Cry of Fear Wiki


The Hanger is an enemy in Cry of Fear, encountered in the forest area in single player campaign and co-op mode, warned by a sign that says "Watch out for the Trees".

About the Monster

The hanger is not much of a monster, but more of a hazard and a screamer. They appear while they utter a blood curdling, feminine scream and drop from random trees with nooses around their necks. When Simon passes under them they fall, and the fall may damage Simon if they hit him.

They can also be seen in Chapter 8, after Simon kills himself. While you venture Simon's twisted and sick mind, you'll come across with many of these, hanging from nowhere.

Relevance to Simon

The Hanger represents Simon's urge to commit suicide by hanging himself.

The Hanger first appearing in the Deep Forest also may imply how he wants to die alone, without anyone seeing his corpse; although this might be a stretch.
