Closer
Description:
Its body seems to mock the female form, with a mouth resembling a v****a; around its legs is a mini-skirt. The Closer is an intentionally tall, menacing creature, with thick, all-encompassing arms.
Method of Attack:
They attack by hitting the character with their club-like arms, or extending a blade-like bone fragment from the tips of their arms.
Symbolism:
The Closer is a manifestation of Alessa Gillespie's memories of her mother's abuse, hence the enlarged arms. Its name is derived from its ability to obstruct a path with its huge body. The Closer is similar to one of the monsters Alessa used to draw when she was young. Its appearance is similar to that of the Mandarin from Silent Hill 2, along with a possible similar symbolism (overwhelming, unescapable fear).
It could also be a distorted interpretation of real people, mall shoppers. It is reminiscent of a figure holding a shopping bag in each hand. This is supported by the fact that it first appears in the mall. Its mouth is the prominent feature on the face, possibly reflecting a view that the mall shoppers talk too much.
Reasons for Manifestation:
• Any of the reasons similar to the plight illustrated above.
Area:
• Central Square Shopping Center
• Subway
• Hilltop Office Building
• Brookhaven Hospital
• Lakeside Amusement Park
• Chapel
