10 Times Silent Hill Was Absolutely Terrifying

2. Eileen Galvin€™s Giant Head - Silent Hill 4: The Room

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgWbYsHMPSw This next scene from Silent Hill 4: The Room is similar to how randomly terrifying Heather€™s experience in the storage room was, but what€™s inside of this room is one of the most shocking and strangest things ever to be found in a Silent Hill game: a giant bust of Eileen's head. What makes this scene remarkable is Team Silent€™s use of fixed camera angles. Upon entering the room, players can see Henry and Eileen facing them while hearing strange moaning in the background. Once they walk forward slightly, the camera suddenly shifts onto the source of the sound. This sudden shift in camera angles is enough to elicit a jump from players, even though the head is incapable of harming Henry. Seeing the strange head is enough to stick in players' minds; they won't be able to forget this. Some have speculated that the moaning suggests that Henry has always felt sexual attraction to Eileen. While it's unclear what Eileen's head represents, it serves as another example for Team Silent's ability for creating symbols that fans continue to discuss.
