A brutal man with a history of alcoholism and violence, his home life hid even worse: An incestuous [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil rapist]], Thomas [[ParentalIncest sexually abused his daughter]] Angela every single night and turned a blind eye to his own son participating in the abuse. So deep were the scars left by him that the town brings the memory of Thomas to life as the [[MentalMonster Abstract Daddy]], a twisted manifestation of his lust for Angela. Despite [[PosthumousCharacter being dead by the time the game takes place]], Thomas was just as wicked and abhorrent in life as the literal monster that Silent Hill made to represent him.

[[AC:Video Games]]
* [[VideoGame/SilentHill1 First game]] & ''[[VideoGame/SilentHillOrigins 0rigins]]'':
** [[EvilMatriarch Dahlia Gillespie]] is [[BigBad the head]] of a cult known as the Sect of the Holy Woman. Starting a drug trade, Dahlia sells a hallucinogen made from a local plant named White Claudia to the tourists, killing the anti-drug mayor and the narcotics officer Gucci in the process.

Seven years later, Dahlia tricks the first game's protagonist Harry Mason into helping her to complete the ritual.
** [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate Dr. Michael Kaufmann]] produces and supplies PTV for the Order, while keeping much of it to sell elsewhere. [[LackOfEmpathy Uncaring]] of the drug's intense effects and painful withdrawal symptoms, Kaufmann {{greed}}ily lines his pocket, giving the dangerous psychedelic to tourists looking to get high. [[BadBoss Preying on his own nurse Lisa Garland]], Kaufmann hooks the young woman for years, threatening to cut her off lest she yield to his demands both sexually and for his illegal operations and eventually deciding to [[DirtyCoward flee the town for fear of his own safety]], abandoning Lisa to the Order's apocalyptic plot.
* ''VideoGame/SilentHill4'': [[TheExecutioner Jimmy Stone]] and his right-hand man, [[TheDragon George Rosten]], are the long-deceased leaders of an alliance between the Sect of Valtiel and the Sect of the Holy Mother, branches of the religious cult known as the Order. Running the [[OrphanageOfFear Wish House]] with an iron fist, they brainwashed and abused orphans to make more followers of the Order, sending those who disappointed them to a HellholePrison where the children would suffer for days, some not even surviving. As representatives of their respective interpretations of the Order's teachings, both are also equally guilty of more atrocities. Stone was given the nickname "Red Devil" for his choice in becoming an executioner to be closer to his twisted angel and Rosten was particularly interested in finding someone to complete the 21 Sacraments, sacrifices that, in his belief, would cleanse the world of sin. Deciding to use the young Walter Sullivan as his puppet, Rosten devoted himself to raising and molding him into his own SerialKiller.
* ''[[VideoGame/SilentHillHomecoming Homecoming]]'':
** [[HangingJudge Judge Margaret Holloway]] is one of the respected town leaders of Shepherd's Glen and a cold-hearted, cruel and vicious [[BigBad leader]] of the Order. Years prior, Holloway murdered her [[OffingTheOffspring youngest daughter]] Nora by strangling her with her own hands, [[HumanSacrifice as per the pact with the Order's God]], while barely concealing her own enjoyment at the process. When the pact was broken due to Joshua Shepherd dying in older sibling Alex's place, Holloway reassembled the Order to take control of Shepherd's Glen as a means of gaining and maintaining her power. Over the years she had residents kidnapped to be brainwashed into the Order, with those resisting ending up tortured to death. Eventually the residents were either dead or soldiers for the Order. Later, she plans on killing her other daughter Elle for her refusal to join her, before attempting to torture Alex to death with a [[ThisIsADrill power drill]].
** [[AxCrazy Curtis Ackers]] is [[TheDragon a member of Margaret Holloway's Order]], one of the first and the most depraved of all members who helped abduct numerous victims into Silent Hill. In the Order to indulge his sadism, Curtis tortures and murders his victims, including [[WouldHurtAChild children]]. [[DragonTheirFeet Even after Margaret is defeated]], Curtis makes an attempt to torture her daughter to death with a [[ChainsawGood circular saw]], musing how he knows what to do to "take care of her".
* ''Orphan'' trilogy: [[GhastlyGhost Alessa]], a malicious spirit haunting Silent Hill, [[AdaptationalVillainy possesses none of her original counterpart's tragic backstory]] and is responsible for the deaths of several playable characters. Growing up hating the orphanage she lived in, Alessa [[DemonicPossession possessed her sister]], Karen, and committed a massacre that [[WouldHurtAChild took the lives of numerous children]], purely out of spite and to become "awake". Thirty years later, Alessa resurfaces to kill those who survived. After killing two of the survivors, Alessa enlists the help of a revived victim to stop Karen from ruining her plans and later sends the man who had killed their parents, Vincent, to destroy the rest of her, but not before convincing the last survivor, Emilie, to stab herself with a knife. Successfully eliminating Karen, Alessa gives Vincent a heart attack, as [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he was not useful to her anymore]].
[[AC:[[ComicBook/SilentHill Comic Book Series]]]]
* [[BigBad Whately]] is a vile being from Otherworld, who wants to unleash [[HellOnEarth his brethren upon the Earth]] to conquer it and feed on humanity. Manipulating the events from afar, Whately sets up unfortunate events in the life of reporter Douglas Brenneman, kidnapping his fiancée and [[CopKiller killing police officers]] to make him chase a story. As Douglas searches for answers, Whately causes people around him to [[DrivenToMadness go insane]] and kill and cannibalize each other, as well as having Dr. Aickmann experiment on countless fertile young women to bring Samael and the rest of his kind to Earth. Later on, Whately unleashes Otherworld on Silent Hill, massacring many people and setting the town on fire. In the end, Whately decides to simply use another young woman, Connie Mills, as a vessel for Samael, while killing several innocent people and framing famous actor Kenneth Carter for them, to spread tales and rumors about Silent Hill to the rest of the world, so that Samael can [[EmotionEater feed on]] the fears and nightmares of people who dream of Silent Hill.
* [[FromNobodyToNightmare Christabella LaRoache]], an undead [[EnfantTerrible 8-year-old]] lurking within the town, once traumatized a film student and murdered her doctor before resurrecting him as her pet monster. Coming face-to-face with her older sister, Christabella amuses herself by killing her friends one by one, intending on making them into more slaves. After having her powers taken away from her, Christabella is recruited as the PsychoPartyMember for the heroes, torturing one of them as retaliation for showing disgust towards her. With the destruction of Samael's mortal vessel, Christabella succeeds in becoming the sole ruler of Silent Hill, excitingly advising a visitor that they will know when it is time to scream. Unlike the demonic Whately and his plan to change the entire world, Christabella ruins lives [[ForTheEvulz solely to feel powerful]].
* ''The Grinning Man'': [[PsychopathicManchild The Grinning Man]] is a gunslinging warlock and SerialKiller with a taste for HuntingTheMostDangerousGame. Interested in turning Silent Hill into his own hunting ground, he is [[EstablishingCharacterMoment introduced]] exploding a mining complex with a young man inside, and then takes a ride to Silent Hill, abducting the women who had given him a lift, along with the passengers of a van. Keeping them hostage in the Lakeview Hotel, the Grinning Man brands those he captures, including children, with the Mark of the Serpent, which protects them from monsters, but slowly drains their vitality until they die, leaving them zombie-like in appearance.
* ''The Silent Hill Experience: Hunger'': [[MadDoctor Dr. Aickmann]] is a [[ItsAllAboutMe histrionic]] sexual deviant working at Brookhaven Hospital who [[PsychoSupporter fully supports]] Whately's plans of bringing Samael to the human world. Contracted by Whately to be his human accomplice, Aickmann helps him with kidnapping fertile young women and impregnating them with the seed of Samael, in hopes that they would give birth to the demonic god and his brethren. After a woman had been chosen to be the incubator, Aickmann goes on a homicidal rampage, killing a nurse and a number of other people, keeping their eyes around his operating suite as [[CreepySouvenir macabre trophies]].
[[AC:Films]]
* ''Film/SilentHill'': [[BigBad Christabella]] is the manipulative [[SinisterMinister leader]] of the fanatical [[ChurchMilitant Brethren]]. An uncaring [[TheFundamentalist religious extremist]], Christabella despised her nine-year-old niece, Alessa, for being born out of wedlock, having her condemned as a witch and using her position to encourage the other students at Midwich Elementary to bully and torment Alessa daily. Citing Alessa's rape at the hands of a school janitor as proof that the girl was "filth", Christabella took Alessa to the Brethren's sacrificial chamber and hung her over a bowl of hot coals, slowly [[BurnTheWitch burning her alive]]; the ritual failed and resulted in part of Silent Hill being destroyed by fire. After Christabella and the Brethren became trapped inside Silent Hill, Christabella continued to use their fear to keep them under her control. Believing Sharon to be the Devil's spawn, Alessa burned Cybil alive and was prepared to do the same with the little girl, forcing her sister Dahlia to watch everything.
* ''[[Film/SilentHillRevelation3D Revelation 3D]]'': [[BigBad Claudia Wolf]] is an albino fanatic who [[AdaptationalVillainy lacks her original counterpart's sympathetic qualities]]. The sister of both Christabella and Dahlia Gillespie, Claudia is the shapeshifting HighPriestess, known as the Missionary, for the [[ReligionOfEvil Order of Valtiel]], who desires to bring Heather back to Silent Hill and summon her enigmatic god to the human world. As an important figure within the cult, Claudia had her own father and a number of other people condemned to the Brookhaven Asylum to be lobotomized while also crucifying supposed traitors. [[AbusiveParents Cutting a symbol into the chest of her own son]] as part of a ritual that would allow him to find Heather for her, Claudia murders a private investigator who had betrayed her and kidnaps Heather's father, forcing the girl to return to the town. When her son chose to side with Heather, Claudia spared him from being burned alive but instead sent him to suffer the same fate as his grandfather before him.
