00:00Welcome to Mojo Plays and today things are going to get spooky.

00:14Silent Hill hides its lore behind metaphors and in-game clues, but dedicated fans have

00:19managed to build the lore into an understandable text that fans have studied for hours on end.

00:25These are 10 Silent Hill Enemies With Disturbing Backstories.

00:30Let's do it.

00:39Lisa

00:40Admittedly, P.T. wasn't an official Silent Hill game, but it was a well-known teaser

00:52for Silent Hills, so we're going to include it.

00:54Lisa from P.T. is undeniably one of the most terrifying monsters in the Silent Hill franchise,

01:00primarily because there's just no freaking way to stop her.

01:04P.T. is a walking experience, forcing players to watch as Lisa haunts them to progress,

01:09rather than hit her with a massive piece of wood.

01:12Lisa is unusually tall and has an unsettling twitch to her head, and may I just say, ew.

01:18She wears a blood-soaked, filthy dress and her disgusting smile, paired with her brown

01:23stains around her mouth and gory eye socket, make her one of the creepiest people to ever

01:27exist.

01:28And I know a guy called Bobby the Butt Grabber.

01:31Let's look at her backstory.

01:32Lisa was murdered by her husband, who used a knife to kill her, he gouged out her right

01:37eye and stabbed her in the stomach while she was pregnant, causing the fetus to fall to

01:42the floor.

01:43It doesn't get much worse than that.

01:53Robbie the Rabbit

02:08Robbie the Rabbit has made an appearance in nearly every Silent Hill game, but his debut

02:12in Silent Hill 3 is particularly memorable for the unsettling impact it has on players.

02:17This is his backstory to many fans, as every appearance since reminds us of this unsettling

02:23installment.

02:24Robbie was introduced as the mascot for Lakeside Amusement Park, with oversized mascots of

02:28Robbie being found slumped in various locations throughout the park.

02:32The thing that makes Robbie so unsettling is the mystery of whether a dead body lies

02:36within these figures, and to this day, the mystery remains unanswered, leaving a lingering

02:41sense of dread that persists even when he appears as mere dull merchandise in other

02:46games.

02:53Grey Children

02:54The original Silent Hill is over 20 years old, yet its Grey Children remain terrifying.

03:06These are the first monsters players face when the town shifts into the other world,

03:10and being surrounded by a swarm of Grey Children is still one of the most chilling moments

03:14in the series, highlighting the need for a remake.

03:17I experienced this at my best friend Jack's birthday party.

03:20He got so scared he had to leave the room, and I single-handedly ruined his birthday.

03:25Worth it.

03:26The largely accepted interpretation suggests that the Grey Children represent Alessia Gillespie's

03:30twisted perception of her classmates, serving as haunting reminders of the torment and ridicule

03:35she endured, like when they scrawled go home and drop dead on her desk.

03:40This idea is reinforced by the childish laughter the Grey Children emit while attacking Harry.

03:45Their behaviour mimics that of real children as they cling to his legs, and even though

03:49they're children, I'd kick them so goddamn hard I'd break a toe.

03:53Victim Ghosts

03:55Silent Hill 4 The Room is an underrated instalment in the series.

03:59This entry strips away any sense of safety, as even Henry Townsend's home base apartment

04:04is frequently assaulted by Walter Sullivan's numerous victims.

04:07These terrifying, decaying foes cannot be defeated, and inflict headaches and psychic

04:11trauma on Henry just by proximity.

04:14At their most intense, they can even reach into him and grasp his heart.

04:18Admittedly, I've already spoiled their backstory, but enduring these creatures for the majority

04:22of the game, and finally learning that not only are they the victims of the previous

04:26tenant, but that you could very possibly become one yourself, is a feeling of dread unmatched

04:31in the series.

04:33Gumhead

04:34Gumheads are unsettling ape-like creatures from Silent Hill 4 The Room.

04:46They emit monkey-like sounds when attacking, often coming at players in packs, making them

04:50a formidable threat.

04:52Uniquely, they are among the few enemy types in Silent Hill that can wield weapons, lending

04:56them an eerie sense of sentience, a trait that mirrors their origin.

05:00The Gumheads symbolise Walter Sullivan's misanthropic perspective on society, reflecting

05:06his childhood fears of adults, and his general negative view of humanity.

05:10Their ability to wield weapons draw a connection to authority, and makes them a terrifying

05:14vision of what Walter Sullivan experienced before becoming a serial killer.

05:24The Nurses

05:25In Silent Hill, the Nurses typically embody the protagonist, or an affected side character's

05:39perception of the medical staff who cause them distress.

05:43For instance, in Silent Hill 1, these creatures are born from Alessa's memory of her time

05:47in the hospital, and the Nurses who tended to her, including Lisa Garland.

05:51While not directly part of the order, they acted as its puppets by keeping Alessa alive.

05:57Nothing is scarier in Silent Hill than the creatures that are born from horrible memories.

06:01Thank god nobody's had a negative experience with a dentist in Silent Hill.

06:04I don't want to see that.

06:09Asphyxia

06:10Alice in Wonderland might not seem like a source for horror, but Silent Hill skilfully

06:36uncovers its darker side.

06:38If they touch the Little Mermaid, we're all doomed.

06:40Asphyxia is a monster from Silent Hill Homecoming.

06:44In life, she was Nora Holloway, a child fascinated by the caterpillar in Alice in Wonderland,

06:49who was tragically sacrificed by being suffocated by her mother.

06:53In Silent Hill's twisted realm, Nora is transformed into a caterpillar-like creature with multiple

06:58writhing arms, and a tail composed of torsos.

07:01Instead of feet, she walks on her hands, symbolizing her death by choking.

07:05In the climactic boss fight, pulling apart the hands over her mouth forces Asphyxia to

07:10breathe, and this breath ironically leads to her demise, a reversal of her suffocation.

07:34Dark Heather

07:35The memory of Alessa from Silent Hill 3 would be a terrifying monster to face in reality.

07:40This dark counterpart to protagonist Heather Mason, who is a popular cosplay choice among

07:44fans, embodies the mind of Alessa, and if you don't know Alessa's backstory, strap

07:49in.

07:50Alessa was bullied relentlessly at school due to her supernatural abilities.

07:54We're going to skip over some of the horrible earlier childhood experiences to get to her

07:58at only 7 years old, where she burned alive in a house fire.

08:02Unfortunately for her, she survived, but only because her mother kept her alive with

08:06incantations.

08:07For 7 more years she suffered on the brink of death, while her mother caused extra torment

08:12in her catatonic state.

08:14Now imagine her spirit brought to life in front of you, terrifying.

08:20The Twin Victims

08:31The Twin Victims in Silent Hill 4 The Room are among the most unsettling monsters in

08:35the game.

08:36Tied to the tragic backstory of Billy and Miriam Locane, two children murdered by the

08:41antagonist Walter Sullivan.

08:43The Twins were part of Walter's 21 Sacraments ritual, in which he killed 21 individuals

08:48as part of a dark, sacrificial process to bring about his rebirth.

08:52Their deaths represent the 7th and 8th victims.

08:55In the twisted world of Silent Hill, they appear as large, conjoined figures with oversized

08:59child-like heads, carried by adult-sized bodies that walk on their hands.

09:04And in perfect Silent Hill fashion, they weren't just murdered, they were dismembered with

09:08an axe, in their parent's front yard.

09:11And they were children, Jesus, abstract daddy.

09:26There is no more unsettling character than Angela, and once you learn her backstory intertwined

09:31with the monster abstract daddy, her vibe starts to make sense.

09:35Abstract daddy is a monster that looks like two figures intertwined in an intimate posture.

09:40To be precise, they are in a reclining sexual position over a bed frame, trapped in this

09:45position by the flesh covering its body.

09:48Not the flesh on their bodies, I mean an extra layer of flesh, like the two bodies have been

09:52vacuum sealed in flesh.

09:55It is a manifestation of the experiences Angela sustained from the sexual abuse by not only

10:00her brother, but her father as well.

10:02Angela ended up dealing with this trauma by murdering her brother and father, causing

10:06them to manifest in Silent Hill as this monstrosity.
