Under Pyramid Head's Helmet: A Theory
I checked the quicklinks section for possible "under the mask" posts for ideas and couldn't find anything specific, but if you can direct me it'd be appreciated.
I believe that Pyramid Head's real head is actually...a penis. Why do I so strongly believe that? Mostly due to the strange "sack" at the back of his head which is either some type of weight, a respiration system of some kind, or testicles. Most of us have already seen PH's black "tongue" coming out of the hole in his helmet when he begins to strangle James, but what if it's not really a tongue, but an extention of his head penis (or penis head, respectively)?
I'm not posting this theory as a joke, since I sincerely believe that it would make sense according to his theme of sexuality and dominance.

How absolutely inane. Why would they make it a penis... and not reveal that at some point? Why go through the trouble of concocting this character waaaayyyy back in 2000 (I figure they had to be working on this for at least a year)... and never once in a decade, in a fucking decade reveal that "lolz guys it's a peneer".
It's absolutely absurd, the helmet is in direct correlation to the executioners hat, you know from the painting in the historical society...
Is there more to the monster sure... but I'm pretty confident it's not a penis.

It may very well be james, as ph is a manifestation from his mind, set out to punish james and make him realize the truth.
What hasnt been discussed is why PHeads hands are webbed, and why his knife has the handle at the bottom, rather than the top.

I highly doubt that it's a penis. I'm a subscriber to the belief that, since Pyramid Head is a direct manifestation of James' subconscious guilt, it also takes on James' physical characteristics as well. Thus, if the helmet were removed, we'd be looking at another James.
Well, as far as hands go, Pyramid Head is wearing gloves with fused fingers. So, whether his hands are truly webbed or not remains undetermined, as far as I know.helldescent wrote:It may very well be james, as ph is a manifestation from his mind, set out to punish james and make him realize the truth.

Kudos x2 for straight up stating this theory of yours so bluntly, I see you've been bashed a bit but that's ok cuz you stuck out an ideal that could have some possible representation and you cannot be denied your own beliefs on any one subject.
However interesting your theory might be though I cannot help but disagree with it. It was though very interesting at first, but even though Silent Hill enjoys delving into the perception of sexuality (mostly #2 lol) I wouldn't think under that helmet would lye a great big cock...
In the game their is stated an exocutioner (sp?) of some kind (I forget specifics sorry) and that person (specifics again...) must be hidden under the helmet in some obscure/deformed/sureal way. That's just my guess though, another theory to add on.

I agree with you.And as sad as it makes me, this topic was discussed before... a lot.... too many times in fact.
And its not a penis. Underneath Pyramid's helmet. . . there's nothing. It's his head. Not a helmet.
The whole thing about "If you remove PH's helmet he'll be something like Valtiel" is only an example of what the design for him would be like if they (the team) didn't include a helm. In other words, he would be a faceless monster like many others.
In short: I still think that the red helm is in fact, his head.
