I was revisiting a video game that scared the crap out of me as a kid. Silent Hill. The game is a survival horror game where your stranded in some mysterious foggy city that is snowing ashes from like a fire. There are mutilated corpses and all kind of horrid looking creatures all over the city and you have to venture through a lot of freaky places, one of the most memorable was the hospital, which is filled with mutilated nurses with bandaged faces and scalpels.N Quite grotesque.

Now in the game there is a "Fourth Floor". This floor differs from everything else in the game as it takes you to a dark world where its really hard and quite scary.

So why the "Fourth Floor"? In Japan (where the game is) no Japanese hospital has a fourth flour. Why? Because "fourth" in Japanese is pronounced the same as "death". Bit freaky, and very creative by the game creators.

If there was a fourth floor in Japanese hospitals I would imagine the nurses would look like this.



If you want to get freaked out, play this game. It's from 1999 so the graphics are a bit out dated, but the imagery and scenarios you get stuck in will leave you sleepless.

Thanks for the heads up...

Am considering an xbox 360 soon... And I love these dark, disturbing games.

Get a PS3! 360 is lame :thumbsup:

Silent Hill was a great game. I thought the movie did it justice, too...
I thought the movie was great. Yes they changed a few things to make the story more appropriate for a movie, but it really was the closest to the game from any video game to movie out there.

Can't wait for the sequel!

You should also give Alan Wake a try that was a good scary game imo
Funny I never heard of it until 2 days ago. Isn't it an xbox 360 exclusive?

One of the freakiest games ever was Eternal Darkness, a gamecube game. You slowly go insane and rooms start to change and you hallucinate. It's crazy.

Resident Evil has lost it's touch but will always be one of my favorites.

Oh by the way. Just completed Silent Hill. Got the bad ending :"(. Going for the Good+ ending this run through on a replay with new fear.
