Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: Moments In Horror Gaming That Made Us Pee A Little

While horror movies are something Matt and I obviously adore for a multitude of reasons, we would be fools not to take a moment and give some props to some of the great horror games that have come out in the last decade. While horror films are fun, they are passive experiences, which leads us to feel safe, no matter what is happening. A horror game, on the other hand, strips that safety away and places us INTO the moments of extreme horror, showing us just how we would react to such scenarios. It's a wholly encompassing way to experience a medium, especially one as visceral as horror.

Remy: Silent Hill 2 – Pyramid Head Rape

Recommended Videos

First thing I need to say – because of the second Silent Hill movie, a great deal of people misunderstand Pyramid Head. Pyramid Head is the psycho sexual guilt of the main character in Silent Hill 2, personified. He is repression, unconstrained madness, and desire. He is the darkest parts of our sexual fantasies, the places we rarely feed. He is not some protector or demon, or some other stupid theory people come up with. Having said that, our introduction to him in the second Silent Hill game is a scene where we see him “raping” a set of mannequin legs. To make the act even more deviant, we are watching this from inside a closet, peering through at this madness. I still think, for how it looks and what it represents, it is one of the creepiest gaming moments ever conceived.
