Friday night Apocalype. Saturday night Silent Hill 4. YES!!!!

Heretic: You don't wander into the streets of Silent Hill this time. You do, however, go to the forest near the town and visit the orphanage that was mentioned in 3, Hope House.


KCET: I envy you. You lucky dude!!!! Yeah, I got the game before, but you'll see the movie two months before me (that if I don't get it somewhere before)

Im way too scared of that game to even attempt to play it, we have a trailer of one on the PS2 (dont know which one though) and it gave me a nightmare the first time I watched it!

was it a guy or a girl in the trailer?

all of the silent hill games aren't that bad after you play through them once... that's how i got used to silent hill 2, i've played through the game about 10 times, maybe more now. but silent hill 2 is an excelent game!!

i just saw jacob's ladder. Now I see what everyone was talking about.

i saw that movie a looong time ago and i dont remember any of it, so i dont know how that ties into SH

Well hes dead in the end like in one of the sh1 endings. I see jezzi (his girlfriend) as his maria and the train station are what I noticed theres probably more.

Wana know an even scarier game is.. Doom3, now that is scary
www.doom3.com

Doom 3 is NOT scary! Its an action game! Theres no way you can say Doom 3 is scarrier than Silent Hill!

now, Doom 3 is supposta be really scary, and it prolly would scare me a little, but saying that any game is scarrier than silent hill is just stupid. well except maybe Fatal Frame

I saw the trailer now I have to play it, it lookes great.

i'm thinking of spending 40 on it tonight... should i? (sh4 i mean lol)

I never did find Slient Hill scary... just sickening.... so much gore

whats the problem??? GORE ROCKS!!!!

yeah gore rocks. Especially the blood spattery kind. YAY GORE!

Freaking BurnSide, finish the story already

Be nice. Burn side has a job......loser.

Did.. well i got suspected for 5 days. So now i don't have a job currently. Which means, suprisingly, LESS posting for now, since my job is so stupid i'm looking for a new one.
Expect the rest of the story tomorrow. Sorry about the wait, i hope you still remember what's been written so far. If someone could compile all the chapter fus far into one post that would be truely awesome.



In other news, saw SH4 today in the store. Sadly, only for XBOX, there was no mention of the PS2 version, anywhere. Strange. Maybe a shipping problem? Guess i'll find out soon.

but gore doesn't equal scary.
RE doesn't have half the gore, but can terrify you from going around the next corner.

ill do that for ya

SILENT HILL
Intro


The year is 1979. Harry Mason and his wife are vacationing in Silent Hill. Upon leaving they discover a baby along the side of the road. They decide to take it home and raise it as their own. Four years later harry's wife dies from an incurable disease, and Harry continues to raise Cheryl as his daughter.

The year is 1986. Cheryl is 7 years old. Harry and Cheryl are in their Jeep heading to Silent Hill for a vacation. The hour is late and the road, strangely, has been deserted for the last 5 miles. Harry's head nods, he's very sleepy. Cheryl naps in the car, holding her sketchbook. Suddenly Harry sees a light behind him, a bike. The bike passes Harry's Jeep and he sees it's a female cop, who nods at Harry and zooms off into the distant darkness. Several minutes of driving on the side of a mountain, and Harry sees the bike the cop was riding on, strewn across the side of the road. The cop is no where to be seen. He decides to stop, turns his gaze to the road ahead, and realises there's a woman standing infront of him on the road. She seems to have appeared out of nowhere. Harry frantically spins the wheel, and everything goes black.

Harry awakes in his Jeep. He seems to have gone over the rail and down through the woods into town. Cheryl is gone, the door open. He gets out of the Jeep and inspects the area. It's incredibly foggy, he can barely see 10 feet infront of him. And, it's snowing, in the middle of summer. It also seems to be day, at least 12 hours after he crashed.

Harry starts walking down the road, calling for his daughter, or anyone. The town is deserted. Not a soul in sight, not a body, no one. Cars are parked on the road as normal, nothing seems to be out of place. Suddenly he spots a girl in the distance, Cheryl. He calls out to her but she runs away. Harry gives chase, a block, and down an alley. He hears a gate open and follows Cheryl through the gate... on the otherside is something. Something that once resembled a dog, the leash still teathered around the remains of it's neck. But it seems to have been exploded from the inside. Harry holds back a barf and continues down the alley. The snow stops and turns to rain suddenly, and is it getting darker?

Suddenly harry finds himself plunged in total blackness, the day seems to have turned to night within minutes! He lights a match to see with and continues down the alley.

What's this? A hospital gurney? Two of them!! The undenyable blood stains on the hospital bed worrying harry even more. He hurries down the alley. It seems to go on forever. There's a wheelchair, upturned, the wheel in the air still spinnng. Harry goes through another gate.

The alley starts to look less like an alley the further he travels down it. The brickwork walls giving way to grid iron fences, covered in corogated rust. Barbed wire litters the stone path.. and then blood. More blood. Unidentifiable pieces of flesh... Harry illuminates the area with another match. There is a skinned corpse hung up with barbed wire on the rusty iron fence. I's featureless face staring at him.

Suddenly Harry feels a sharp pain in his leg. He turns to see some kind of demon child with a knife stabbing at him. And more,and more. Their demonic laugh of joy the last thing he remembers...

The Search


Harry wakes up in some kind of diner. Had it all just been a dream? But it was so real feeling. He looks out the window and sees the familiar destered streets and white fog, like a carpet over the town. A woman walks towards him. Dressed in black leather pants, and a blue cop shirt, Harry realises it's the cop who had passed him on the bike on the road.

After a brief chat she explains she is from the next town over and came responding to a distress call. She gives you a gun and tells you to be careful, while she looks for a way out of town. In the diner Harry finds a knife, a map of the northern silent hill area and a flashlight. As he leaves the diner a radio starts giving of a strange static. What could it be? He moves to check it out..

Everything happens at once. The window in the far corner of the diner impodes. Suddenly the window infront of him does the same, and he's faced against a flying set of claws. The monster shrieks at him, it's pink flesh flapping in the air. How can such an abonination exist? He aims the handgun and fires, killing it inches from his face. Something is VERY wrong with this town, and he must find his daughter! Looking at the map he decides to check that alley she went down one more time.

A few minutes of darting from shadow to shadow in the down, avoiding the demonic flying creatures and harry finds himself at the remains of the dog again. He goes down the ally, only to find it blocked. But what's this? Cheryls notebook is lying on the ground. In blue crayon is scribbled on the paper 'TO SCHOOL'. She's at the school...

Harry find the town infested with the flying demons and also bizarre skinless Dogs. Cutting through a house to the school in the suthern part of the residential area of town he pauses to catch his breath. Demons. Fog. The town completely deserted. Where the hell is everone? He finds and pockets a first aid kit, and inspects the house. Food still on the plates, the phone line dead. No signs of struggle. He ducks out the back door.

The snow suddenly stops, turning to rain. The town is plunged into darkness. No light, no sound, just darkness. He switches on his flashlight, determined to make it to the school.....

School

Harry closes the front door of the school behind him. The mad dash in the dark to the school had been rough, there were the flying demons and dog demons everywhere and in the darkness his shooting had been off. Luckily he'd run into a convienience store stacked with handgun bullets, his pockets gingled with each step.
The school as he suspected is deserted. No signs of life. The flashlight illuminating dark hallways. Nothing however seemed out of the ordinary. So Cheryl is here?

Harry scoops up a memo with teachers names on it. It's been written over in blood, a bunch of riddles. Something about the key to the clocktower? He tosses it aside and opens a door to the teachers lounge.

There on the wall of the lounge was a picture that made his blood turn cold. It was a painting of a doorway with two bodies hung on each side of the door by hooks embedded in their backs.
This? In a SCHOOL? He was starting to suspect something very wrong with Silent hill.

Several minutes Harry spends looking in empty dark classrooms and hallways. In the bathroom he thought he heard a child crying, but there was no one there. On the second floor he finds a locker room. The is a horrible thudding from inside one of the lockers. He opens it and a cat burst out and ran down the corridor. Nothing else. Harry finds a small oval crest, it looks useful. Finally deciding to check out the courtyard he heads back downstairs. Still no signs of life, the place completely deserted except for a few oversized cockroaches and the occasional howl of something foul outside.

Harry opens the door to the courtyard, and sees something in the darkness. Something small, naked, pale. Coming his way. Laughing, an evil demonic laugh of enjoyment and pleasure. It held up a knife. The same creatures from his dream! He points the handgun and fires at it, and another, exploding their heads in a spray of gore. There's a clocktower out here with a large hole for something to be placed. He places the crest and the door unlocks. It's a tiny door and he crawls inside. A ladder. The ladder seems to go down forever, and there's nothing but darkness at the bottom. But what's that sound, air raid sirens? He vaguely remembers hearing them in the dream, when the world shifted to the nightmare realm.... at the other side of the small dark room was a ladder leading up. He grabs the ladder and climbs. A door at the top. He steps out of the door... into the school courtyard. Hadn't he come from here? No it's different somehow. There's a gigantic demonic cult symbol carved in the ground. Harry is confused. He tries the door back into the school he came out of but it's locked. Trying the door on the other side it opens...

And reveals a scene of death and gore like nothing he'd ever seen. Quickly dispatching of two of the demon children he inspects the once-was school hallway. The walls have turned to rusted iron slabs covered in blood. The ceiling littered with bloody meat hooks and bits of unidentifiable flesh. A large fan humms taking up part of a wall, looing like several human bodies had been thrown into it and churned up.
Cheryl is HERE?

Harry stumbles down another dark school hallway, checking the classroom. All the classrooms have been replaced with death and decay, almost like a fire has brandished the area while he was under the clock tower. Still no sign of anyone except these horrible demon things. He checks the bathroom again at the end of the hall. Blood drips out from under the stall. Opening the stall he finds a corpse, skinned and bloody, pinned by the arms and legs to the back wall. It's eyeless sockets watching him. On the wall written in blood is 'Leonard Rynes, The monster Lurks'. A book title and author? He leaves the bathroom and heads to the teachers lounge. The painting is gone, to Harrys horror it has become real. A large door and on either side two tortured human bodies, pinned to the wall by their melted flesh.

Through the door and up the stairs to the second floor, Harry finds himself in a classroom with a bunch of blue phones. They've all got dead air on the line. As Harry leave the room, one of them rings. The noise is unnatural and pircing in the dark, silent hell. He slowly picks up the reciever and puts it to his ear.

'Daddy? Help me. Daddy where are you?'

Cheryls voice. Where could it have come from? Full of determination he starts running around the second floor, pumping the demon children full of holes. He finds himself in the locker room again, it actually looks like it was before. The thumping again, coming from the same locker. He opens it, expecting to find the cat again.. nothing. Nothing but blood and gore. As he turns to leave the room a body smashes out of another locker behind him onto the floor, it's skinless grotesque face grinning up at him. Time to leave this nightmare. The corpse has a key on it to the basement. Harry heads there.

In the basement Harry finds an elevator and a book. the book is a childs fairytale about a woman who kills the dragon by shooting it in the mouth. He heads down the elevator. At the bottom he find a room illuminated by a burning corpse, and is suddenly attacked by a HUGE lizard! He fires but the bullets pang off it. It's going to eat him! The lizards head splits in half, spraying sick brain matter all over his head.

Suddenly all is black. He's in a school basement, a NORMAL school basement. The generator humms quietly beside him.. and there's a woman. THE woman who made him crash. She looks a little like Cheryl, but about 15 years older. She's wearing a blue dress with a white collar. The woman stares at him.. and then dissapears right before his eyes. A ghost maybe?

He heads back upstairs. White daylight is pooring in the windows. No gore, no rust, no corpses, just a normal school. What's happening in this town.

Suddenly he hears church bells. Deciding Cheryl isn't here, he longs to talk to somene about all this. Who's ringing those bells? He would find out soon enough.

To the Hospital


Harry reaches the Church with no problems. Looks like the creatures appear less during the day then they do when it's dark. He had no idea how long he'd been in town but a day must have passed at least. The ringing stopped about a block away but he found it no problem: it was the same church him and his wife had run away to get married in 9 years before.

The door creaks open and Harrp steps inside. A normal chruch with pews and.. and an old woman standing at the alter facing him like she was waiting for him. Her feet bare, he head covered by a veil, a very strange looking woman. She starts talking in riddles and confused delusion after harry asks what's going on. Flaruros? Demon gods? What is this rubbish she speaks of?

'The town is being devoured by the darkness!' she says to harry. 'You must take the flauros to illuminate the way through the darkness. Stop the darkness from devouring the town!' and with that she was gone. She had given her name, Daliha Gilespie. Well that was weird. Harry inspects the altar and finds the thing she must have called 'Flauros'. A strange multi-sided object with no apprent use. Harry pockets it, and sits to collect his thoughts so far.

A deserted town, covered with fog. Snow during the day, rain at night. Changes from day to night within minutes, and is full of demonic creatures. And at the school, the shift to the 'other' world where the place looked like a fire had ripped through it with tortured corpses everywhere, he couldn't even get his head around it. He wondered if Daliha was still here, maybe more people are. He wondered if Cybil, the cop he ran into at the diner, was gonna come back with backup. He wondered where Cheryl was. He'd always told her if she was lost to go to the... police station! Studying the map the police station was over the river in the shopping distict. Harry would go there.

The station was a bust, as he had expected. All he'd done there was kill yet another new demon that resembled a rotting mutated ape. There were some files however, about a drug that alot of the town residents were hooked on. White Claudia. Apparently it possesed the capability of giving hallucinations and no one knew how it was getting trafficed into town.

Walking down the street wondering what to do next, Harry hears a gunshot. Someone else in town!? Maybe it was Cybil. He heads in the direction of the gunshot, shooting at a flying demon along the way, and discovers it came from the Hospital. With a deep breath he pushes open the hospital front doors...

Upon first glance, the hospital seems empty. The daylight flowing in through windows, plants in dire need of watering, nothing out of the ordinary. Determined to find where the gunshot came from, Harry takes a few steps down the marble hallway and peers into the first door he sees. It's a small doctors office with another door at the end. Slowly he pushes open that door..

A man is sitting on a stair. Nice grey suit, slick sharp haircut, smoking gun in his hands. A flying demon at his feet. Slowly the man stands up and aims the gun at harry, obviously delusional. He fires but misses. WAIT shouts harry! The man colapses back in the chair. He is Dr. Michael Kaffman and claims to work here at the hospital. Harry asks if he knows whats going on, and he shakes his head. "I was taking a nap here in the lounge. When i woke up, everything was crazy" he says. "Look outside, it's snowing in the summer. And you and i both know abominations liek these demons don't exist." Harry asks if he's seen his daughter, but Kaffman shakes his head, snatching up a briefcase and heading for the door. He wishes Harry good luck in his search, and then leaves Harry with only more questions.

After a long search of the hospital's first floor, through the kitchen, repection office, a few waiting rooms, Harry finds himself in a small doctors office that's been obliterated. Someone has searched for something in here. There's smashed glass all over the floor and a red, sticky liquid mixed in. Harry decides the liquid may be important, and scoops some up ina plastic squeeze bottle.

The basement is also empty. Pitch black, but deserted. No one else alive, no demons, nothing. He turns on the elevator generator, and takes the elevator, deciding to check the other floors.

Harry checks the second floor. The door to the hallway is locked. He checks the third floor, the door is also locked. With a heavy heart he returns to the elevator, ready to leave, and is shocked. A 4th floor has appeared suddenly on the elevators buttons. He pushes it and gets off on the mysterious 4th floor.

Blood.

Mold. Wreakage. Decay, the stench of death and burnt flesh fills his nostrils, just like back at the school. The floor is plunged in darkness and harry lights his flashlight, his heart beating. He steps through the door. The familiar meat hooks with bits of flesh dangling from them and the rusted iron walls. He walks down the hallway but all the doors are locked. Except the last one, the stairs. He decends to the 3rd floor, turns.. only to find there's nothing behind him. No 4th floor, like he'd just walked through an entire floor of a building that didn't exist.

Opening the third floor door slowly, and closing it behind. There are gaping holes in the hospital floor giving way to darkness, the sharp edges of the holes drenched in shreds of meat like something alive was dragged in roughly against it's will, ripping the flesh of it's bones.

'Urrrr...' A groan. A moan of pain and anguish and horror. Harry whips his head in the direction of the noise and sees a nurse lumbering her way to him. Is she injured? He runs over to the hunched nurse, noting her nurse uniform soaked with fresh blood. 'Are you okay?' he asks. Then it happened. She lashed out with an unseen knife, stabbing into Harrys shoulder. Something lurched from her back in a stray of blood, some kind of huge moving lump like something alive inside her trying to get out. Harry stumbes back, and the nurse was on him, trying to stab his face.

Harry fires, point blank. The round smashing the nurses skull, the body twitching on him as he pushes it off in absolute horror. The lump on the nurses back erupts in a spray of gore and tissue, and a parasite of sorts emerges, and Harry stamps on it...

Thanks Janiel.

Talon, i don't personally find the RE games scary. The odd 'BOO!' scare is nothing to me compared to the constant fear produced by Silent Hill.
Of course in the Remake and Zero the atmosphere is better but it's still blowing zombie brains apart, which doesn't nothing to me at all compared to mutilated corpses and unknown evil creations of the pits of the human mind in Silent Hill.
Maybe it's because i'm more afraid of humans than i am of monsters. Terrible and disgusting things lie at the dwells of the human mind.

And again with Doom3, i finally got around to playing it and while it looks nice and it's entertaining i really don't see any reason for it to be called scary.
Each to their own.

I always found the idea of that the Nemisis is chasing me, or that I was about to run out ammo scary in RE.

I always felt with SH 'I think I'm gonna throw up ', rather than with RE 'I'm going to die, I'm going to die '

Guess, its personal taste.

Well in silent hill I feel like this "WHATS THAT!.Oh my god!AHHH!WHAT'S MAKING THAT NOISE! I can't play anymore.....ok maybe for a little longer...." Yep.

Weird, a bit like what I feel like when playing Civ 3. "Whats That! I didn't realise I had a Tank still next to that city! I'll take then to go bed... what, they destoryed?! Ah not to worry, North Corel and Krynn just produced a two new ones, I'll just send them over and... arrrrrrgh! What have they got defending that city?! Ah, got you! Oh wait, now I can more my troops straight next to that city there... I should really go to bed, but I'll just take over them first... just a few more turns..."

Nemesis was pretty scary.
MOVIE TIME!!

Tell us everything when you get back K

They had a silent hill 4 trailer during the resident evil movie. I find that kind of odd.

Like advertising for a rival

when did you see that???

At the resident evil movie at 7:11:13.

.....yeah....

I take it its only a matter of time before someone makes a Silent Hill movie?

They are makeing one.

It's in the works yeah.

Hopefully they'll get that RIGHT.

and hopefully it will be scary as hell. not action packed like RE

I hope so, if those guys make it bad I'm not responsable for what I might do

We will all join forces and systamatically kill everyone in the credits?

Oh yeah, and we kill them with sticks so we will enjoy more the beating

Yes and they can have hot tips too so they hurt more.

Thats impossible I'm afraid, US directors don't know who to do scary anymore, they go for shock and gore. I mean look at the rRing, 'scariest movie of the year' or some such they kept calling it.... it one of the most boring peices of rubbish I have ever seen.

Ive never seen a genuinelly scary but I havent seen alot of foreign films so yeah.

I've seen scary movies, but its not looking over your shoulder scary, its more, 'why are you going round that corner scary'! Like fear for the character rather than fear for youself. Alien, during the air-vents was pretty scary though.... first time around.

I know how to get a good script and production. Turn every one who is involved with the movie crazy before they start then after its done you should one fd up movie.

Yeah, I'd rather just hjave them do their best than go crazy... if they're truely f'd up they'll just ending up writting Teletubbies: The motion picture .... that would terrifying

Hmm....maybe. Tinky Winky demons.......hmm. Great idea.

Wonder which would make the gorier movie Silent Hill or Doom?

i bought sh4... it's awesome!!!
