I think I find real world references to Silent Hill a little more often than your average person. I don't know if it's because I'm a poorly reformed goth kid or because everything has the potential to scare the crap out of me given the right lighting conditions and personal mindset. Either way I come to you with another random discovery that makes me think fondly of the quiet little resort town on the shores of Toluca Lake.
Today our little gem comes from the vintage ads community over at Livejournal. They're currently running a lovely little contest devoted to self improvement which is why this one surfaced recently. It's supposedly a device for keeping your spine young, but to me it just looks like concept art for a Silent Hill monster.
I admit just about anything old and medical could have some silent hill connotations. I've certainly never been able to look at a wheelchair the same way again, but this is an especially nefarious looking contraption. I'm pretty sure no amount of "keen relish" would get me to climb into something that looks like that looks at best like a bondage apparatus gone wrong and at worst like a torture device straight from the mind of the devil himself. Just image a dark rusty hallway of those things spinning. It's enough to make your skin crawl.
So there's just a bit of horror for your day. You're welcome.
