Hi fellow collectors, I think I just found my dream piece!!!
I am a huge, HUGE fan of
SILENT HILL. I have very fond memories of playing these games with the lights out, and the sound cranked all the way up to 11. I still vividly remember opening up my Playstation 2 brand new on Christmas morning, and the first game I opened up with it was Silent Hill 2. I love everything about this series... From the stories to the characters, all the way to the outstanding and unique music. Silent Hill is my true definition of Survival Horror.
One of it's greatest strengths is it's monster design. From Pyramid Head to the infamous nurses, and everything in between. It all has a special place in my heart. (It's too bad Resident Evil has changed genres, leaving SH as one of the few last standing horror games still around.)
Anyway, that's enough background on my obsession. I just purchased my newest item, and I want to show it off, and maybe ask the community for some help.
My Newest piece:
Silent Hill Screen used Nurses Outfit:
(P.S. Don't mind the mask that's circled as this pic was taken from another site where someone screen matched their mask.)

Here's the problem that I'm having and really need your help. I'm a bit of a noob at screen matching, and while it would appear to be the same one used, I just don't fully know. (The hat does appear to be a different one though, this is just for the dress)
I'm almost 100% certain the first picture (the one where the nurse has her back to the camera) is an exact match. Hard to tell because the Uniform in the pics form Propstore have a bit more blood marks and stuff. But as you can see it appears that there are too many spatter marks that match up in size, shape, and location. Since these are spatter marks they couldn't be duplicated on more than one costume right? Plus the sleeves appear to have been cut with the same jagged design.
The second pic is a bit harder for me to decide on. I does seem to have that same dark mark on the front, but not all the other marks seem to all match up...
I don't know. What is your guys's opinions after looking at the pics?
Also, the name inside the costume is "McDonald" Which, after talking with someone on yourprops.com who also owns one of these originals, should represent the name of the actress.
There where 20 girls who played Dark Nurses in the film and as such only 20 of these costumes where made. I checked on the IMDB to find the actress and NO ONE appears to have the name McDonald...
Here are the 20 actresses according to the IMDB:
1) Emily Lineham
2) Donna Milburn
3) Nadia Barosso
4) Noelle Boggio
5) Victoria Boland
6) Rhoslynne Bugay
7) Alicia Bundy
8) Carrie Clayton
9) Rachel Crowther
10) Zsuzsanna Cseh
11) Judit Kovacs
12) Stephanie Lauder
13) Chantelle Leonardo
14) Onika Ndukwe
15) Kat Olsen
16) Melissa Panton
17) Sylwia Pluta
18) Lisa Shaw
19) Tamara Smeaton
20) Nicole Ann St. Hill
So, uhh, no Mcdonald...?
It's confusing.
Any help?
1 hour later edit: I think I just came across evidence that BOTH pics are a match to the dress Propstore has. I was watching the behind the scenes videos on youtube. And the sixth one just happens to have the scene that first pic is in. It's at the 1:06 mark.

You'll notice she turns around just enough to see the side of the mask she's wearing. And it appears to be the same mask the girl in the pic who is waving is wearing. So that would confirm the both pics of the dress (front and back) is indeed the same dress.
Check it out.
This guy on Yourprops apparently has the mask that went with this dress:

In it's description he says Zsuzsanna Cseh wore the mask. So that would I think mean she wore the dress. But why would it say McDonald if Zsuzsanna Cseh wore it?
