*** From ''SilentHill 3'', I present [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_Fn6YLetZA What A Nightmare]]. This song haunts my dreams...

** There's really too many to count. Silent Hill is full of these.
** One more, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WShknpNpHbY Betrayal from Silent Hill 2]]. It's the perfect music for a final battle with a demon monster from Hell. It's so dark and depressing but awesome at the same time.
** Don't forget the song in the opening of Silent Hill 3. If you listen to it, watch the scenes for it too.
*** I assume you mean [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_e8abf_Tds End of Small Sanctuary]]. Another awesome song from SH3 is [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZGIMNplzAQ Kill God]], with its dramatic organ and the tortured wheezing of [[spoiler:The God]]. The perfect music for ThatOneBoss.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHPWrGoHTZ4 Save Before You Quit]]. Too bad this wasn't on the official soundtrack.
** From Homecoming, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDKBfhcos84 Witchcraft]]. Even if the game wasn't great, this music coupled with Alex's thoughts on his family certainly sets the mood.
** From SH3 [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QemtgxcIYV8 Uneternal Sleep]] is one of my favourite bits of vg music.

** I can't believe i'm the first person to mention [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uWYs_NuDgI Not Tomorrow]], the song that plays during Lisa's reveal in the first game. It's just so haunting and melancholy.
* This may seem a bit weird, but there seems to be something [[EarWorm very addicting]] about [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJlBN4fIBM0 Mira's Theme]], the piece made entirely of barks and growls played during the dog ending. Catchy? Very...
