There&#8217;s barely anything to it &#8211; it&#8217;s just a discoloured CGI dude in a body bag, but it&#8217;s captured so well and is so darned spooky that I gotta respect it. I won&#8217;t deny that as a young&#8217;un this gave me the willies. The grisly head wound with exposing the brain and flesh tissue is obviously gross, but even the piercing eyes and vein-y discolouring from the nose upwards plays up the chill factor. It&#8217;s a beautifully grim concoction.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">I don&#8217;t know if it was intentional or not, but I always interpreted the brain as a bizarre and monstrous set of teeth; like a circular mouth with fangs on all sides that just close in around the centre. Given the freaky freaks the <em>Resident Evil<\/em> series made itself famous for after zombies got pass\u00e9, it gives the image a great twist.<br \/>\nMind you, it doesn&#8217;t look half as threatening viewing the image right-side up. It looks more like a really dweeby kid poking his head in through your window and asking if you want to come over and play <em>Bayou Billy<\/em>. He better have saved the receipt!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;It&#8217;ll scare you to death!&#8221; from Official Nintendo Magazine issue 88 (January 2000)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[37,23],"class_list":["post-388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-onm-remembered","tag-onm","tag-resident-evil"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=388"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
