Trivia EileenHead Eileen's head looking at Henry. In St. Jerome's Hospital, Henry may discover a giant manifestation of Eileen's head at the end of a long room. Its eyes follow Henry and twitch left and right, while her face doesn't move. It appears to float in the air as it does not have any neck. The head also makes sounds of heavy, occasionally even erotic breathing. Henry cannot examine or damage the head; however, if the head is tasered, the eyes flash. When Henry rescues Eileen, the head still remains in the room. Its eyes follow Henry and not Eileen, and Eileen does not comment on it. This may be a manifestation exclusive to Henry, symbolizing his voyeuristic observations of Eileen through the peephole. A major glitch in Building World (2nd time) allows the player to skip the four reminiscences quest. It requires putting Eileen near a wall, running into her, and then running quickly into an elevator, leaving her behind. After heading in the direction of the wheelchair room area, Eileen will come and follow Henry, having apparently walked through the fence.[3] There is a random and rare chance Eileen will sneeze.[4] Another glitch allows the player to put Eileen's weapon in the box, freeing up an inventory slot. To do this, the player must press right on the d-pad and X at the same time.[5] This is confirmed to work in the NTSC-U North American PlayStation 2 version and the PAL PC version - it is unknown if it works in the other versions. Multiple times in-game, Eileen will express her care for Henry. For instance, if he ceases to walk for a few moments (especially if he is breathing heavily), she may inquire, "Are you okay?" As well, if Henry is killed, Eileen will fall to her knees and reach her arm out towards Henry's body. NurseOutfit Eileen's nurse costume. An alternate costume is available for Eileen: the nurse uniform. In order to unlock it, the player must complete the game once. Then on a "Brand-new Fear" game, the player must obtain the "Escape" or "Mother" ending where Eileen survives the final battle. This unlocks the nurse uniform item which can be found on a chair in the living room of Room 303 (Eileen's apartment room) during the Apartment World, 2nd time. On the next "Brand-new Fear" game, the player must find the nurse uniform and keep Eileen alive during the final battle again (with the uniform in Henry's inventory as he defeats Walter). When starting the next "Brand-new Fear" game, the player will be prompted as to which Eileen costume they would like to use; select "Nurse". Eileen will not wear it until the Apartment World, 1st time. This costume also features breast jiggle physics. This mechanic also occurs with Cynthia Velasquez when her alternate costume is unlocked. Eileen is the first character in the main series who can help the player in battle. A "Mr. Galvin" is the manager of the store where Derek Copeland works, although it is unknown if he is related to Eileen. Eileen's room contains two references to Silent Hill 3. The first is a painting of squares found in the Gallery of Fine Arts which a shocked Heather Mason commented was worth $5000. The second is an orange skirt found in Boutique Marguerite.

Mary Shepherd-Sunderland Sign In to Save Original Biography Full Name: Mary Shepherd-Sunderland Gender: Female Age: 25 Occupation: Housewife Status: Deceased Affiliations: James Sunderland (husband) Behind The Scenes Debut: Silent Hill 2 Also In: Silent Hill 4: The Room (mentioned) Hunger (cameo) Silent Hill: Downpour (cameo) Silent Hill: Book of Memories (cameo) Silent Hill 2 (2024 video game) Voice Actor: Monica Taylor Horgan (original) Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (Silent Hill HD Collection, Book of Memories) Salóme Gunnarsdóttir (SH2 2024) Shizuka Itō (SH2 2024)[1] More This article is for the character. For the boss, see Mary (boss). You've given me so much and I haven't been able to return a single thing. That's why I want you to live for yourself now. Do what's best for you, James. James... You made me happy. Mary to James in her post-mortem letter

Mary Shepherd-Sunderland is the late wife of James Sunderland. The couple had vacationed in Silent Hill a few years prior to the events of Silent Hill 2. Mary was a kind, sweet young woman who spent the last moments of her life in emotional turmoil, distress and anguish after being stricken with a terminal disease. Biography James and Mary met at a house party held by a mutual friend, and their affection evolved from a blazing passion to a peaceful and stable relationship. Before Mary and James were married, James would listen to Mary playing the piano. Mary liked to play the piano and even though she wasn't very good at it, James still loved to hear her play. SH2 videotape Mary in James's videotape. Prior to the events of Silent Hill 2, Mary and James vacationed in Silent Hill. They stayed in the Lakeview Hotel, where James recorded a video tape of Mary in Room 312, although he accidentally forgot the video tape in the hotel and the couple left Silent Hill. Mary stated in the video tape that she loved the town and would love to go to Silent Hill again one day. Mary2 Mary's disease convinced her that she looked like a disgusting ugly monster. Not too long after their vacation, Mary fell ill with an unspecified incurable, terminal disease and was bedridden in a hospital. She was given a maximum of three years to live, which she was forced to spend in the hospital. The disease had altered her skin tone to a sickly shade of tan and promoted hair loss, dissolving any traces of physical beauty she once possessed. Her doctor predicted she would have less than three years left to live and told James that there was "no effective treatment for her condition" and they were unable to help her. Both Mary and James did not take her predicament well. In anger, Mary lashed out at those closest to her, especially James. James did not visit Mary in the hospital very frequently because the disease seemed to bring out tensions between the couple. Upon examining some liquor bottles in Heaven's Night, James states that he drinks "a fair bit", most likely due to missing Mary and the joy they once had. Mary suffered from suicidal depression, saying "It'd be easier if they'd just kill me," and expressing a wish to die. Mary's and James' wish of having children was also put to an end due to her disease.[1]

Mary5 Mary, bedridden. Nevertheless, Mary was able to find sanity in thoughts of Silent Hill, the last place where she was happy. She talked about the town with another patient, the orphan Laura, and the two bonded. Mary would often wait for James, and Laura would console her when he did not come; this is likely why Laura states that Mary was always waiting for James and is hostile towards him. One can also gather from Mary's violent mood swings and tendency to "str[ike] out at...especially...James" during this time, that she may have made resentful remarks about him to Laura. If things had worked out differently, Mary was willing to adopt Laura; in the "Leave" ending of the game, James leaves Silent Hill with Laura, possibly to fulfill Mary's wish. In the later days of her life, Mary wrote farewell letters to Laura and James and requested that her nurse, Rachel, give the notes to them after her death. Mary was permitted to return home for a short while, although it was only because her death was imminent and she was afraid James would not see her again before she died. At their home, James was tasked with being Mary's caretaker, which eventually became a burden. Tape3 James smothers Mary with a pillow. It was not the disease that killed Mary, but her husband James, who suffocated her in her bed with a pillow. James sees himself smothering Mary on the video tape that he forgot at the Lakeview Hotel years ago, and this is how he eventually remembers his homicide, having repressed the memory previously. While the Book of Lost Memories suggests the possibility of James taking Mary's body with him to Silent Hill in the trunk of his car, the novelization affirms it and follows the "In Water" ending. However, Masahiro Ito said that that he believed Mary's body was actually in the back seat.[2] When asked how James didn't notice her body in the backseat during the drive, Ito replied that James had repressed the memory of her murder.[3]

Silent Hill 2 MaryPhoto James starts his journey with two items: a Photo of Mary and Mary's Letter. Examining them frequently increases the odds of obtaining the Leave ending. Although physically dead, Mary lives on as James's delusion. Repressing the memory of murdering Mary, James believes that he received a letter from Mary beckoning him to come to Silent Hill, where she is waiting for him in their "special place". He uses this as the basis for a delusion that Mary is still alive. He is also convinced that Mary died three years ago, when in reality, she was still alive a few days ago.[4]

Her voice and likeness appear numerous times throughout James’s journey, for example:

When James first hears Mary's voice in his radio's static, she can be heard saying, "James, I'm here. Come to me. James. I'm waiting for you. Why did you kill me? James..."[5] Mary's dress is where James obtains his flashlight in the Wood Side Apartments. When James first approaches the gate to the third floor of the Lakeview Hotel, Mary's distant voice cries out "James!" from somewhere on the other side. Mary was also re-imagined as Maria, a creation of James’s will. Maria appears to be a sexier, more wild version of Mary, possibly what James thought Mary had lacked in some areas. Maria's scenario title, Born from a Wish, has some truth to it due to this. At one point in Born from a Wish, Maria can examine a teddy bear and she thinks that Laura would love it, showing that she has Mary's memories. Maria remembers what James did to Mary, but also remembers that underneath, he is a kind person. Occasionally, Maria reveals knowledge of Mary's past to James. Three of the monsters in the game have also been confirmed to be symbolic of Mary in some way. Pyramid Head represents James's subconscious desire for punishment for murdering Mary. The Flesh Lip and final boss are symbolic of Mary. Other monsters, such as the Lying Figure and Mandarin have been theorized to be related to Mary, but this has not been proven. Silent Hill 2 - Conversation Mary screams at James to leave her alone. Silent Hill 2 - Conversation In the Lakeview Hotel, near the end of the game, Mary's voice calls James to find her after James tells Laura that Mary is dead. James is led to a hallway in which the player hears a previous conversation that he and Mary had while she was still alive. In this conversation, James offers Mary flowers he has brought her. She immediately rejects them, lashing out at him and protesting that she is too disgusting and ugly to receive flowers. Shortly after this, she experiences another mood swing and begs James to forgive her, pleading for him to stay with her and assure her that she is not going to die. Endings Mary says various things in each ending to James, who has become aware of the crime he has committed. It is conceivable that her death three years ago is merely James's delusion. Silent Hill 2 - Maria Ending Mary in the Maria ending. Silent Hill 2 - Maria Ending In the "Maria" ending, Mary is sitting on a bed at the top of Lakeview Hotel. She is pleased to see James, but is displeased about him needing Maria. James tells her, "I wanted to see you... even an illusion of you." Mary then angrily shouts, "James, do you really think I could ever forgive you for what you did?!" Mary then turns into a monstrous version of herself. After James kills Mary again, he meets Maria, and he tells her that "wasn't Mary", believing her to be an illusion. Maria coughs while they leave the town, implying that Maria may have Mary's illness, that James hasn't learned anything from his experiences in Silent Hill, and that the events that brought him there may repeat themselves. In all of the other endings, the woman who James has to defeat will be Maria instead of Mary. JamesMary James's final conversation with Mary. In the "Leave" and "In Water" endings, James is seen having a final conversation with Mary. In this conversation, James is able to resolve things with Mary and move on with his life. Mary says, "James... please do something for me. Go on with your life." Mary then gives James the letter that he never received. This scene in the "In Water" ending is a bit different. Instead of Mary telling James to go on with his life, she tells him that his suffering is enough of a punishment for what he did to her. "You killed me and you're suffering for it. It's enough, James." Mary then violently coughs, and James holds her hand as she dies. He sits silently for a few moments and then carries Mary's body out of the room. James believes he can't live without Mary and he commits suicide with Mary's body in his car, driving himself into Toluca Lake, saying, "Now we can be together..." Rebirth Mary's body being rowed by James. In the "Rebirth" ending, James attempts to resurrect Mary, with unknown results, by rowing the boat he used to get to the hotel to the Church of the Rebirth on Toluca Lake Island. Other appearances Silent Hill: Book of Memories James Sunderlands BOM Mary in Silent Hill: Book of Memories. Mary appears in the joke ending of Silent Hill: Book of Memories. She and James are seen walking down the street, passing a girl who is coughing. James worries that Mary may become ill, but she assures him that she's fine. Silent Hill: Downpour Mary makes a cameo in the "Surprise" ending in Silent Hill: Downpour, strangely standing on the other side of the crowd from where James was. While this choice is open for interpretation, it still may have been a coincidence. Hunger Hunger Mary and James in Hunger. In the comic Hunger, when Douglas Brenneman speaks about Silent Hill, a younger Mary and James are seen enjoying their honeymoon in Silent Hill by Toluca Lake. Return to Silent Hill Mary will be adapted in the film Return to Silent Hill as Mary Crane and she will be portrayed by Hannah Emily Anderson. Creator's comment Her name is taken from the victim Mary Jane Kelly in the Jack the Ripper case, who was living with the suspect Joseph Barnett as detailed in case files regarding the murders. Quotes "Are you taping again? Come on! I don't know why, but I just love it here. It's so peaceful. You know what I heard? This whole area used to be a sacred place. I think I can see why. It's too bad we have to leave... Please promise you'll take me again, James." Silent Hill 2

"James, I'm here. Come to me. James. I'm waiting for you. Why did you kill me? James..." "James... where are you? I'm waiting... I'm waiting for you. Please come to me. Do you hate me? Is that why you won't come? James... James... Please hurry. Are you lost? I'm near. I'm waiting nearby, James. Please. I want to see you, James. Can't you hear me? James... Please, James... James... James... James..." "Flowers? I don't want any damn flowers! Just go home already! Look! I'm disgusting! I don't deserve flowers. Between the disease and the drugs, I look like a monster. Well, what are you looking at? Get the hell out of here! Leave me alone already! I'm no use to anyone. I'll be dead soon anyway. Maybe today, maybe tomorrow. It'd be easier if they'd just kill me. But I guess the hospital is making a nice profit off me, they want to keep me alive. Are you still here? I told you to go! Are you deaf?! Don't come back!" "James... Wait.... Please don't go! Stay with me! Don't leave alone! I didn't mean what I said... Please James! Tell me I'll be okay... Tell me I'm not going to die. Help me..." "James, I've been waiting." "Didn't you want to see me?" "That's not true, is it? You killed me..." "Don't make excuses, James. I know I was a burden on you. You must have hated me. That's why you got rid of me." "And that's why you needed this "Maria" person?" "James... do you really think I could ever forgive you for what you did!?" "I told you that I wanted to die, James. I wanted the pain to end." "James... if that were true, then why do you look so sad?" "You killed me and you're suffering for it. It's enough, James." "James... Please... please do something for me. Go on with your life." Mary's letter to James

"In my restless dreams, I see that town. Silent Hill. You promised you'd take me there again someday... But you never did. Well, I'm alone there now... In our 'special place'... Waiting for you... Waiting for you to come to see me. But you never do. And so I wait, wrapped in my cocoon of pain and loneliness." "I know I've done a terrible thing to you. Something you'll never forgive me for. I wish I could change that, but I can't." "I feel so pathetic and ugly laying here, waiting for you... Every day I stare up at the cracks in the ceiling and all I can think about is how unfair it all is..." "But I'm afraid, James. I'm afraid you don't really want me to come home." "Even though our life together had to end like this, I still wouldn't trade it for the world. We had some wonderful years together." "I can't tell you to remember me, but I can't bear for you to forget me." Mary's letter to Laura

"My dearest Laura, I'm leaving this letter with Rachel to give to you after I'm gone. I'm far away now. In a quiet, beautiful place. Please forgive me for not saying goodbye before I left." "Laura... I love you like my very own daughter. If things had worked out differently, I was hoping to adopt you. Happy 8th birthday, Laura. Your friend forever, Mary." Trivia ConAir2 Characters in Con Air. Both Mary and Maria are voiced by the same voice actor, alluding to their eerie similarity. Even James notes their similar voices when he meets Maria. Mary is voiced by Mary Elizabeth McGlynn in the HD Collection. McGlynn felt her voice was too deep to play Mary, but producers cast her anyway. There is a high chance Mary's outfit, along with Laura's, were inspired by two characters in the movie Con Air. It is never explicitly stated what disease Mary had or how she obtained it. It was known to cause lumps on her skin and hair loss. It has been speculated to be a form of cancer or leprosy. Guy Cihi believes it to be melanoma. Silent Hill has had a history of illness, as Brookhaven Hospital was built in response to epidemics. It is possible that it is the same disease. It is likely that Mary obtained her disease before or during her vacation in Silent Hill as she is shown coughing in Lakeview Hotel. One supernatural theory is that Silent Hill cursed her. Another theory is that she lingered beside Toluca Lake too long which may have had contaminated water or mist due to the apparent 67 people who died of illness and "sleep beneath the lake". James states that he and Mary once stared at the water of Toluca Lake for an entire day. If the "In Water" ending is canon, the Rosewater Memorial may serve as foreshadowing of Mary and James' fate (although Mary more than James because she has a disease). Some fans theorized that Mary was a patient at Brookhaven Hospital; however, Masahiro Ito confirmed that this is false.[2] Due to the connections to Rachel and Frank Sunderland, it is more likely that she stayed at St. Jerome's Hospital. When James discovers the radio, Mary's voice says, "James, I'm here. Come to me. James. I'm waiting for you. Why did you kill me? James..."[6] Audio of Mary screaming when James watches the video tape were removed from the final version for unknown reasons.[7] This could be due 🌫️ The complete chronology of Silent Hill 1-4

Silent Hill 3 — Heather destroys the god of the cult. 7. Silent Hill 4: The Room — Walter Sullivan tries to complete the ritual of the 21 Mysteries. All four games are connected by a common mythology of the city, cult and supernatural power of Silent Hill, but Silent Hill 1 → 3 form one main story, while Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 4 explore more personal nightmares and individual tragedies, remaining part of the same universe. If we talk specifically about the laura of Silent Hill games, then it all started long before the first part. Why did the city become like this? Initially, Silent Hill was an ordinary resort town built on land with strong spiritual power. It was used by local tribes for religious rituals. Later, epidemics, executions, murders, and many tragedies appeared in the city, which gradually distorted this force. What did Alessa do? The cult "Order" decided to resurrect their god and used a girl named Alessa Gillespie, who possessed supernatural abilities. During the ritual, Alessa suffered severe burns. To prevent God from being born, she divided her soul into two parts. Because of her unbearable suffering, nightmares began to materialize and affect the city itself. Why are there monsters there? Monsters are not just creatures. They are the embodiment of:

fears,

feelings of guilt,

injuries,

subconscious thoughts of a person. That's why different characters see different monsters. For example, Pyramid Head exists as a reflection of James' guilt in Silent Hill 2. Why is the city empty? In games, it's not always a real empty city. Heroes often end up in:

1. The usual Silent Hill. 2. Fog World. 3. Otherworld - a rusty, bloody nightmare where reality is changing. , In short

Silent Hill is a place with an ancient mystical power that has been distorted by tragedies and cult actions. After the events with Alessa, the city began to turn people's inner fears and feelings of guilt into real monsters and nightmarish worlds. Ent of the city of Silent Hill

Silent Hill is not just a city with monsters. He himself is one of the main mysteries of the series. Yes, briefly and to the point:

How Silent Hill (City measurements) works

Silent Hill is not one “ordinary” city, but several layers of reality that overlap each other. ---

🏘️ 1. The ordinary world

The city lives an ordinary life

There are people, cars, jobs, tourists

Most people don't notice anything strange at all

---

2. Fog World

The layer that the main character sees

There are almost no people

Thick fog, strange silence

Everything looks “empty”, but it's still a city. It's like a distorted perception of reality. ---

🩸 3. Otherworld

The most dangerous layer

Rust, blood, destruction

Monsters

Sirens and creepy sounds

This is the materialization of a person's fear, guilt, and injuries. ---

How does the city do it

Silent Hill:

reacts to the human psyche

“reads” fears, guilt, injuries

turns them into a physical reality

Each person has their own “nightmare filter”:

James → guilt and punishment

Heather → Alessa's cult and past

Harry → the search for his daughter and the chaos of the cult

---

Why don 't people nearby see the same thing

Because:

they may be in another layer. or are they not “connected” to his influence at all? or is the city not showing a nightmare for them? ---

, In one sentence

Silent Hill is a city that exists in several layers of reality and changes them depending on the human psyche, turning internal fears into physical ones. , Before the foundation of the city

Long before the arrival of the Europeans, this territory was considered sacred. The indigenous people called it a place where the world of the living and the world of spirits are very close to each other. They performed rituals here, but they did not worship evil — on the contrary, the place was considered a source of spiritual power. ---

, Founding of the city

Later, an ordinary American resort town appeared here on the shores of Toluca Lake. Over time, many tragedies have occurred in the city.:

epidemics;

disappearances of people;

The murders;

executions;

the activities of the religious cult "Order". All these events gradually "polluted
