It’s been a little while since you got some
decent fresh air and exercise, so you decided, “Hey, why not put on my running shoes and
go for a hike on the nearby forest trail.” But on this very specific occasion, some light
exercise is about to be extremely bad for your health - as you’ve just wandered into
one of the hunting grounds of Siren Head, a 40-foot-tall monster from the demented mind
of horror king Trevor Henderson. Before you can even figure out what’s going
on, you’re hearing random words and numbers being screamed at you over a crackly old intercom. You look over your shoulder and see it approach. A huge, gangling figure, emerging from the
trees, arms outstretched to grab you. That’s right, Siren Head is coming right
for you, and he means business. Are you going to end up like countless others,
spirited away to an unknown but surely horrible fate? Will the details of your disappearance be
playing out of Siren Head’s siren head as he stalks his next victim? Not if we have anything to say about it! The chips may be down for you, but listen
up. We’re about to figure out how to go toe
to toe with this mythical internet monster in “You Vs Siren Head - How To Defeat and
Survive Him.” Pay close attention. If ever this monster catches you with your
pants down, remembering this video might just save your life. But first, you know the drill. It’s a truth universally acknowledged in
the art of combat that you can’t defeat what you don’t understand. What exactly is Siren Head? What makes this creature so dangerous, what
are its combat capabilities, and does it have any apparent weaknesses? According to the wider Trevor Henderson mythos,
Siren Head is the physical expression of a more cosmic being interacting with our universe. As mentioned before, he’s forty feet tall,
with incredibly long yet powerful limbs. His body appears to be withered or rotted
flesh. As the name suggests, the creature’s head
is, in fact, a functioning siren with two siren horns. In each horn, the creature has working jaws
and teeth, though he apparently doesn’t need to eat in order to survive - so you won’t
be starving this thing to death any time soon. While it’s unknown whether Siren Head has
any higher-level intelligence or abstract reasoning like human beings and some of the
other entities we’ve fought on this show, like Pennywise The Dancing and The Predator,
the creature undeniably has a killer instinct. It knows how to isolate its prey in remote
locations, camouflage itself as trees, telephone poles, and street lamps, and effortlessly
swoop in for the kill. While hearing this may be sending shivers
down your spine already, don’t fret. This is actually a good thing. Allow us to explain. Like most real-life predators out in the wild,
Siren Head follows certain tried and true behavioural patterns in order to capture its
prey. This not only makes the creature predictable
- and gives you certain solid dos and don’ts if you want to avoid an encounter altogether
- by analysing the predatory patterns of Siren Head, you can gather valuable information
about some of its strengths and weaknesses. For starters, let’s take a look at the creature’s
natural habitat and hunting grounds. According to official lore, Siren Head avoids
population centres, instead prowling around remote areas or, on some occasions, quiet
rural areas. On occasion, Siren Head has appeared in more
urban areas, such as behind isolated motels, but the consistent factor is that Siren Head
avoids engagements with large groups of people at all costs. The greatest number of recorded people Siren
Head has been able to engage with at once has been a family of four who disappeared
from their suburban home - but considering two of these four were children, the point
still stands. Siren Head is an ambush predator, not the
kind of combatant comfortable with taking on large groups of adults. It’s even been known to spend long periods
of time utterly motionless between attacks, blending in with its surroundings. We can learn two extremely valuable things
from this: First, you can potentially avoid a Siren Head encounter altogether if you stick
to densely populated areas. Second, if Siren Head is hesitant to engage
with large groups, it does imply that the creature is vulnerable to being defeated or
even killed if enough people with enough firepower back it into a proverbial corner. While it may be the physical expression of
a more powerful cosmic being, that physical vessel can still presumably be destroyed,
if you’re smart and/or lucky enough. But let’s get back to what intel we have
on this mysterious being. We know now that Siren Head is an ambush predator
that isolates its prey before moving in for the kill. What does Siren Head have in the way of actual
combat abilities? While this may not seem possible for a being
of uncertain higher intelligence, Siren Head is a master of psychological warfare. It has certain traits and abilities that can
induce such a state of terror that victims may be tempted to throw in the towel before
it even gets within grabbing range. The creature’s immense height and its zombie-like
rotten skin makes it extremely frightening at first glance, and its grotesque siren head
is enough to make anyone freeze up. And that hesitation can be deadly, as Siren
Head is known to move at startling speeds. If you let your guard down for even a few
seconds, it’ll probably be the death of you. But it’s more than just the look of Siren
Head that drives its victims into states of mortal panic. This beast has a terrifying mastery over sound. Not only does it speak in creepy gargled snippets
of music, numbers, and recorded dialogue out of its two sirens, it also plays the disappearance
reports of its previous victims, heightening the sense of doom that surrounds the creature. But it’s not just the psychological advantage,
either. Trevor Henderson has stated that Siren Head
is capable of manipulating any device that can play audio, from car radios to cell phones. Not only is this terrifying, it can also effectively
prevent you from calling for help in your hour of need. Without backup already on the way, Siren Head
can stalk, isolate, and attack you when you’re most vulnerable. This is one of the things that makes the creature
so deadly - it never engages in a fair fight. It waits until you’re most vulnerable and
alone - whether you’re hiking in the forest or just walking home from work down quiet
suburban streets. Then, it strikes with overwhelming force,
ending things before they’ve even really begun. And I’m sorry to tell you this, but if Siren
Head has caught you while you’re alone, unarmed, and not expecting an attack, then
there’s probably nothing you can do to save yourself. Though if it’s any consolation, you’ll
at least find out what happens to all the other people who disappeared...Before it happens
to you, too. In other words, there are really only two
ways to come out on top when it comes to Siren Head: Either stick to a densely populated
urban area and avoid the conflict altogether, or arm yourself and take the fight to him
- seeing as humans actually looking for Siren Head would probably surprise even the creature
itself. That’s right, the time for cowering in fear
is over. We’re gonna teach you how to go Siren Head
hunting. Firstly, you’re gonna need to find some
likeminded individuals with nerves of steel. As we’ve already discussed, Siren Head will
avoid group engagements whenever possible, so pulling together a competent hunting party
of at least ten people will be your first priority. How you do this is up to you - whether it’s
putting up a flier outside your local biker bar, or posting a “Monster Hunters Wanted”
ad on Craigslist. As long as you can find some tough, motivated
individuals willing to follow you into a nightmare, you’re good to go. Next, equipment and weaponry. Seeing as nobody has ever engaged in active
combat with Siren Head, we can’t know for certain what its physical vulnerabilities
are, so it’s better to be safe than sorry. But first, let’s quickly discuss what you
shouldn’t bring. Rifles and machine guns are a no-no. Siren Head has the unfortunate combination
of being rail thin and lightning fast, and as a result, you’re unlikely to land a shot
on this thing unless you have John Wick level marksmanship skills. And let’s be honest here, folks, none of
us do. And with a machine gun, you’re also unlikely
to hit the beast, as well as probably scare it into hiding with the noise of sustained
gunfire. Unless you plan on going full Joker and burning
the forest down with Siren Head inside - which, by the way, we don’t recommend - leave the
machine guns and Molotov Cocktails at home. In terms of firearms, we’d recommend arming
your party with some sturdy, reliable pump-action shotguns with a nice, wide spread. Considering Siren Head is likely to be unseen
until it strikes, you’ll want a defensive firearm where accuracy doesn’t matter quite
as much. If the entity does attack and you’re lucky
enough to land a shot at centre mass, even if it doesn’t kill it, it’ll likely reduce
its speed and combat effectiveness. A battle with Siren Head is less likely to
be a straightforward one-on-one confrontation, and more like a tense and deadly game of cat
and mouse. If possible, you’ll want to equip yourself
and your team with body armour - with durable stab vests probably being your best option. We don’t exactly know how Siren Head kills
its victims, but it’s unlikely that it’s with a well-concealed Glock 40, so ballistic
armour wouldn’t do you much good. Taking a leaf out of Silent Hill’s book,
equipping each party member with a radio is also a good idea. And we’re not even talking about communication
here. We already know that Siren Head has the ability
to disrupt any kind of audio technology, but while this seems like a strength, it can also
be exploited as a weakness. Strange audio disruption can be used to track
the beast, and the more messed up the transmission becomes, the closer you are to your target. To find where Siren Head is currently located,
your best bet will be using records of local disappearances to triangulate the general
position of his whereabouts. He’s been known to lurk in forests, abandoned
graveyards, mountainous regions, and occasionally suburban neighbourhoods with street lamps. Focusing your attention on streaks of disappearances
in these areas will probably be your best bet at setting up a Siren Head encounter. Finally, battle tactics - What actions will
you need to perform in order to make sure this encounter goes your way? We recommend designating one member of your
Siren Head hunting party as bait, and sending them out around thirty to fifty feet in front
of you, mimicking the kind of isolated prey that Siren Head typically goes for. The rest of you will want to maintain stealth
to ensure that the entity doesn’t realise it’s being led into a trap. If it realises what you’re doing before
you have a chance to spring your trap, then at best, it won’t show, and at worst, you
and your party are in real trouble. If you have time, utilising booby traps like
bear traps and pits could also potentially increase your chances. Siren Head is an agile creature, but if one
of its feet happen to end up in a bear trap, it’ll almost certainly slow it down a little. Like almost any combat engagement, the decisive
moments of the battle will likely only boil down to a few key moments when everything
unfolds. If Siren Head does indeed attempt to take
the bait, or gets caught in one of your traps, you and your hunting team can’t hold anything
back. Once the creature is in your sights, it’s
time to blow it to smithereens. If your team all train their shotguns on the
creature and give it hell, then chances are, it won’t come out feeling swell. Even if you only manage to wound the creature
and it retreats, you can turn the tables and give chase as the predator becomes the prey. If you’re relentless enough, you may even
be able to chase this creature down and finish it off once and for all, and forever rid the
world of the horror of Siren Head. And all it took was a little planning, team
work, and firepower to finally win the day. It’s just a real shame that, even without
Siren Head, the horrifying monster mythos of Trevor Henderson has plenty more nightmarish
entities that can still make you disappear. But that’s a problem for another video... Check out the rest of our You Vs playlist
