Silent Hill: Not your mother's cosplay
by Richard Mitchell 
{ May 19th 2009 at 12:01AM } 
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.

You guys haven't seen cosplay until you've seen Lindze Merritt's stuff. (Image search her name + "Darkstalkers" and your head might explode):

I have my shotgun ready just in case they turn out to be real.
Tonicboy @ May 19th 2009 6:17AM
It's a waste of ammo. They're easy enough to kill with a knife.

@ Tonicboy
Didn't you play Silent Hill 2? Yeah, come at the nurse with a knife...but Pyramid Head...he's unstoppable...
*shudders*

That nurse is hot.
Tonicboy @ May 19th 2009 6:14AM
Yeah but I was hoping for the gratuitous cleavage from the game version. Am I the only one who got turned on by the nurses in the game, instead of frightened by them?

"The word "disturbing" is not oven far..." wait "oven far"? That's interesting. How far is "oven far", I wonder?
JAH75157 @ May 19th 2009 9:11AM
yeah it's not oven i point out spelling errors, but this one is quite funny.
Linkario @ May 19th 2009 2:32PM
Oven far is about a furlong.
smcn @ May 19th 2009 2:54PM
A furlong? I'm sorry, can you tell me how much that is in Libraries of Congress?

awesome reference, Beavis
Copland @ May 19th 2009 5:47AM
I thought it was a twinkie, not a weiner :p

As a guy on the internet, I believe that this calls for a mandatory "I'd tap that" comment.
Slayer @ May 19th 2009 1:14AM
Indeed.
devilsei @ May 19th 2009 1:27AM
Heheh... she can shamble and stumble her way to my bed any day...
Regular Pants @ May 19th 2009 3:26AM
ThornedVenom, I shamefully have to agree. Although during said tapping I'd have to turn of the radio because that static/white noise would become incredibly obnoxious.
Regular Pants @ May 19th 2009 3:40AM
Sorry, I meant turn "off" the radio. Clearly a turn "of" the radio would either result in a change in sound quality or in a different selection of radio stations... which wouldn't really matter because it would still be that obnoxious yet nerve racking static. Again, my bad.

Unbelievably cool costumes. I'm thinking Red Pyramid and the Nurse lost where they parked?
(They drive a Datsun.)
Jet Cero @ May 19th 2009 5:48AM
OMG OMG OMG!!! I KNOW THESE TWO!!!! I WAS THERE AND THEY ARE MY FRIENDS!!!! HOLY SHIT!!! THEY ARE FROM ANIME CENTRAL IN CHICAGO FROM A WEEK AND A HALF AGO!!!! They are going to be so excited about this!!!
jc @ May 19th 2009 7:07AM
The word "disturbing" is not oven far removed from the word "cosplay."
That is some quality proofreading right there. I don't leave comments oven, but it just seemed right.

Cosplay news? Please don't turn into Kotaku.
The Dark Wayne @ May 19th 2009 9:47AM
i think snowman pyramid head is even more terrifying
Sidebuster @ May 19th 2009 10:09AM
I'm not gonna lie... Those nurses better not get caught frozen or they might come-to laying on the floor with a bag covered over their head and their legs up in the air wondering what happened.
Captain Planet @ May 19th 2009 11:09AM
Wow, they're like super emo kids except that they have actual talent.
Siggy @ May 19th 2009 11:29AM
That's the most terrifying handjob I've ever seen
mza49311 @ May 19th 2009 12:24PM
awesome cosplay, though a few more nurses would've been cool!
pumkin54 @ May 20th 2009 12:21AM
Those costumes are pretty kick ass, Pyramid Head moreso than the nurse. She doesn't seem very accurate. I don't remember the nurses' faces being like that, nor their bodies having all those veins. Were they like that in the movie? Awesome all the same.
