I have felt that Silent Hill is analogous to a person suffering from mental illness. Things seem normal but suddenly without warning something let's the darkness back in.
@@navylaks2 as far as I know it wasn't her true self it was just reincarnation of herself stuck in the otherworld alessa did that on purpose to assist harry on his journey in silent hill
The hospital in Silent Hill seem like the creepiest place there...It’s scary to think if they were doing rituals with injured patients...Nice small set up to the 4th one...
I love how many truths you find out in the hospital. I haven't always had knowledge about Silent Hill and have always wanted to experience the first game. When I got to I fell even more in love with this series. These videos help look at everything individually and why they are important to the game as a whole. Not everyone has the same outlook on the games. But it helps piece the story together for those who wouldn't have knowledge of some of the religious symbolism certain things have. If I didn't take art history I wouldn't have any knowledge of religious history.
Hey Muse! I discovered your channel recently and I could not stop watching your Silent Hill content, I watched almost every symbolism episodes. It is so good to know that other people are also fascinated for this series which is so deep and amazing. I am still trying to fit Silent Hill's content is some of my college works. Unfortunately I cannot support you, I am still a poor college student, but I share all of your content with my friends whose are also likes the series, thank you for your posts!
for those who don't know, since it isn't explained, hat makers went mad because they worked with mercury when making hats, which is quite toxic in more than minuscule amounts.
I discovered your channel a few months ago when I replayed the games and binged all your videos. Was sad when I watched them all. Glad to see you're still making videos on this amazing series.
I was a bit too young to decipher all of the meanings in the first Silent Hill. But I loved the game and played it several times over. The hospital and ending areas of the game when you exit the sewer were the most terrifying parts of the game. Every playthrough.
Ya know, looking back on the third game, that is a bit of a let down. I don't know why they would chose Brookhaven over Alchemilla for Heather's return to Silent Hill. For technical. reasons I get it was because the hospital was modeled and rendered from the second game but there's different rooms as well as a different alternate world from James's regardless. Alchemilla was a very influential place if they chose that route.
@@barmbailey6934 agreed, I'm pretty sure the reasons were mostly technical as you said. Still, Alchemilla was such an iconic location, it sucks we didn't get to explore it as Heather.
@@TheSantiago3000 Agreed ,reasons were technical but it makes zero sense especially that part where we can see that tape with lisa garland. Shame they didnt remade alchemilla and that part of town . Still an excellent horror game
@@barmbailey6934 sh3 should be a let down to any true fan of sh1,silent hill orgins shouldve been where heather was placed during sh3 not where james sunderland went.
I always see the monsters as things stuck in transition, halfborn, malformed, aborted. Samael pushing his way through the Portal of flesh drinking the blood sacrifices of the summoning ritual.
The vines covering the gate to Alessa's room are kind of a plot hole, as Dahlia (and possibly Kaufman) were definitely there recently. Dahlia came to the hospital to destroy the aglaophotis that Kaufman had in his office and take Alessa.
Just finished my streaming series of this game and it's really cool to watch videos like this and learn more about the lore and meanings behind things. I admittedly was confused by the story a bit but I'm starting to understand it better now. Creepy stuff..
You should also make a video on the symbolism behind the Hell gas station (which is technically called Shell after the real life gas station chain but made to look like it's called Hell) in the first SH game near Balkan Church
I've still never have gotten the true end of silent Hill 1. In both of my runs of the game I've fucked up the requirements twice and only found out when the final boss was the bad end version.
I've been trying to study Japanese for a while. I was playing the game with my friend (he was doing most of the playing while I helped solve things - I have cerebral palsy so tank controls are just not possible for me), and when the 4 appeared I started laughing maniacally. I explained why Japan has/had (I've heard its become an outdated practice) this habit of skipping the 4th floor in elevators and such. And he was like "so what you're saying is we're going to hell." 🤣🤣
I grew up across the street from an abandoned school and that place was super haunted. At night i could see lights passing by every window which was impossible because the class rooms where divided by walls like normal class rooms and also constant voices talking very loudly but the worst was the basement where only me and 7 other friends found strength in numbers and foolishly ventured down with what weapons we could gather as 11yo kids like hammers, kitchen knives and baseball bats stuff like that. We grabbed each other's shirts with our free hand while the bravest of us was up front with a flashlight while the last in line used a bic lighter. So we are getting deep in to the pitch black boiler room / basement whatever and its quiet but then something runs past us stomping loud and hard as it ran. All we could do was run for the crack of light the leaked out of the exit. We all made it but to this day i still wonder wtf that was down there. I didn't mean for this to turn into a childhood story but it just feels right with this video.
So here's a thought. Do the guns some of the nurses in Silent Hill 3 carry have some significance or was it just just a means to add more fear to the player? I'd love to see what you can come up with if you make a video on the nurses revolvers.
Why is everyone so confused? When the 1st Event caused by Dhalia and allessa caused Samael's Darkness to swallow silent hill, the hospital staff were driven to either fight the monsters they saw in their heads or like kaufman consider suicide. So it makes sense that those that succumb to samael entering the real world through their flesh would end up reanimate or possessed still with their gun at hand.
The hospital is my favorite Silent Hill location, honestly. It's always just so creepy.
Even before it turns to the Other world
@J. O. yeesss!! That made my heart jolt when I first played it...
@ルイRui its the psx graphics that make it so scary

Alchemilla Hospital will always make me remember Lisa😢
her death scene hit me hard right on the feels
@Javelin Melody good luck in this journey of yours.
@@ScoutJoe
But was that really her or simply Alessas manifistation of the Real Lisa Garland?
@@navylaks2 as far as I know it wasn't her true self it was just reincarnation of herself stuck in the otherworld alessa did that on purpose to assist harry on his journey in silent hill
Javelin Melody Fuckin what? 😂😂😂😂
It's so great having Silent Hill videos in 2019

Fun fact : In my country the lady's mantle plant is called "the cow's cheese", mainly because it is often used for feeding cattle.

My husband has never played a Silent Hill game and likes to learn from your videos the true story of it. Great Job!
He should play it. specialy at night.
@BMO He has never been good at puzzle games. He likes games like Fall Put 3 & 4 or Foor Ball
@@amazingasmr4434 Honestly, there's no shame in using a walkthrough if a puzzle is giving one trouble. Videos don't do this series justice.
Kelly Ste Marie he can find solutions of puzzle on internet.
@@desertmoonlee6631 He would need to for every puzzle. He is 54.

The sewer got me as a kid,very scary stuff.
Such a bummer that in SH3 you don't get to go there.
Agreed

got recommended your videos when I was binge watching That Chapter, JCS, and that Rob Gavagan dude a couple days back. Liked, Subbed, and Belled.
When I saw that 4th button appear out of nowhere, I said to myself "Hooo boy, here we go"
Wow this video was already awesome but the way it ended was just beautiful! Thank you
You forgot about the slate on the 2nd floor that appears blank, but then contains writing once you reach Nowhere
Love u TGM. Thank you for breathing life into my favorite dead series♡♡♡
That beginning song sounding like it was made in garage band
I always see the monsters as things stuck in transition, halfborn, malformed, aborted. Samael pushing his way through the Portal of flesh drinking the blood sacrifices of the summoning ritual.
The museeee! Love ya. Great work again
The work you have done is beyond flawless,this Channel is a fucking masterpiece Thank you
The vines covering the gate to Alessa's room are kind of a plot hole, as Dahlia (and possibly Kaufman) were definitely there recently. Dahlia came to the hospital to destroy the aglaophotis that Kaufman had in his office and take Alessa.
Dahlia Gillespie failed to realize that Kauffman had more hidden elsewhere.

Pretty good. I like this channel so much. 😁
You have a voice perfect for storytelling!!!
Why, why, three-times-why am I discovering this only now?
This playlist about SH is amazing.
Good explaination, the hospital is one of the creepiest area in the game . I haven't played other SH besides SH Origins and SH The Room .
Finally another silent hill symbolism!
I grew up across the street from an abandoned school and that place was super haunted. At night i could see lights passing by every window which was impossible because the class rooms where divided by walls like normal class rooms and also constant voices talking very loudly but the worst was the basement where only me and 7 other friends found strength in numbers and foolishly ventured down with what weapons we could gather as 11yo kids like hammers, kitchen knives and baseball bats stuff like that. We grabbed each other's shirts with our free hand while the bravest of us was up front with a flashlight while the last in line used a bic lighter.

All we could do was run for the crack of light the leaked out of the exit. We all made it but to this day i still wonder wtf that was down there. I didn't mean for this to turn into a childhood story but it just feels right with this video.
great vid, hopefully you will do kauffman next!
I've been in love with Lisa Garland for more than 20 years.
Its just crazy how tragic alessas life has been
Number 4 is unlucky because it’s pronounced the same as ‘agony’.
Love your vids :)
I’ve played too much Silent Hill 💖✌🏻
obviously Alchemilla stands for Alchemy
Whats the name of these relaxing song played on the ending of the video, when u talk about the book ?
Love it!
What's the name of the track that plays when you start talking about alchemilla (not the channel's intro)?
Is the nice voice behind the videos the one person made these great video and chanel or just the reader?
I hope, if SH remake is a real project, doctors and nurses will screams for help.
It's Hawaiian punch!
Why does Alessa look like an adult instead of a child?
Which is the music played on The beginning ?
Oh yes
Is there significance with 302 and silent hill is 302 an ill omen I wonder
Can you change the color of the fog in this game
So here's a thought. Do the guns some of the nurses in Silent Hill 3 carry have some significance or was it just just a means to add more fear to the player? I'd love to see what you can come up with if you make a video on the nurses revolvers.
I think its meant that when the first "Event" took the hospital some of the staff tried to fight off the monsters and some were driven to suicide.
@@Novasky2007 are you serious... do you think sh monsters are real? lmao
The monsters are stuck between worlds growing out of the victims flesh like parasites because of the summoing ritual being incomplete.
@@Novasky2007 uh what
Why is everyone so confused? When the 1st Event caused by Dhalia and allessa caused Samael's Darkness to swallow silent hill, the hospital staff were driven to either fight the monsters they saw in their heads or like kaufman consider suicide.

Can you bring back the Kingdom Hearts series? 😇 Please
here after I got a bad ending😢😢
U killed alesss and didnt save michael koffmsn
💜
Oh come on, just give us the name of the tracks in the video! Or, like, an artist or something! ;D
The song is in the description.
@@thegamingmuse and the music on the skeletons in the rain part? Im crazy for it
