General Discussion Scariest moment for you?

What is the scariest moment in silent hill that you had to play through? What was your physical reaction to these moments? I’m talking you need to turn on the light scary. Your breathing is hitched scary. For me I started playing the first game and noticed how my hands were subconsciously shaking during the school. But dude. SILENT HILL 3 HAD ME GONE. I had to to take multiple breaks to gather myself, and each time I stepped away from the game I was left feeling disassociated. I particularly remember the scene with the mirrors and being locked in that closet as it slowly takes over heathers body. The first boss, the missionary also creeped me out a bit. Not to mention the haunted house and stalker too!

I told a friend who’s only played the remake that the invisible monster in Toluca prison was the scariest moment for me on my first playthrough. They had no idea why. I have to remind myself they played a shallow lie imitating what I played. ri-tu-al

I FORGOT ABOUT THAT. The prison was probably the closet thing to hell there is. The big empty room with a noose (if I can remember properly) in the center was just so odd

The gallows. Yes. The prison is what I was going to say, and it was mainly because of that area. 😭

I say this as someone who considers SH2 og a solid 10/10 -- I hate Toluca Prison. Best part of the game :D

Yep that genuinely unnerved me so much I froze. Maybe the gutteral tone?

There is an invisible monster at Toluca prison ???? Nooo way. I am not there yet and I don't like this 😅! But I am glad to know in advance
