Silent Hill Community • View topic - Borley Haunted Mansion

This little area is one of my favorite places in the whole SH franchise. It's creepy and has that cool "game show" feeling like in the radio game to open the box in SH2. Is there any way, like by cheats, to get more angles on stuff? I love the room with the doll-guy in the chair, he looks so deliciously scary, I always wished I could get a better look at him. The first time I played it I was really scared he'd hop out of the chair and chase me around, even though that wouldn't be like Silent Hill at all.

And which of those guys do you think is Danny?

I heard "camera-hack" can help

hahaha yah that dude in the chair! And what happens while your looking at the dude in the chair is what really got me.

I almost jumped out of my skin at that part. eesh O_o

OMG first time I played Sh3, 12 am, lights out, no one was awake, alone in teh freaking dark, not expecting anything...
then ...

Almost had a heart attack seriously.

I LOVE THE BORLEY MANSION TOO! *sniff* I thought I was the only one... I'd always assumed that Danny was the guy who drops down from the ceiling; since the guy in the chair seems to be a puppet. I could be wrong on this...

PS Did you know that Borley Mansion was named for England's Borley Rectory? The proof is in the fact that a picture of the old rectory is displayed on the sign for the mansion! Anyway, I'm really glad to see that other Silent Hill fans like the subtle nuances of the game like me.

Well, nothing really connects with Danny on what's happening in Silent Hill unless he gets extra attention if Konami plays around his story in the future.

... or maybe not, he's probably an unimportant character/victim (if he is though a real victim).

I say Danny was made out of wax

The narrator's dialogue in that mansion was creepy! What exactly did he say again? "he's looking for his way to Heaven. Perhaps you can help him out?" or some weird thing like that.

I got really frustrated at the red light part. The way the camera angle hits when you hit that first turn, I would always keep going straight, and the camera would hit an angle so I think the hallway I came from was straight, then I'd run right into death. The sad thing is I did it about 5 times in a row! Arrrgh the mansion isn't scary anymore I had to run through it so much :lol:

I think random, unnamed victims are great and really add to the mystique of a game or story. Just adds a whole new level of mystery to it when you have someone who died and you know nothing about them other than the fact that they're hanging dead in front of you. I just love things in horror that leave the rest to your imagination.

Oooh, I love the mansion. At first I thought it was stupid but as I went further through the level the coolness just took me over.

The question the narrator asks is "Do you know the way to heaven?" or very close to that. I wasn't sure what he was talking about, though.

A theme I noticed in the game is of dead/psychotic men kind of hitting on Heather, which was a cool level to it all but I couldn't figure out why. For example, there's Stanley in the hospital, then the dude who calls her to sing happy birthday, then Danny in the haunted mansion. The real male characters in the game we meet are almost all father figures, though. (Douglas acts loosely as Heather's guardian, Leonard is Claudia's old man, Vincent is a "father" in the church). But...what does it all mean?

Maybe Heather, being the [spoiler]reincarnation of Alessa/Cheryl[/spoiler] is just a magnet of flagitiousness and negativity. She acts as a beacon to those depraved, execrable individuals with no where else to go, like a moth to light. Maybe...

PS You know what would've been great? If they'd gotten Christopher Walken to be the narrator. Heh heh.

nuuuu i hated that bit!
I remember walkin in to the place and threw the remote control to my sister...
silent hill + haunted house + bloody bunnies everywhere = me panting me shants.
and that pure mad light that chased heather around.

LOL "Panting me shants"? I'm gonna use that expression from now on, is that okay? I love it!

panting your shants has to be thee pure best expression ever,
it has to be said wi a scottish accent but, the effect might get lost know? aahaa
but aye use it! spread the word

I'm panting me shants that you gave me your blessing. Hootman! So ?bhach!

Even to this day, after beating the game multiple times, I still hate Borley Haunted Mansion. Dx

The beginning is okay, but I hate part when you go through the wrong exit.

the guy who falls hanging upside down is a classic mince yer pants moment i done that last night... not shit ma pants but walked into the upside down hanging chap but i managed to hold it all in ^_^

amazingly i never got a fright when that happened i friggin jumped out my chair when the guy wi the cheesy scary voice went blah blah blah! cannie mind what he said but u know

That red light on the Extreme modes is a bitch. How the hell can a light kill somebody? I ask you.

maybe it's more than a red light... maybe it was hundreds of pygmies chasing you. :lol:
