To do what?
Silent hill monsters are basically social-workers playing "work through your problems with roleplay" with a very violent patient.
There is nothing to 'Do'
But if you really want to make a "The monster is a manifestation of your psych trying to help you cope" I suggest looking here: youtube.com
Base an npc around Raven and let the players roll.
Jose Ward
You're thinking of Silent Hill 2. That scene was from 3.
Ethan Harris
Oh...right....
I still like Raven though,
She's the epitome of an epic level sorcerer.
Grayson Wood
Or maybe Wilder?

Silent Hill's ambiguity wouldn't really work with a tabletop RPG. Too many eyes on too many things at once, too many characters able to operate independently of the 'rules' of the town and the manifestations, and the fact that different people aren't supposed to always experience the same things.
Although now that I say this it would actually be a pretty great application of PbtA mechanics because of the way the moves and playbooks would codify such different experiences and interactions for each character. Take enough care in outlining 'GM Moves' for each character type and/or dysfunction and you really could handle it faithfully.

Even if they were people, they were still trying to kill you.
Benjamin Peterson
Misses the point of the statement.
It wasn't about the morality of killing them, it was about Heather feeling like she was losing her sanity. She was already questioning what was going on, being honestly asked if she's delusional really fucked with her mind.

Silent Hill 2 is not the whole franchise or even the main focus of the franchise prior to the US developers shitting over it.

No. Most of them are just manifestations that hunt you and others because they are your negativity and what else does a disturbed person do if not lash at others? The town as a whole might try to do you good In it's own twisted way, but unless you have a deep seated desire to better yourself buried in that negativity, like pyramid head, all you get is a pained monster that wants to harm you. Except in 4 where they are just undead and horrid nightmares dreamed by an insane man
