Silent Hill
Misty horror town
Silent Hill is a survival horror video game series and media franchise, known for psychological terror and disturbing imagery.
The games take place in or around a fog-shrouded town where characters confront manifestations of guilt, trauma, and repressed memory.
The series influenced the horror genre broadly: The movie had real Silent Hill vibes—all dread and symbolism.
