Character: There was boredom going around one day and I realized that I had all the makings of a Harry Mason costume... SO WHY NOT MAKE ONE?! Hehehe. I just threw the clothes on and took some pictures to see how it all looked together (with my fun toy gun). As you can see, from all the shots, I am in love with the fake gun. But yeah, I happened to have a vest and jacket that worked really, really well and I would love to get some shots of this in some Silent Hill-ish settings one day since apparently I have/had a thing for dressing up like the SH protagonists. We'll see!

Character: I love Heather. She rocks. Plus, she has an awesome name, hehehe. The outfit had little details I wanted to make sure I didn't overlook and I would love to wear this again with a group of SH characters. At Katsucon, the year I wore it, I had questions like: "Where's your radio?!" -- "OMG ARE YOU HEATHER?!" -- It was a lot of fun. :D Much <3 to Katie Bair for the wig! Since my hair is nothing like Heather's I knew I needed a wig. Only problem was that I have such thick hair (and it was so long) that it never fit under the wig perfectly! >_<

Character: Henry is the main doofus character in SH4 -- he's one of my favorite characters and I love him to death because he's such a duh sometimes. His outfit is simple and the axe = love. Now I just need to make Travis and Alex costumes and I'll have my SILENT HILL MAIN CHARACTER CIRCLE OF COSTUMES complete. Hehe.

Also, how could I resist the urge to make and carry around a ghetto!Eileen Barbie doll. IT'S LIKE A BIG, AWESOME ESCORT MISSION. XD

Character: Draelight and I spent a good number of hours playing through Silent Hill: Shattered Memories trying to get all the endings and find all the odd little details throughout the course of the game. When the beginning of '10 rolled around and we knew Katsucon was coming up, we thought these costumes would be a good fit -- especially since there were supposed to be other SH cosplayers at the con! I loved Lisa's new design so I went with her (I was debating Dahlia for a bit, but I already had the hair and such for Lisa ;D) and Draelight went with Harry's outfit (pre-Hospital visit where he gets his different duds). We had lots of fun taking pictures of these costumes, especially since there was still massive amounts of snow everywhere, just like in the game! Hehe.

Character: I found this jacket at a thrift store sort of on a whim. I thought of James instantly when I saw it, of course, and thought it actually resembled the jacket in the game more than the official Konami replica of it did. The costume was comfy and plain enough that I could celebrate Halloween in costume at school without looking all done up and crazy. ;D The best part was that people actually knew who I was and I got a some, "WHERE'S MARY?" and my favorite: "WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR PILLOW?"

Character: So I've always had this idea in my head. And it was one I never really could see myself being able to pull off. Since James is looking for his wife Mary in Silent Hill, but comes across Maria -- who is like a twisted version of Mary -- he's kind of stuck between the two (and there's a lot more to it than that, but I don't want to give anything away ;D). But I figured I give it a try and this is how it turned out. I'm really proud of it! There are some things I want to fix (different stockings for each side, the wig, the makeup, etc.) -- but I still love it to death. I am so very happy I tried it out and it didn't just sit as an idea in my head. And much love to Trav for being my Pyramid Head! And also for the first picture on the left! :D

Character: Maria is one of the greatest video game characters ever, especially her "backstory" and how she "showed up" in Silent Hill. ;) And, come on, the way she messes with James' mind is priceless. The game had recently been released when I wore this for the first time, so I don't know how many people knew what it was, but whatever, I was on a Silent Hill 2 high (and pretty much always will be!). I hope to wear this again one day, but it's been so long since I have that I don't even know if it would fit anymore. Time to go on a quest into the costume boxes and find it! Hopefully there will be more pictures of it here one day. And maybe with a wig that actually stays on my head!

Character: This was fun. XD We took the old, cardboard, awesomely-ghetto PH head from Halloween 2002 and spruced it up a tiny bit, along with the apron-thing -- then we made a new great knife and PH was done. And I just bloodied up a white outift, shoes and hat -- then with mom's help (she dressed as Dahlia!) gauzed my head up. After that there was drawing some veins on my chest/neck, stockings and arms and then I grabbed a pipe and there you go! The best part was that some of the kids that came around were all "OMG YEAY SILENT HILL U GUYZ!!111!" So I was happy. I've always loved the nurses and not being able to see was awesome. MUAH~

Character: Yes, I know. It's basically another Henry costume~ hehe -- if you know the backstory, then you know about this costume. It's something that's never really shown in the game, so I got to put his numbers whereever I felt like it. I was going to put them on his forehead (Wisdom and all!) -- but for Henry-hair my bangs always hang in my face and they would've kept getting caught in the goop. XD So I put it in the opening of the shirt, on the neck. I would absolutely love doing this costume again, it's been years since I did it the first time but SH4 never gets enough love! XD I also didn't get enough super-creepy pictures in it, since you know, it was Halloween and I was handing out candy to the childrens and all. ONE DAY!
