A fire still burns under Silent Hill, in the abandoned coal mines, and in the heart of a little girl now twisted by anger and her need for revenge.Īnd yet, Sharon finds herself called to Silent Hill. It’s a town sitting in limbo, punishing its population for their past actions.

It’s a town destroyed by the warped beliefs of the townspeople and their evil practices which they carried out under the guise of purification. Silent Hill is not a place you want to visit. Mother is God in the eyes of a child, and it seems God has abandoned the town of Silent Hill. Every month I will take a look at a different mother from the world of horror, explore their story, and look at how they fit into the broader representation of women in horror. Mothers are a staple feature in horror movies, and yet, their stories, motivations, representations, and relationships with their children are so varied and complex that we never feel like we’re watching the same story twice.

Welcome to Mother of Fears – a monthly column that will explore the various roles that mothers play within the horror genre.
