10 Video Game Monsters So Scary We Can't Even
3. Mary – Silent Hill 2
When you think of Silent Hill, most players immediately imagine Pyramid Head. That’s too stale, though. Mary, the real boss of the game, was a terrifying, malevolent presence.
Despite being so horrifying, Mary was not a constant presence throughout the survival horror game. Instead, she was always at the back of our mind, tauntingly close.
The deceased wife of James Sunderland, Mary vacations to Silent Hill a couple of years prior to Silent Hill 2's events. She was a kind, sweet woman who spent her final moments in distress and anguish as her body and mind were consumed by disease.
Although she is dead, killed by James' hand, she remains a presence in his delusions. Each monster in the game is a physical representation of her pain, including Pyramid Head and Flesh Lip.
Without her, they would never exist.
