Some of this stuff makes me wonder if they had more water-themed elements in the original design of the game (it is a lake-side resort, after all).
funny how you say that since the creator of silent hill went on to make Siren, which had a tiny bit of a marine theme to it iirc.
@@RandomAtribute20k I think it's reasonable then.
Mantarays are tropic ocean-sea creatures and SH doesn't fit this type of setting which was already established early on. Also the town isn't developed in such a way to have a luxury to own a aquatic centre or seapool museum etc. The only logical explanation is that this is a leftover file from another project, probably a scraped one since I cant find any other Konami game that would fit this model. There were tons of cancelled sea related PS1 games back in a day, media say for not known reasons but it's quite obvious and that the tech from back in a day couldn't handle so much details at once. Even the released aquatic games lack tons of details and look bland.
There was supposed to be a part where Harry would have to use a boat to reach the lighthouse area. Maybe the mantas were supposed to come out of the water to attack you while you were riding the boat?
I would bet the manta rays would have been used in the sewer areas and they would jump at Harry as he was walking over the little bridges.
This video is like opening lost Christmas presents.
Based.
Yeah, that’s one way of putting it. I like to think of it as diving head first into your worst nightmares from your childhood that have been long since forgotten.
That FRG (Frog) thing would have been really horrendous to see in the middle of the dark, back in the day xD
I agree! Imagine them in the sewers!
Makes me wonder if they had intended an "other world variant" of the Romper enemy, almost looks like as if it was to tackle and pin you just like the Romper.
@@theblocksays That would’ve been really cool. Honestly, I always thought the romper was one of the least scary enemies in the game. I know it can do a lot of damage, so they can be pretty frustrating to fight, but I was never afraid of them. Their in-game model just wasn’t scary to me. They look and act like apes. That’s not very scary IMO, especially compared to other monsters. But believe me, if they had a variant of the romper that looked like THAT, I would be terrified.
so refreshing not to have "heeey guys what's up this is buttscoop69 and today we're going to be looking at some UNUSED MONSTERS FROM SILENT HILL"
Really you just want a video version of a wiki page tbh.
Two years later and I can still hear this comment
SOMEONE TAKE THE NAME BUTTSCOOP69 BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE DOES! :S
what is up the youtubes before we get started go ahead and have actual overenthusiastic sex with that like button hump the ever-living life out of it really helps out the channel
@@Torthrodhel i came....
An ostrich is about the last animal I'd expect to show up in a horror game, but SH1 makes it so disgusting and unnerving (and with only a few changes from the real animal!)
Kolibri the moth boss in sh1 always bothered me, its interesting to see they had a butterfly enemy planned as well. Moths are one lf the most harmless bugs there are so its very strange to see one as an enemy. Dont get me started on that frog enemy, which unnerves me deeply for some reason.
I'm glad when horror experiments with atypical monsters. The frog is so simple, yet upsetting!
I agree entirely! While i really adore the later monstrosities of silent hill, where they look almost like unfinished sculptures, the simplicity of the frog enemy and really every enemy in sh1 is just brilliant. Most of them are just everyday things with some modifications. I wish horror went with subtle scares more often, there's something doubly frightening when you're left to wonder because your imagination fills in the gaps for your own personal worst fears.
It's also interesting to see how they adapted things from SH1 into later games. The puppet nurses from the first game are creepy but the later games draws out an unsavory sexual factor while changing their faces into fleshy messes. Both are cool but i prefer the latter.
We almost got an ostrich in SH4 noticed it in a conceptual sketch
If you're a fan of horror/dark games, POSTAL 1 and POSTAL Redux have ostriches in them. They aren't warped but they are *in* the games. They have their own specific level, too.
This has been the most fascinating ride ever.
Chicken is terrifying.
The chicken boss animations looks like he was going to work out with harry
14:45 actually if you pay close attention, that one is actually in the game, except it has no texture and it's transparent and black, it's the same model used for the ghost babies that appear at certain points in the school, this one just has that fleshy texture attached to it
Yeah he pointed that out in the last video about it.
Exactly, it's a beta version of the larval stalker. Which is why it's called "beta larval stalker." Dumbass.
5:40 almost looks like the slurper from SH3. I wouldn't be surprised if some of these ideas were kinda fused with some of the monsters in Silent Hill 3.
Slurpers were in SH4 right? SH3 had the split head dogs
@@Chaos-bg3nn Slurpers was in SH3. The crawling ones with long face masks and annoying noises.
Ostrich is scarry
10:12 tsuchinoko real
also i can't help but laugh at that first animation for "chicken". it just... looks like it's butt-scooting across the floor
Under no circumstances are you to eat it. Understood?
Ah dang that totally is a tsuchinoko!
These heavily imply later games rebooted most of the unused concepts. The *moth creature* is hinted again in the Silence of the Lambs room in Silent Hill 2 and they swarm as part of the last boss's attacks, yet they're not fully developed until Silent Hill 4, which was the best bug enemy they accomplished.
The *ostrich creature* seems to have inspired what later became the Twin Victim in Silent Hill 4, that would explain why they sprint towards you and why walking over its hand-legs are inhumanely bird-like.
The *snake creature* is interesting, not only for its resemblance to Japanese folk bestiaries (as in the Tsuchinoko), but because it implies sexual innuendos that were actually more proper applied in Silent Hill 3, where they reused it in steroids in the Mall boss fight while hinting the sexual awakening stage of the main character as well.
The saddest case seems to be the *monkey creature,* for it has an uncanny resemblance to Silent Hill: Origins "dog" creatures. It makes sense but it's such a poor execution of it, especially for how broken the gameplay is for beating or avoiding them.
The *chicken creature* is plain morbid. A skinned creature eventually made much more sense through the lathery and flesh-like features given to Silent Hill 2 monsters, but for what capacities the PSOne had, having plucked poultry wandering to get beaten and shot wouldn't had been... elegant.
Finally, the *stalkers* were such a great concept that fit the Silent Hill 1 story, about how something that starts fearful and vulnerable, as its larvar form is, it can eventually become aggresive and perverted in its adult form. That simple statement reinforces how disguted Alessa is with grown ups _and_ growing up. The ritual actually forces her into womanhood by making her a 7-year-old mother of a demon that cannot be birthed FOR YEARS. So of course she doesn't want to become an adult! Of course her tutors are responible for this burden that is ripping her to shreads! And of course censorship took place, better not be headshooting up and down onto clearly underaged avatars at school grounds. Though we could all agree how much that prevented school shootings, but I digress.
Great findings here! Thank you for sharing them.
I can't tell if you know or not, but the Larval Stalkers were just retextured.
Even with the censorship, it's still a miracle that the game got released in USA mere months after Columbine.
Pay attention to the ostrich, the lower body is darkened. I think this chara enemy was intended for dark locations, resort area and Lakeside Amusement Park.
Here's my guesses, Silent Hill was going to have a Zoo at one point (makes sense since most of the locations are where a kid goes) and the Chicken was likely a mutant version of a school egg incubation project at the elementary school. Maybe saving the lizard boss for later as the Zoo Boss.
you know that the monsters represent alessa fears right? whats with the zoo thing lol
Dunno I'm getting a aborted fetus vide from chicken. Prob related to the fetal god inside Alessa.
@@liammccbyrne4184 that sounds like a explanation.
@@symebosymebo7263
No. That's a mistake from people misreading silent hill 2 that was erroneously continued in the bad silent hills.
I every monster would be alessa's phobias she would be completely dysfunctional...
And how would you explain puppet nurses and doctors? Is alessa afraid of a creature infesting her feared image of a doctor?
Some "take shape" of her memories, some are "mutated" animals and some are just creatures...
@@1r0zz They are actually Allessas fears, she feared the hospital staff because they acted like puppets to the cult.

Oh!! I remember an early manual or scan or something where there was art of the frog! I wonder where I saw that
@@jangounchained2942 Yeah, I think you're right. I went with "butterfly' without thinking too much about it simply because the creature is labeled "BTFY". I'm going to edit my comment.
The Monkey/dog design is incredible. I'm surprised they left it out
the chicken monster looks very Erasehead
they remastered Spyro the dragon imagine if remaster Silent hill 1 with all that extra stuff
Stamatis Stabos Not the same thing. Also would never happen because of Konami.
want this badly
That would be a hell of a remake.
Imagining the protagonist doing the fortnite dance. Just like one of the skeleton in Spyro.
@@GuyOnAChair It angers me that some fan will probably remaster it and he'll get sued by them.
If only Sony bought Silent Hill and gave it back to Kojima...
I feel like MKY might've gotten refined into the dog enemy type, given it's quadruped stance and somewhat similar attacks.
I figured it was meant to be an alternate version of the same enemy. Like a tougher enemy that shows up later in the game and does more damage.
MKY is monkey, but that emeny looks like a dog, but romper is JACK, jackal is obviously. If you change places MKY and JACK, then everything becomes clear. Romper is more like a monkey, and that gray wolf is like a jackal.
@@sheddy7372 Huh… I guess they just mixed up the names. Lol!
@@ryanhutchinson4467 Does a romper look like a jackal?
@@sheddy7372 No, I was agreeing with you. The romper is more like a monkey and the dog is more like a jackal
'Monkey' Seems to have a bear-like posture I think. Maybe a twisted hybrid. I assume it was the original design for the Romper.
Monkey is Jackal and Jackal is Monkey.
That mky looks like is jackal.
These monsters are actually pretty unsettling. I think the lowpoly models have to do with that.
That Ostrich monster reminded me of Postal 1:
[10/20/97]
Feathers will fly, but big birds won't. They WILL however, be going south this winter...FAR south!
@@A_Stranger2256 Well, it was brutal and sick as heck, but gameplay-wise wasn't as funny as Postal 2.
The “monkey”, chicken and stalker look cool. They should had put those in the game
The sting ray looks so random
Oh and the monster at 12:14 looks like David Lynch's creature from Eraserhead
The scrapped enemy designs we have here are terrifying, but the first one really gave me vibes to the giant moths from Resident Evil Code Veronica. The ostriches, frogs, monkeys, the chicken, beta Grey Children and beta Larval Stalker are the most disturbing imo.
The song sample is Black Mirror Fear in case anyone is wondering.
I thought it was from a game, but actually it's a song from 2021 produced by Yamaoka.
Sick beat, I don't really like the vocals in the song, but the tune is ill.
Edit: Found it on another video called Silent Hill 3 Casual Background
Can’t find anything when searching that.
@@Captain_Obvious_SaysHey bro THANK you. I've been looking for other videos that have this song playing and was thinking this was the only one..I was just coming back to this video just to hear it lol
@@Captain_Obvious_Saysbtw, Black Mirror Fear is just what Shazam, the app, would tell me and it would take me to some dudes awful ass rapping. They probably just took Yamaokas track and used it, then it got taken down. Or it's some SoundCloud shit. Either way, you da man
"Chicken" es simplemente espeluznante, no imagino el contexto dónde el jugador se pudiese enfrentar a tal aberración, sólo se me ocurre en la escuela, por temas alimenticios y su consecuente realización al mundo por parte de Alessa. El mono, por su parte me recuerda fuertemente a los Slurper (Su cara alargada) de Silent hill 3. Definitivamente Konami le debe de dar dinero ilimitado a Team Silent para que saquen a la Luz el tan esperado y real Silent hill 5. Que lindo que dentro de un CD de menos de 700 mb sigan saliendo a la luz más detalles y bosquejos del desarrollo de esta obra maestra.
Sin duda alguna :3
JAJAJAJJAA team silent no existe hace mas de 15 años que dices JAJAJAJA
@@symebosymebo7263 se refiere a reunirlos, muchos quieren ver el Silent Hill 5 que ellos planeaban hacer, el de la premisa de tener miedo a la luz del día y la influencia de la masacre de texas.
Seems like they were intending on including a Silent Hill Zoo at some point
That snake is an absolute unit, hot damn
And the chicken actually reminds me a bit of Dead Hand from Ocarina of Time... not sure why.
Replacing some of the monsters with these models in the retail version would be awesome. Especially that beta grey child and beta larval stalker would be so damn creepy in the game. They propably cut them out because they simply were too much.
Chicken still availible in the game.
That manta ray is a little disturbing to me due to how normal it is in contrast to the rest of the game.
The chicken walk animation combined with the music make a real mood
I love the MKY, such a creepy design. I wish it would have been an otherworld variation of the Romper. Really cool how it seems to point in Animation 8, kind of like the twin-head babies in SH4. Although, that's probably just its attack, since it appears to have blades for feet. Also, the FRG's death animation looks like a kid throwing a tantrum, which is super cute. I like him, too.
SH1 is my favorite story. I love all these alternative creatures. I was reading what this music is from SH3. I love it! It fits perfect with this video.
That ostrich look like something that would be in a crash game
I have a theory that, since the “manta ray” has it’s TIM textures located in the Test folder, it might be a test monster used during development. Probably not true but it makes me wonder what else is hidden in the files of other horror games
el = electric ray
Love the music had to come back and hear it again
If you find out what it is can you tell?
ua-cam.com/video/Mb0ofVeiebk/v-deo.html
@@zenx3855 "Casual Background" from Silent Hill 3.
They probably had a plot idea for Henry to have a fear of animals or something. Then they would be appropriately placed in a zoo/aquarium. So there may be an unused level.
I think it was Alessa that had a fear of animals. Except for Butterflies of course. 🦋
@Shawn Burke Right on! Thanks for that tidbit. 😊 I didn't know about The Lost World part! 👍❤
@Shawn Burke Oh awesome, you're a sweetheart! No doubt, I'll have to check these guys out! Hahahaha, I'll make sure to keep an open mind with them! 😉 Thanks once again for the info, I love anything on the Silent Hill series, it's one of my faves, so I'm happy to scope out anything dedicated to it. Cheers! 😁
@Shawn Burke And you, good sir, are quite the helpful gentleman, I shall see you in the next! 😊
@Shawn Burke Hey there! No worries! I'm cool with it 😁👌I'll give it a whirl and check it all out, thanks for the recommends! 😍
You can actually count the individual polygons on these models. And yet this is still one of the scariest games ever made.
for that precise reason - you always fear what you don’t understand, and these 32bit monsters leave a lot more to your imagination than any RTX 4K monstrosity!
I think the bigger creature may have even been the end boss. Eraser Head was one of Silent Hill's interests, and its very apparent here, and even in 25-50% of the design of some the creatures. I thought, when looking at "CKN", that it was one of the enemies that reminds me of many of the final ones, like the air screamer, and dog, but, then, when looking at how close it resembled the fetus of that movie, it might be true that this was supposed to be some sort of fetus creature, perhaps. Then, I thought, maybe, it might be possible too that this could have been, at a very VERY early stage of the development, where we could assume the whole Alessa's Nightmare coming forth and birthing of the god, and occult, stories were already set in stone, that, perhaps, just perhaps, that's what comes out of her, at the end. That would be a weird thought, if that were the case.
the manta ray look so cool and creepy, wonder why they didn't used it
Dat moves tho...
I saw you on another video lol
not sure where they would show up. the docks? i like how the final monsters are tied to alyssa's impression of her world before her suffering theme more than just random creatures. they were already pushing it with the Flying Screams and worm boss...
@@matty6878 the worm was kinda weird but the air screamer came from the book alessa liked, The lost world, in the symbolism department, i guess it makes more sense, more than the worm atleast.
@@ags8507 it's the larvae of the moth/butterfly monster. Could also be a reference to Alice in Wonderland...
Frog and Ostrich would have been perfect and fitting very well for the resort area.
Wow you keep finding beta assets and so much information thank you for this channel
The chicken monster 12:02 was from alone in the dark maybe this why unused
The manta ray looks like something they thought up before they went harder and darker with the aesthetic of the game. Like it still looks like a child’s imagination has spawn a monstrous real world animal, but it doesn’t look anything like a silent hill monster. Makes me wonder what they were thinking up earlier on.
The frog(?) looks much more in line with silent hill but isn’t there yet. I imagine they took the manta ray and played around with it. Perhaps at this point they were experimenting with how abstract and grotesque they wanted their monsters to be, which maybe pushed them toward the designs we all know and cry in terror at today. Maybe. In any case I think the frog would have been an awesome addition to spice up the sewer.
Monkey is a much cooler dog than what we got in the end. I wonder why we they scaled it back in the end to just a doggy boy. Also funny that we got the rompers in the end, which are VERY monkey like.
Ostrich is cool. Not too much to say here. It looks pretty freaking big, which is something I feel the first game lacks in for standard enemies, when later games have some pretty oppressive non-boss monsters.
Snake reminds me of the feeders in the hospital(?). Maybe inspired that random puzzle monster.
Chicken looks very… foetal? Very gross. Doesn’t look quite right though. Think it would need a bit more abstraction to make it work. Maybe less obviously avian to add some yummy obscurity horror to its design. Love the obviously pregnant belly though.
I’ve been waiting for years for someone to finally crack these games. Good job!
Seeing all of these unused creatures does make me wonder if the whole idea of The Cult was added in far later into development during Silent Hill 1's cycle?
I mean its easy for us now to see why these monsters weren't used, but I am very curious given the more overt focus on childhood fears rather than occultic imagery as seen in the latter parts of the first game that the focus would've been more on Pamela (Alessa's beta name) unleashing her fears upon the town more so than the very Stephen King esque cult symbolism we see of the games now.
I only wish we got a little more insight from the staff. Although since Masahiro Ito can't seem to remember, maybe Keichiro Toyama would help? I dunno.
Need to ask Keiichiro Toyama toom.
12:05 - Reminds me monster from Godzilla Creepypasta :3
Rodan
Also that "ostrich" looks like one of the Bottom monsters from Silent Hill 4. 8:14
Aha! NOW I KNOW THE CHILDREN BETA CODE I GONNA CHANGE IT.
CLD1 to CLD3,
Also Giromancy, Nice Music!
5:50 that thing would be epic to have in the streets after the hospital along with those ape creatures
manta ray looks so cute
I have the feeling , that they wanted to add a zoo part to the game and already got the enemies for it , but they hadn't enough time to finish the zoo.
Great video! So interesting seeing what was cut or left out intentionally for other reasons.
I would love to see a mod put the original children skins back. It would be perfect for the alternative nightmare school, making it much more disturbing than what we have currently, and what it was intended to be.
Original school could keep the grey children without wielding the knife, and the knife attack animation being removed for just grab attack. This would fit really well aesthetically with the school being grey and dark just like the monster itself. Same with the shadow squeaker.
Alternate school changes Grey Child with original Stalker skin, and again, aesthetically blending in much better with the new red rusted environment, and now much more threatening by wielding a knife and having the attack animation back, differentiating visually and physically between the two versions. Also have the shadow squeaker be revealed somewhere in the alternate school using it's original Larval Stalker skin, revealing to the player what the hideous truth behind the shadows were.
Im making a monster character for my portfolio and Seilent Hill's monster designs are my biggest inspiration!
Yeah silent hills also a big inspiration for me too, but the concept art and unused creatures for half-life, half-life 2, and both left4dead games are big inspirations too.
Es increible que despues de tantos años sigan sacando secretos de este juego. Seria genial que hicieran un remake con keiichiro a la cabeza.
I legitimately fall asleep to this music. Thank you.
04:45 when your mom doesn't buy you a happy meal
Frog fucking awesome
the frog looks terrifying.
The "chicken" looks like if the baby from Eraserhead was all grown up. Absolute nightmare fuel.
Please don't stop making videos, i love your channel!
The manta ray just looks cute, not scary! 😅 But "monkey"... that should definitely have replaced the "dog" enemies in the final game!!! So much more creative than a skinned dog...
Also, this track "Black Mirror Fear" (I think?) is amazing! Akira is a gem 💎
If creating a fan game or a completely original one in the style of Silent Hill 1 and 2, I would add the Deformed Toad, the Headless Ostrich, The Snake that seems to remind a male reproductive organ (or as I affectionately call it, the Penis Snake) and Malnourished Chicken. Because seriously, they are just terrifying and so good... they seem absurd but at the same time they are so great because Silent Hill turns them from ordinary creatures to monsters in seconds, distorting and deforming them to the point of the unspeakable. Even the cutest and most tender or the most harmless and insignificant becomes aberrant in an area controlled by an evil and rotten God.
Nice find, SH is dear to my heart and seeing this new stuff is just amazing.
awesome video, clean editing and relaxing SH music.
I really do enjoy this glad you posted this such an amazing game in my opinion 😁
Ah, thank you for this! Nice collection. Keep it up ;) btw your level viewers are awesome! I hope there will be more
This is wicked excellent work. More, please.
I love how the butterfly look like it's vibin' to the track.
I wonder if these were cut because there was too much of an animal theme to them, and that's not really where the enemy design for the series ended up in the long run.
Feeling pity for these creatures. Harry Mason is a monster! :)
man I love vids like this. for most people, those are just unused assets. but for me, they tell a story of what was abandoned during development, thanks for sharing!
"Monkey" looks creepy af
My God! The Chicken one give me creeps.
Anyone tried to show these to Masahiro Ito, through his twitter account, and ask for some information? Like the reasons for removal a inspiration for the desings?
Someone asked Masahiro Ito about those monsters on twitter and He said: "I certainly made some of these. However I have no comment."
Thank you for the answer!
That's kinda of lame, I was expecting a bit more.
HAHAHAHAHA
Nice but what is this music?!?! Don't remember it from the game but it's straight FIRE!!!!
Music's from SILENT HILL 3. This is the unused track that can be found in sd.afs file.
Thanks man!!
@@Vsevolod3788 That's funny, it gives off a very SH1 feel. Creepy.
@@metitfour131 I don't find it's creepy, it actually sounds pretty relaxed and comfy to me. But I agree on SH1 part, it does give that results screen vibe from the first game.
Amazing work.
The last two look foetal. Makes a lot of sense.
The beta Larval Stalker is creepy as fuck.
Great work.
great work
Very well made
the manta ray is actually adorable
I'm speechless. Man, you are the most productive SH fan I know) Good job as always.
¿Alguien mas esta obsesionado con el primer silent hill, o solo soy yo?
somos muchos
Really awesome video! Too bad some of these weren't used, they had some really cool monster ideas! 👍❤
This is amazing!!!!
This blows my fucking mind.. Jesus I'm overwhelmed
Maybe there was gonna be a weird zoo section in silent hill? That kinda explains all the animals sorta.
jesuscrist dude !!!! you are very good 10:27 that monster is very similar to the albinoid in RE Code Veronica X
Always cool to find some beta stuff.
Frog is actually horrifying
That larval stalker looks terrifying!
I feel like the Frog was replaced by the Romper in the final game
The face of beta Grey Child somehow reminds me those masks from "The Wall" movie... I don't know if this was intentional, but knowing Silent Hill creative team's penchant for referencing other works of art, it could be.
Some of these prototypes seem like inspirations for enemies in the later entries...At least, the 3 proper sequels that followed.
The monkey looks like a Chupacabra.
those chicken animations are absolutely terrifying 🤣🤣
chicken looks straight out of eraserhead
