed the memories of his parents. And the gas she uses is an allusion to how she tried to kill herself and Travis via gas from the oven. - Another interesting theory about Siam alludes to Alex’s parents marriage as it was his father Adam who made all decisions making him the leader and ruler and his mother, Lillian was just agreeing with everything he said and was more or less “powerless” or unwilling to do anything against her husband will. - The reason why Amnion resembles a spider is a reference to how Joshua loved insects - especially spiders. Amnion even dies like spider - flipping on her back and curling her legs. And also the way her head extends like a telescope alludes to a photography - Josh also loved taking photos of everything and everyone in Shepherd’s Glen. - I also found an interesting theory that Screamers could be Carol’s Pendelton manifestation and her screams could symbolize her grief and screaming at him for letting Charlie die at the hands of Napier. In idle state Screamers often put their fists to their faces as if they are crying and make a cradle out of their hands as if they were putting a baby to sleep.

Still mad that P.T. got canceled. I loved the free demo though. Really wanted to see that game made.

I love how most of the advice after discussing the monsters appearance is usually just "Run away" or "Good luck". Really encourages the games message of "you're fucked".

I remember when I was 7-8 years old, me and my brother (5-6 yo) had just received our first Playstation as a christmas gift. My aunt's husband asked if he could borrow it for a week or two and give it to a friend that could chip it so that he could download and burn whatever games we would like for free. We said yes (ofc), and when we got it back, we received about 30 different games with it. One of them was the original Silent Hill game (as well as Resident Evil 3: Nemesis)! We used to play it when we knew our mother couldn't see what we where playing, but one time she happened to walk in on us playing it, and oh boy... our aunt's husband received a mighty scolding for giving us games like that!

Favorite monsters for me as well as the most unique would be the Nurses. They don't move unless you do and to me that's such a cool concept

Unfortunately you didn't go into the proper backstories of some of these monsters, such as Asphyxia. You say the hands cover the nakedness then you say they're groping, which is two different things, and she was a child while she died so why would she be GROPING herself? You also didn't mention how she looks like a caterpillar because her favourite book as a child was Alice in wonderland

I love that every silent hill monster makes sense and actually has a reason to be there

Twin Victim is for me the creepiest one, Just the way it points at you from a far and there faces.... Coolest boss is Scarlet.

When I first played this game . The level of psychological terror it had me was unreal 😳👀

Mannequin is one of my favorite monsters in silent hill. Its beautiful at first but becomes terrifying quickly based on what it does to its victims. Plastization while alive then decapitation...

Long,long time ago I played the first SH and I was amazed when they made the movie. Surely not for everyone. Silent hill is the best movie that emerged from the game. Some details are maybe off but monsters and characters are on point for sure!

I remember when they had the trailer for Silent Hill: The Room the "twin victims" monster made sounds like a baby. Everytime I heard it scream when it was hit was unnerving. I really wish they would have kept it in the game but I can also understand why it most likely wasn't allowed in the end.

Silent hills monsters is not only scary but also symbolistic. It has a more since of horror because of the monsters symbolize real fears and things that can happen

The twin victims are so scary when you encounter them for the first time. The needler is another nasty creature to fight. It can deflect bullets and climb walls.

Silent Hill games helped me through some dark times in my life.

Abstract daddy is the most terrifying one. Amazing video!

I remember being young going to my cousins house playing tiny toons on ps1 and seeing silent hill in the collection of games and my cousin telling me, "that's my daddy's game I'm not allowed to play it" years later knowing what that game was she gave it to me when I was 15 and it scared this shit out of me,definitely one of my favorite game franchises of all time, If I'm not disturbed it's not scary, Silent Hill needs to go back to its roots

I often wonder what level of traumatised do you need to be to actually see anything in Silent Hill. Looking at the monsters that exist they tend to range from guilt over deaths, ligering trauma over violent assaults or something linked to prolonged suffering... Does this mean that someone who has mild guilt over being nasty to their mother-in-law at the family picnic will get an angry yelling lady? Or do you just get to watch everyone else scream and flail? What would an adult deviant art page look like or would Silent Hill scoff at trying to manifest posters of smut? Silent hill feels like some kind of twisted version of having your soul judged for sin when you die. Nasty people fight their way through hell, victims seem to have a habit in the series of hiding and surviving- possibly even escaping once they have processed their trauma and found some bravery and innocent people just go on a sightseeing tour and pop out the other side.

Abstract daddy is one of my favorite monsters, there’s so much story behind it and it spoke to me the most

To me the most disturbing monster was the Janitor from the movie. That scene might be the best piece of game adaptation I've seen. It captures everything perfectly.

The clip of you kicking the insane cancer square in the nuts killed me 😂 laughed way too hard at that

Some of the best monsters EVER made including major movie monsters. I really love these monsters. Some go WAY beyond creepy, their disgusting. Which makes great monsters. 👍😉

They did such a fantastic job making all the monsters in Silent Hill

Running into the Twin Victims for the first time is definitely an experience!

Hey, I just wanna say that I absolutely love your vids and they always keep me and friends entertained!! You're an amazing KZfaqr and I hope you keep up the good work!

I can remember playing the first Silent Hill on the original PlayStation. I'd play it right through the night and would need to turn the a light on because I'd get creeped out whenever that radio station and klaxon would sound.

I found the Dolls from SH Downpour fairly disturbing... They looked like mannequins but could deploy ghostly shadows that were impossible to see if you didn't have the uv flashlight. Only by their moaning and sighing could you tell they were there The Wheelman boss was another disturbing one, since he wasn't even Murphy's monster. He was more Anne's, a manifestation of her father's deterioration after a corrupt prison guard beat him to within an inch of his life and left him in a vegetative state.

The Mannequin in the movie was also the only monster done completely in CGI, since it would’ve been impossible to do using practical effects. That aside, my favorite monster in the franchise definitely has to be either Asphyxia or the Schism.

you know silent hell has the balls to have like apparitions of children as monsters like the gray children. Oh I think the movie did really good about the gray children because when it hit that scene that made me just so tense like “oh my God”

43:20 "Doesn't this make you wish you had eyes on your head?" I... Where the hell are my eyeballs right now?

26:23 When I was playing Silent Hill 3 and came across the Insane Cancer. I noticed when you put some distance between you and them, they would lean forward a little bit before they charged at you. By doing so would move their center of gravity forward allowing them to gain the momentum to charge at you.

This video is a reminder that we will never forget the silent hill franchise

Pyramid Head is based on how the executioners of Silent Hill used to dress up like before beheading inmates. Three years before the game, he and Mary went to the Silent Hill Historical Society, and when James saw the portrait titled "Misty day, remains of the Judgment". The visage in the paintings would later align with James' feelings of guilt, inspiring Pyramid Head's physical appearance. Takayoshi Sato, the character designer of Silent Hill 2 said that "the place Silent Hill is used to be the place of execution before the American Civil War, away from cities. Heinous criminals were transferred to that place and got brutally executed. Thus all village people are executioners or family of executioners. Executioners needed to wear a mask or triangular helmet at the event so they do not directly witness their spear when it was piercing flesh. Time has passed, but only the memory of execution lingered." Sato referred to Pyramid Head as a "distorted memory" of the executioners. And this also explains why Pyramid Head also appeared in Silent Hill Homecoming, it is not just a monster manifested from James' guilt, the creature's appearance has historical ties to the town of Silent Hill, and could also be a manifestation of Alex's desire for revenge or judgment on his parents.

When i played it while i was 7, being home alone the first silent hill, the fleshy dogs chasing me through the fog stuck with me. 🥴

The one that creeped me out the most was the Stalker from SH1. First time I came in contact with one was in Nowhere. I was backed into a corner with the chainsaw and since they are almost invisible I couldn't see them, especially the way the camera angle was. When all of a sudden it walked right into the chainsaw and scared the hell out of me! 😂

Thanks for the excellent SH content; it's one of my all time favorite gaming franchises🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

I really enjoyed Homecoming, I know the Japanese team didn’t make it but it was well done and creepy, especially when he has a conversation with his mother in the house. She was so withdrawn from reality, and that creeped me out.

The first silent hill terrified me as a kid when I played it, One of the best survival horror games ever made

I want more dead space for sure at least a remaster but absolutely love silent hill as well I just wish the movies could’ve been longer and more lore driven

First video I've seen and in the first 5 sec I subbed bc the narration. Nice work

More of these monsters need to be put into a Live-Action movie.

I grew up playing The Suffering 1 & 2 game on ps2. I would be so scared to play the second one that I couldn’t even go to the bathroom lol. What an underrated gem.

i cant believe i sat to a movie like lenght yt video and didn't notice time, silent hill is one of the best horror and most terrifying place i would go in my nightmares

*Absoluetly love the depths of explanations!*

Have you ever checked out the two The Suffering games, they took inspiration from the Silent Hill games with their enemy design

I usually hate horror movies for many reasons, but this one is right up there with Event Horizon for me. Even as an adult, the monsters are so creepy.

The Twin Victims point at you like "That's him officer, he didn't crank that soulja boy".

Dude where are the lust's? Those things were terrifying and they literally raped you in the game, an embody meant of your choices if you were too flirtatious with the females met in the game.

Pyramid head wasn't creepy at all. He was more a cool enemy instead of a creepy one.

There are a lot of moments and monsters of the series that are stuck in my head since I was a kid. Nothing has scared me since Silent Hill 3. Not even a single movie, nor a game. Absolutely great videogames

IIRC, the Grey Children were replaced in some versions because of censorship concerns about depicting violence to/from children. In some countries video games were legally classified as "children's toys" at the time (might still be, I'm not sure) which means you can run into trouble when you want to depict certain topics. Rule of Rose ran into the same problem because of its depictions of extreme bullying in a boarding school.

The Silent Hill series gets more disturbing the more you think about it

Unpopular opinion but silent hill 4:the room is my favorite by far

silent hill 1 and 2 r some of my favorite games of all time, absolutely legendary. i really hope this series doesnt die out.

wow amazing job !! ... A great video. Thank !!

3:40 this defiantly was inspiration for the human centipede

Thr fact that you keep using Homecoming footage tells me more than I need to know about you as a SH fan.

I think Pendlum is one of the most unsettling monsters. They creep me out

The algorithm brought me here, amazing content!

Thank you so much ❤ I’m going to need this when I drive through Silent Hill 🥰

I love the Silent Hill series... even the not very good movie, the atmosphere compensated for the bad storyline... thank you, great video.

Silent hill 4 is one of my favourite games. It's a shift from the previous games which but still keeps the feel.

Nurse: **Defined as one of the scariest silent hill monsters** Every horny Silent Hill fan: **Deletes Search History**

Wish they'd bring silent hill back

Konami itself is the scariest silent hill monster.

I know everyone hates this but how will we learn if we never talk about it, PENchant is the word you’re looking for at 3:23 , not PERchant

Nice Vid!

Nice vid!

I think the first few games were the peak: the graphical limitations of the time really suited this series. As things became more realistic and fast paced the psychological element which made the series dissapeared.

17:35 those moths are coming out from a different set of lips.

I'm surprised at two things here: 1. That no dog enemies made the list (sniffers and splithead being the ones that got to me personally) and 2. That homecoming was so prevalent, despite having heard it was a garbage game (but hey, I'm one of the few BIG fans of SH:4 the room, so maybe I'd like homecoming)

im watching this at night, great.

Abstract daddy looks like a human ravioli

tbh for some reason pyramid head is the only creature that sticks to my nightmares during my childhood lol.

NICE VID!

Excellent presentation, as always, New subscriber here :)

Never really played silent Hill growing up till. Way later. But I always thought pyramid head was the main villain of the series. Of coarse after playing it and realizing he's only in 2. I felt foolish.

Honestly “It Chapter 1” and chapter 2 should have consulted with these monster designers for truly scary things for Pennywise to turn into to scare the main characters that are symbolic with the characters

I've always found the way Screamers jump on Murphy's back very cute : D

6:31 this is actually horrifying how it points at you

The Missionary kinda reminds me of that boss in one of the Splatterhouse games with chainsaw arms and a sack on its head

You should really consider doing a video about the monsters from the Suffering duology.

All creatures in Silent Hill are SCARY!

nice vid!

For me the one that scared me the most was the Grey Children.

4:08 we just going to ignore the fact that it just came out of a sphincter?

Homecoming really hit the nail on the head for the pure horror of the bossfights. It's everything Im terrified of and more, I love it

Sweet vid

Out of all monsters the only one that was the scariest was the Siamese twins

Homecoming definitely had some of the best monster designs of the series. Those little asshole demon babies from the first game, though. Sheesh.

Made my day

Nice vid
