Silent Hill is an unsettling series across the board, there’s no denying that – and the silhouette of its fan-favourite Pyramid Head is enough to induce nightmares.
Now we know more about how this monstrous humanoid came to be, at least in terms of his conception – and it turns out he was inspired by background characters from the 1995 film Braveheart.
Sharing this titbit on Twitter, Silent Hill 2 director Masahiro Ito revealed the film’s executioners that pop up when Mel Gibson’s William Wallace is being hung, drawn and quartered, were the “inspiration for the background of Pyramid Head from [Silent Hill 2]”.
