10 Horror Video Game Moments That Will Scar You For Life
3. Pyramid Head - Silent Hill 2
Not the first encounter with Pyramid Head, but the second, this moment is one of the most 'what the f*ck' experiences you can have in the Silent Hill series. And that is really saying something.
Big bad Pyramid Head is a staple of the franchise, and whilst he's introduced fairly tamely from behind a fence earlier on, it's in the scene where we watch him assault mannequins that we get a true insight into what this triangulated terror is all about. A flash of him manhandling the womanly forms is all we get before hiding in a closet and watching him kill the creatures - dragging a body across the floor and staring into James' safe space, eventually moving on.
Bloodied, unnaturally shaped, and intimidating beyond belief, this is quite the grotty entrance for quite the malicious character.
