The Pyramid Head skin is currently one of the more talked about and appreciated aspects of the game, and this particular cosplay truly delivers.
Cosplayer Johnny Goodwill, known assunlightofastoraon Instagram, posted theirextremely accurate cosplay, stating that it took a very long time to make something that (intentionally) looked pretty bad. Goodwill is seen wearing James' staple green jacket, black jeans, and a custom Pyramid Head that looks as if it were constructed from pizza boxes straight from the game.
Fans were quick to flock to the comments, saying how amazing he looked and reminding users that Pizza Box Pyramid Head truly is an iconic member of theSilent Hillfranchise.
While Goodwill’s cosplay is making the rounds,Pizza Box Pyramid Head is nothing new to theSilent Hillfandom. There are posts of cosplays dating back years, with some of the more popular memes dating back to 2022, such as thisRedditpost by an unknown user. The comments are usually filled with pizza puns and jokes that tie back to the character of Eddie from the game, saying this is what would happen if he was the main character instead of James.Spectre-of-Dwightmade the referential joke of, “You’re not friends with that Red Pepperoni thing, are you?” in a brilliant use of a callback.
New Silent Hill 2 Players, Don’t Be Fooled By Pyramid Head
The Silent Hill 2 remake will inevitably bring new fans to the series, inevitably causing more confusion about Pyramid Head’s role as a series mascot.
As players can sport the Pizza Box Pyramid Head in-game, there has been a resurgence of love for the meme and the design.The use of the pizza box in-game is purely cosmeticand does not affect gameplay. Its inclusion shows that game developers are listening to what fans like. However, if players choose to wear this skin, it does appear in the cut scenes, which adds another level to the meme, as it adds more of the absurdity that the community loves and what makes Silent Hill the iconic franchise it is today.
Silent Hill 2Cosplay Doesn’t Have To Be Scary
Having Fun In Horror Should Be The Norm
WhileSilent Hill 2certainly is a horror game,cosplaying does not need to be a gory nightmare of a time. Pizza Box Pyramid Head is the perfect example of horror without being horrific and allows fans to have fun with the work. As a horror cosplayer myself, working within the confines of the horror community is only as scary as the creator wishes to make it. Regarding theSilent Hill 2 Remake,there are plenty of characters for players to choose from that don’t have to be scary at all.
Maria is a great character for a less terrifying cosplay, and her new character design is simple enough to allow newer cosplayers into the fandom without straining their bank accounts or resources.Cosplayers also have the option of going in on Robbie the Rabbit, the pink rabbit character who certainly looks more friendly than fearful. James himself is also a great option for any cosplayer looking to get started in the fandom without wanting to don a monster mask or a pizza box.
