Silent Hill: Not your mother's cosplay

The word "disturbing" is not often far removed from the word "cosplay." You'll frequently find them situated together in very close proximity, as in: "Look at that
grown man dressed as Captain Falcon; that's kind of disturbing." Fairly innocent, right? The connotation we would associate with the
Silent Hill costumes pictured above is a little more direct, as in: "Those
Silent Hill costumes are disturbing." Given the arc of the franchise though, we suppose that's the point.
Seen at
Anime Central 2009 (photos by
Judith Stephens) the costumes are frighteningly accurate recreations of the both Pyramid Head and a nurse from the
Silent Hill series (and are based on
the film versions of those characters by the looks of things). Hit the source link for lots more pictures, and possibly a few nightmares.
Those with weaker stomachs would probably be better served by the
Pyramid Head snowman, which is
almost cute.
