The infamous playable trailer for Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro's scrapped Silent Hills game – known forevermore as just P.T. – has been an outlier in horror gaming since it was removed from the PlayStation Store in 2015. Never allowed to grow past its infancy, P.T. exists only informally as one of the most frightening games ever made, so I'm glad one Japanese secondary school imbued it with the new purpose of teaching kids English.
The Tsunan Secondary School in Niigata wrote in a blog – found and translated by Automaton – that one of its assistant language teachers recently decided to have their tweenage students play the approximately 20-minute Silent Hills trailer in English, helping them pick up important phrases like "meat cleaver" and "murder his entire family."
