What's with the stretchers in the nightmare Mall?

Heather finds out why it's true that you shouldn't talk to strangers. Or look in mirrors, quite honestly.

What's with the stretchers in the nightmare Mall?

Post by Starr »

Atleast, I think that's what they're called, right? Well anyways, right after you use the hanger to climb to the 2nd floor, you see the stretchers with obviously dead bodies? What is it suppose to symbolize or represent? They're obviously there for a reason.

They're obviously there just for the creeps. Altough I didn't find any of'em creepy. . . :wink:

I always thought they were there just to be creepy but simeonalo's idea makes sense.

Alessa's hospitalization. Keep in mind who Heather is, afterall.

I guess it DOES make sense, not to mention the TV in the Nightmare Mall shows (atleast I think) Alessa saying "Daddy" and the stretchers are in the same place so I guess it makes perfect sense.

That's not Alessa, it's Cheryl.

You're right. I remember the same kind of stretchers in SH1 and they represent Alessa's hospitalization, so it safe to assume that it means the same in SH3 also.

Considering that these stretchers appear in the first "level", it could be some kind of early break through of Alessa.
I mean, at that point Heather has no idea who she really is, so it could be coming/comes from her subconciousness.

As if there aren't enough hospitals.

Or cooked dogs. How about more of those?

I don't think there are many cooked dogs (lol) but I agree with the hospital thing. Too much hospitals, too much sexy nurses.
