Dit jaar kwamen er twee nieuwe Silent Hill games uit. Althans één nieuwe met de naam Downpour, en de HD Collection. Wat de serie altijd al gekenmerkt heeft zijn de meest gestoorde en bizarre monsters, en daarom heeft de website Topless Robot nu deze lijst gemaakt met de twaalf meest engste.

12) Pyramid Head

Let's get everyone's favorite out of the way first: Pyramid Head has become the unofficial mascot for the series, featured in nearly every recent release and the divisive feature film. He's basically a meme now, a joke, which is unfortunate: it's hard to find the fear in something that make a cameo in a DS sports game. But going back a decade to Silent Hill 2, when no one even knew what his name was (the game credits him as "Red Pyramid"), this enormous helmeted THING was absolutely terrifying. His first appearance is behind a barred wall, unmoving, simply standing and watching you. That's creepy. But that's nothing compared to the next time you see it, in which it is busy "raping" two of the other enemies before casually killing them and then shuffling off as if in agony. Like Nemesis from the Resident Evil 2, he was unstoppable, and whenever he appeared you had to RUN LIKE HELL.

His true significance is revealed late in Silent Hill 2, and he would go on to be pointlessly redesigned for American effort Silent Hill Homecoming and the aforementioned film (though he earns his stripes there with a spectacularly gruesome scene in which he tears the skin off a living girl and throws it at the people fleeing from him).
