This Is The Most Unnerving Thing I’ve Seen This Week
This is the first time I’ve seen someone tackle Silent Hill: Downpour cosplay, and wow did they do a great job. I didn’t recognize it at first, but this is the sex doll monster — also known as the coolest enemy in the game. It’s the work of Mike Rollerson, a photographer whose nurse cosplay I featured in our Silent Hill Week event.
This real-world version is horrifying. I’m pretty sure it’s been forever burned into my delicate mind. Check her out after the jump, if you dare.
Update: Unsurprisingly, this took a small team to achieve what you see above (and below). In addition to Rollerson’s amazing photos, the prosthetics/gore were handled by Alexander Slander, Eddiehxc did the wig, and Aja Doll is responsible for the incredible cosplay costume/body makeup.
Aja shared some more details with me, “It took roughly about 7 hours of makeup application, the mask was adhered directly to my face, the blood effect was made from scratch and was extremely hot during application (thanks Alexander), the wig was actually 4 feet long before it was cut/styled and there was a cute little dog on the set who didn’t mind my torn face.” That’s a lot of work, but I’d say we can all agree it was well worth it.

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
