I haven't played 1 in full, but I still would have recognized you. It's the only one I haven't played myself, watched my dad play it when I was younger, and it still seems like the scariest one for some reason, despite the dated graphics. I'll find the courage someday...

Don't feel bad, anon. I did a Bubblehead Nurse, which I thought would be like the second or third most recognizable baddie in the games (behind pyramid head of course) and not a single person recognized me.

I did a pretty damn good job on it, too. Scared some little kids.

So am I! That's why I was so stoked to cosplay her, but was really disappointed once I actually went to the con. A few times they asked which anime I'm from, a few other times they thought I was cosplaying from Bioshock. My first costume idea was a Puppet Nurse, though I wager she would have gotten similar reactions. Unless it's 1) Heather, 2) James 3) Pyramid Head 4) Bobblehead Nurse, people seem to have a hard time figuring out the character.

It actually WAS the scariest, at least to me, despite the crappy emulator lag, meh voice acting, Mexican soap opera-y storyline and shitty graphics. The story was also the most compelling one of the series, because the town just seems a lot more dangerous when you're stranded there than in, say, SH2 where James just goes "oh look, I wanna visit this here town because Mary said so".
Sorry for going off on a tangent here, I'm a huge fan of the franchise and sound like an insufferable nerd when I start talking about it.

People always say this, but I don't think there's a single cosplayer that doesn't like to receive some praise for their costume. If you put work into it, it feels good to have another fan of the series to notice and appreciate it. Even if you didn't make a massive suit of armor, it's still nice for someone to want to pull you aside and talk about how they enjoy your costume, and possibly talk for a bit about the game/show/whatever.

Screw that, I do the rare stuff anyway, because its that much more thrilling when someone DOES recognize you. Doing something popular means yeah, everyone knows it, but no one really is excited. Doing something rare means that when you DO have someone recognize you, you're going to have made that person's day, because they never see their favorite series cosplayed.

I always go on these threads and mention my love for Junji Itou, but hell lets do it again cause I really want to just cosplay that shit. My dream cosplay is the Hanging Balloons, cause I'm a cosplay masochist and trying to make a floating head is a wonderful idea.

I have to agree with all the Silent Hill peeps here, as a Silent Hill cosplayer myself. The best bet is to do it with a group. People will recognize you as Harry more likely if you have a Cybil and Lisa with you, but they might ask you if you're from Resident Evil (happened to me when I was Cybil at least three times that day).
