There is a fight boiling over in Silent Hill – not for love, lust, nor the pendulous future of your sinner's soul, but over pop legend Madonna and how much she influenced the horror franchise's 2001 sequel. Silent Hill 2 artist art director is adamant the answer is barely at all.
A popular Twitter post says facetiously that Madonna's music video for 1998 anthem 'Nothing Really Matters' was "inspiration for the atmosphere of silent hill 2 so technically we have madonna to thank for the perfection that is silent hill 2." They're referencing a deleted post Ito made in 2019 naming the 'Nothing Really Matters' video as one of his influences while curating Silent Hill 2's rotten mood. But the horror artist says he's been misunderstood.
