Silent Hill 2 Vinyl and Pins from Mondo Available March 6th!

3/4/2019

1 Comment

Mondo have announced today that the upcoming release of Silent Hill 2 on vinyl will be released March 6th.

Along with this Mondo will be releasing a Robbie the Rabbit pin and Pyramid Head pin. The vinly artwork has been created by Sara Deck and the music remastered by James Plotkin.

'Mondo, in conjunction with Konami, is proud to present the premiere vinyl pressing of the soundtrack to the Playstation 2 horror masterpiece: SILENT HILL 2.

SILENT HILL 2 is psychological horror by way of David Lynch, evoking the more surreal and supernatural elements of TWIN PEAKS while telling the story of one man's journey into a hell of his own creation. Like the geographical differences between the maps of the two games, musically SILENT HILL 2 feels like somewhere you've been before but mysteriously different and unique. It's haunting and beautiful at one moment, tense and spine-tingling the next. If SILENT HILL 1 is a frightful jump scare, SILENT HILL 2 will haunt you in your dreams for years to come.

Featuring all new artwork by Sara Deck. Remastered by James Plotkin and pressed on 2X 180 Gram Colored vinyl and also available on 180 Gram Black vinyl.'

Along with the SH2 vinyl, Mondo are also releasing two pins created by Sam Wolfe Connelly (who also designed the original Silent Hill vinyl artwork) which feature Robbie the Rabbit and Pyramid Head.

'Robbie the Rabbit (1.5" in height) and Pyramid Head Thing (1.5" in height). Both on a 2"x3" Backing.'

Both the vinyl and pins are due to ship late March 2019 and will be available 12 Noon March 6th CT Time (6pm UK time). The vinyl will be $35 and the pins $10 each.

As excited as I am for this release i'm a little disappointed to see that the design of the Nurse appears to be from Homecoming. Will you be grabbing anything from the new releases?

Creating Silent Hill, an interview with Masahiro Ito

2/2/2016

2 Comments

Masahiro Ito was the creature and background designer for the first three Silent Hill games as well as art director for Silent Hill 2 and 3.

An original member of Team Silent, Ito has continued to contributed to the Silent Hill Universe even after he finished working on the games. This includes cover art for the Silent Hill Zero soundtrack along with the 'White Hunter' comic that was included. Cover art for the Japanese release of Silent Hill Downpour and Homecoming (although Homecoming's release was later cancelled). As well as this Ito has also designed a variant cover for issue 3 of the Dying Inside comics and also designed the Japanese exclusive comics Double Under Dusk and Cage of Cradle.

I managed to grab a very brief interview with Mr Ito during his busy schedule to ask a few questions with regards to Silent Hill and what he has planned for the future. Due to Ito being a very busy man the interview was quick but highly appreciated.

Out of the games that you have worked on, which game stands out the most for you and why?

It is a game when I have worked on in SCE from 2008 to 2010, but was not released. It's a Russian retro Sci-Fi horror action game.

Where do you find inspiration for your art and designs?

All of things what I have seen.

Did you want to work within the Horror genre before Silent Hill came along?

No, I didn't.

Would you like to work on another Silent Hill game in the future?

If I am given such a offer, I will accept it.

What was the first creature for Silent Hill that you designed?

It was "child monster" (Grey child) in North America version. If I remember correctly.

When designing the monsters for Silent Hill, was you given an idea to work from or did you come up with designs yourself?

I Came up with designs myself but a few of the monsters in first Silent Hill, Keiichiro Toyama, he requested me to design those monsters, which he imaged, like "child" and "incubus".
I didn't design all of the monsters in the first Silent Hill, in the first place. Naoko Sato and Keiichiro Toyama, they designed monsters in it too.

You have also worked on Silent Hill comics Double Under Dusk and Cage of Cradle. Would you like to work on another Silent Hill comic in the future?

If I am given such a offer, I will accept it.

Your book The 2nd Wild Pig was released in Japan, do you ever plan on releasing it outside of Japan? and do you think you will release another book in the future?

Yes, I have some plans like that.

Can you reveal any information about the upcoming statues that will be released by Gecco?

The statue will reveal the very first concept for what is actually under the RPT's helmet! About this, it's not to be able to remove his helmet but to get a glimpse of 'under the helmet' because removing his helmet is like a wet blanket.

Masahiro Ito reveals additional details about Gecco's upcoming Red Pyramid Thing Statue

12/13/2015

1 Comment

In April Gecco revealed that two new Silent Hill 2 statues were on the way and would be released in 2016.

It was revealed that the first statue would once again be of the Red Pyramid Thing and this time would include the spear. The other statue is still being kept secret.

Fortunately I has a brief chat with Masahiro Ito himself through the Silent Hill Fans group on Facebook and I asked him a couple of questions about the upcoming releases.

Although only small bits of information was shared, it's exciting news either way. The first thing he revealed was that the spear will be much larger than what is seen in the games. The second is that this statue will reveal the very first concept for what is actually under the RPT's helmet!

I am highly curious to know what is under his helmet but at the same time the element of mystery is what adds to the overall sinister look he gives off. As we have seen with previous releases he appears to have a large, billowing, fleshy mass that hangs just below his helmet. As to what will be revealed when the statues are finally showcased we will just have to wait and see.

Are you curious to know what is under that huge helmet of his?
