History NightmareFuel / SilentHillOrigins

* The Otherworld Library in the theater was definitely one of the creepiest locations in the series. It feels like something out of Lovecraft's Cthulhu stories, with all the oddly ancient books in the room (which are perhaps made of human flesh?) and the mention of unrecognizable languages.

* The music for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOPAI3XxGIs Otherworld Hospital]] is the very definition of High Octane Nightmare Fuel.

* The Remnant, it may have a simple design but especially on the darker PS2 Version, it's quite possible for you to stumble blind into one with your flashlight off as their simple design actually makes them hard to see with the flashlight off, meaning they can potentially catch you off guard if you try to be sneaky.

* Carrion. Slow moving skinless parodies of roadkill, dragging themselves across their ground with their hind limbs. They don't look like much, but running into more than one of them in the Otherworld with no warning [[EliteMooks and having half or ALL your health knocked out in a matter of seconds]] ups the NightmareFuel considerably.

* The opening in general.

* [[LighterAndSofter A somewhat slight entry in the series,]] but it boasts the Cedar Grove Sanitarium and the Artaud Theatre, two of the creepiest environments of all the games.

-->'''Memory of Richard Grady''': "I'm not sleeping, son. You knew I wasn't sleeping. Why did you stand there for so long? It wasn't right. It wasn't healthy, son. Time you faced up to what happened. Your mother... and I... will see you in Heaven, son."

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p62i_nqt2GA The E3 2006 Trailer]], '''holy shit'''. Very unnerving, creepy, surreal imagery all while playing a constant glitching version of "Hometown". And that's not ''even getting'' to the batshit insane scenes midway such as a wheelchair [[NothingIsScarier being pulled into the darkness without it being touched]] and then a silent scene of hanging chains and [[spoiler: the Butcher being seen in the light]].

* When Travis has those weird...flashbacks. Everything suddenly shifts to black and white and muffled voices both familiar and foreign begin to speak. They come out of nowhere and break the silence, fading back to normal just as quickly.

* Nowhere. The streets of Silent Hill have shifted into the Otherworld, it's pitch black, and they're swarming with all the nastiest monsters in the game.

* The entire backstory of the game falls into this when you really think about it. Dahlia Gillespie sets her 7 year old daughter Alessa on fire, which would be an unfathomably heinous crime on its own, but considering that she's doing it with the intention of causing her to suffer unimaginable agony so that she can incubate the cult's god, the situation is greatly worsened.

* Travis enters the room where his father killed himself, and finds ''his hanged corpse'' still there. And then it begins to talk...

** And after he finishes speaking, his head begins to twitch as he mutates into a horrifying monster.

* The Remnant. Those weird shadow creatures that are encountered in the Sanitarium.
* "PLEASE HELP ME"

* "I'm not sleeping, son. You knew I wasn't sleeping. Why did you stand there for so long? It wasn't right. It wasn't healthy, son. Time you faced up to what happened. Your mother...and I...will see you in Heaven, son."

* Nowhere.

* The Memories of [[spoiler: Helen and Richard Grady]]. They're horrifyingly mutated versions of [[spoiler: Travis' deceased parents]].
