'Probably' everything that Silent Hill ripped off

"The fear of blood tends to create fear for the flesh."

To this day, I have no fucking idea what that means, but awesome quote nevertheless.

Revelation

Awful film.  Truly terrible.

The Missionary

Claudia Wolf's monster form is revealed after she touches the Seal Of Metatron.
Bitch is nothing like boss of same name in Silent Hill 3.
Instead, she's two Cenobites.

Chatterer (mouth) and CD (circular saws)


Mannequin vs Mama - The Arcade


When head opens up.

Core vs Split Worm - debuted in Silent Hill 3


Delusion (unofficial name) vs Smiley


Feature presentation was released on 26 October 2012 and the latter (which blatantly ripped off Scream and Candyman), was released on 12 October 2012.

Homecoming

Now we're cooking.

Hospital opening is like Jacob's Ladder.
No surprise really, as series has had a long-running love affair with Adrian Lyne's classic.

But that's just a front.

Alex observes unknowns being tortured.


Hostel

Paxton sees the same shit as he's dragged away to a dingy room.


And it doesn't stop there.

Margaret Holloway vs The Dutch Businessman

Both use a power drill to inflict pain on Alex and Josh's leg respectively.


Mixing it up.

Switchblade Romance

Curtis Ackers vs Marie


Saw III

Lillian Shepherd on makeshift crucifix vs Timothy Young on The Rack


Bestiary

Prepare for shocks... and surprises.

Needler vs Dr. Decker - Nightbreed


Asphyxia vs Ouroboros - Strider (1989)


Lurker vs Dead/Alive issue 4 - March 2006


Whoa!

Paint It Black - February 2005

Feral vs Skinned mutt


But I can trump that bullshit.

Mutated Licker - Resident Evil (2002)
Amnion

First form

Head and neck vs The Maledict - Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil


You see it too, right?

Body and legs vs Maman sculpture - Louise Borgeois


Second form vs Osmund Saddler - Resident Evil 4


Personal best

Ending on a maximum high.

Device - The Room vs Gravity Drive - Event Horizon


Colin - Silent Hill (2006) vs Nosferatu - Resident Evil Code: Veronica


The Arcade

Worm vs Dying Inside issue 5 - June 2004


Back with Paint It Black.

Phantom vs Monster


This is how Dying Inside literally ends.

Lauryn vs The Bride - Boris Vallejo (1981)


I don't give a fuck what anybody says, Aadi Salman knew exactly what he was doing.

Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Spring Slaughter - 1994

Three-part story Razing Hell was written by Lana Wachowski (at the time Larry), with Mark Pacella providing artwork.

Ignoring Stolen Time (I) and The Penitent (III), it's all about No One Ever Dies In Hell.

Helen and Lee are attacked by a Guardian.
Hellraiser
Design is faithful to made-for-film character Derelict, who transforms into a skeletal dragon at the end.
Finally, something really, REALLY weird.

In the ensuing mayhem, creature adopts a new look, 'apparently' forming the basis for Silent Hill's Samael.


The whiff of Baphomet lingers, but only monster designers Naoko Sato and Masahiro Ito know the truth.
