This section contains two Silent Hill music videos:
Ki-No-Ko (Length: 05.23)
A music video with a sepia tone color palette and strange subject matter. You can see images of pulsating mushrooms, a twirling hall of lights, James standing in a hospital room, various close ups of human eyes and mouths, two legs stretching out and three save squares flying above the streets of Silent Hill.

Caramel Mix (Length 04.41)
A music video with a green, red, yellow monochromatic color palette. Silent Hill 2 game creatures, rooms, notes, and characters, etc. flash into one another set to a techno beat. Hard to get a good look at anything in particular since all the images shake, twist, overlap and turn with the music very quickly.

Trailer Sub-Menu
Contains trailer and opening videos of Silent Hill and Silent Hill 2.
Tokyo Game Show 2000 Autumn Trailer (Length: 04.33)
The first Silent Hill 2 trailer shown at the Tokyo Game Show in Autumn 2000. The trailer features the temporary Silent Hill 2 logo and can hear an acoustic version of the game's main theme, Theme of Laura (which was never put on the soundtrack). Another cool fact: Takayoshi Sato purchased the rendering server needed to prepare the cut scenes featured in this trailer with his own personal savings, prior to gaining corporate budget approval.

E3 2001 (Length: 05.45)
This is the third Silent Hill 2 trailer shown at E3 in 2001. The video features the final Silent Hill 2 logo design, more detailed cut-scenes (many from the opening movie) and in-games fight scenes. The music again featured changes/revisions to Theme of Laura not heard on the original recording.

Silent Hill Opening Movie (Length: 02.20)
The Silent Hill opening ... with a difference. Instead of opening with the quote “The fear of blood tends to create fear for the flesh” with a close up of Alessa’s portrait, it begins instead with a plain black screen and the quote “You will encounter a wall of darkness, and the wrath of the underworld. These will help you.” Another strange difference are the words on Cheryl’s sketchpad; it now reads “Drawing Block” on the cover instead of the gibberish "COOWIGR DINOK" that is seen in the final game opening.
