ACTION FIGURES

Left to right: Patient Demon, Pyramid Head, Mannequin and Nurse Demon by Mark Patraw

These guys take "playing" Silent Hill to a new level!

Not available in stores, this creature from our nightmares was constructed by local Hill Head, Mark Patraw with miscellaneous items such as plastic, glue, cloth and dirt. Pretty damn creative. Do we Hill-Heads have too much time on our hands? Perhaps, but you don't see stuff this cool on the Resident Evil sites, do you, hmmm?

Pyramid Head has been known to do crazy things like run amok on Mark's desk, throw his cigarettes around and try to kill him in his sleep...good thing this Great Knife was made of aluminum foil!

Pyramid Head caught in the act

...and Mark's not the only one with mad action figure constructin' skills...here's another impressive Pyramid Head figure from Denmark...made by Anders Ericksen. You can also check out Ander's other creations in the fan art gallery!

SPEAKING OF BOSSES...check out the Split-Head Lizard Boss he made while he was at it! Mark says,"This was constructed mostly from paper mache and cardboard, although the hinges on the jaw are wire and the flesh/spit strands in the mouth are rubberbands."

ZOMBIE NURSE from Silent Hill 2 was recently added to the Mark Patraw action figure collection. She wants to give you a check up...in the worst way. This hellish beauty was created to try and keep Pyramid Head's er...frustrations to a minumum. Hey, that guy gets around! ^_^

Be sure and check out more of Mark's Silent Hill artwork in the gallery!

COSTUMES

Imagine that you are in an old, abandoned sanitarium. The putrid air is moist and smells of old death. You make your way through the darkness - perhaps for a thrill - perhaps on a quest for answers...carefully stepping around restraint tables, wheelchairs and IV stands.

Your journey takes you to a small room off to the side. Although abandoned and decrepid like the rest of the hospital, this particular room doesn't feel right. There is a strange energy in here that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up...you decide it best to leave...that's when you see the photos on the ground. Picking them up, these are the photos you see. What is that? Or who? Was this a resident of the hospital...or something much more sinister...."

Unsent, known for his awesome Silent Hill fan art, has really outdone himself this time with these photos. This is him in the coveted Pyramid Head costume, ready to reak some havoc this Halloween. Kudos to Unsent, the costume is amazing and really captured my imagination!

If you made a Silent Hill costume, action figure, whatever, do share! Don't be shy, send a picture to CrAsH at cybil_bennett@lycos.com.

OTHER GHOULISH CREATIONS

Pyramid Head was a common theme for Halloween this past year. As a notorious fanatic of the Silent Hill series, you honestly didn't think I'd do something...normal for a Jack-o-Lantern, did you...? Here is my proudly displayed Pyramid Head pumpkin.

The helmeted fiend soon got his revenge on me, however, by leaking a strange, pumpkin-y ooze onto my stereo, destroying the cd player. *shakes fist at sky* Damn you, Pyramid Head, damn you!!!!
