Enter the World of ‘Silent Hill’ With 360VR Videos [Halloween Treat]
The world of Silent Hill is strangely compelling and alluring. The Resident Evil universe feels gross and unpleasant while environments in Dead Space are cold and unwelcoming. But the foggy town that we’ve come to know over more than 15 years has a strange appeal to it that other survival horror universes fail to possess. I can’t put my finger on this phenomenon but I know that I’m 100% guilty of it. If offered the chance to venture into Silent Hill, I may have to say “yes”.
In lieu of that being an actual possibility, YouTuber VJ Ravenlight has created several 360VR videos that are a way for viewers to place themselves inside various locations from the Silent Hill games. There’s Neely’s bar, the Lakeside Amusement Park, Alessa’s classroom, the Heaven’s Night gentlemen’s club, and more. This is your chance to place yourself inside Silent Hill and feel like you’re a part of that phantasmagoric town. Well, if you have a VR set, of course.
You can click around in all the environments by letting the below video go through the playlist one video at a time or you can click around and search through the locations you like by sorting through this playlist.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
