10 Hilarious Horror Video Game Deaths

Much like Dead Space, the Silent Hill games don't have much interest in poking their tongue through their cheek, generally taking their suffocatingly bleak mythology and tone as seriously as possible.

But try not to laugh in Silent Hill 3 if you happen to stumble your way past a ladder and accidentally make protagonist Heather fall to her death down a long, dark hole.
