Yes. It is possible to see a newspaper headline reading "Bill Skins Fifth," a headline mentioned near the beginning of SOTL referencing serial killer Buffalo Bill's latest murder.Loner wrote:Back to the topic at hand, aren't there posters hidden in the game that advertise Silence of the Lambs (It's been a while since the last time I played, but I do remember that being somewhere) So I would think its fairly feasible that the moth be a reference to the movie.

I thought it mentions some where that the book frightened Alessa as child. Or in SH3 Heather remembers back to some similar thing. Oh well, I guess not. My silly mind must be remembering false memories. . .hmmm. . .Krist. wrote:It did neither. Where do you get this?Scanman22 wrote:True. But didn't it mention or imply that she was scared by the story?

Not only that but we meet a caterpillar before that. So yes, there is change. If it means anything, i don't know. Perhaps some allegory ofSo, if a moth represents change, and we meet a huge moth on the roof of a multiple-story building, what do we get?

the god growing inside Alessa or something. Or, wretched, burnt Alessa changing into... something else. It could mean anything or nothing.
I can't believe i earned 10 Silent Hill cash for this.

In case you hadn't read it, the moth (floatstinger) is the caterpillar (twinfeeler), which is the only boss that escapes after you defeat it.
Silent Hill Chronicle wrote:Floatstinger (Moth/Giant moth)
area: Business district
character: Mature form of the twinfeeler. Attacks with poison gas and
the poisonous stinger on its tail
metaphor: "Floatstinger." The image of an insect specimen that was used
to decorate Alessa's room.
