What the hell was up with that?! And the part near the end when your apartment goes black and white then you get to speak with the owner of the apartment prior to Henry. The fact that Walter Sulivan was in a hidden room in your apartment practically crucified to a pole and all his organs were in a refrigerator. The one thing that freaked me out the most in the game was: I was bored at first playing it, but the story picks up steam at one point and then it really engrosses you to find out what happened in Walter Sullivan's past that made him so messed up. I have to admit, that game really messes with your mind more so then the other three. I beat Silent Hill 4 at the beginning of last month on the PS2. Obviously it's meant to be a womb.ДЄnd this constant theme fits in with the idea in the game that Walter Sullivan sees the Room as been his mother.Дeep hey? And people wonder why I like Silent Hill games :cool:Д®dit:: And here's an interview from GDC with Akira Yamaoka, the man responsible for the sound work in team Silent Hill Edited Maby Chode When you go through the final hole to fight Walter, you wake up floating in a translucent red material with half formed humanoid figures along the fleshy walls. In the beginning dream sequence, the story on the coffee table is about a woman dying during childbirth. And the giant 'worm monster' is easily seen as an umbilical cord. Then there's the umbilical cord that the Superintendant has in his room. And every time henry goes through the 'hole' into the outside world, he always arrives in the fetal position. When you go through the hole in first person, it is a tunnel with a very bright light at the end (like a birth canal). Every time you finish a world, the hole is larger (dilated). Henry crawls through it into the outside world. The ghosts/victims crawl the walls, which is very like the wall is giving birth to them. The hidden theme of Silent Hill 2 was obvious to me, but only after some recent reading on another forum did the hidden theme of Silent Hill 4 become apparent.ДЄnd the theme is. Even Pyramid Head (especially if you've ever seen the Fukuro video) has meaning in this theme.

Especially the boss fight against Angela's 'father', in which the very room itself is symbolic of Angela been raped (complete with obvious 'penetration' effects on the walls.

The feminine appearence of the manequins, Maria's enticing manner. Silent Hill 2 held a constant theme of sex. I'm just going to focus on Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 4: The Room. I have never found deep meaning like this in the games which have a storyling regarding the cult of the town (Silent Hill 1 and 3), but I won't discount them. One of the things I've always loved about my favourite Silent Hill games has been the hidden themes and meanings.
