“ | Officials have said after a month of searching that the kids can't be found. It was ruled out that one of the friends, Freddy Anderson, lured them out to the forest because he felt like they were holding him back in high school. That's right, Freddy. We all know what you did.

Siren Head, written in-game as Sirenhead, is the titular main antagonist of the 2022 indie horror game Sirenhead Southpoint by Isolation Interactive, based on the creature from the Trevor Henderson Mythos.
It is a massive creature that continually stalks the main character Freddy Anderson as he traverses South Point Meadows looking for his friends, who are implied to have been victims of the creature.
Siren Head is far more morally aware here than in the mythos, as it continually taunts and mocks Freddy, trying to get him to quit on his journey.
The Siren Head retains its appearance from the mythos.
Biography[]
“ | Holy sh-t… what the F-CK is that?! | „ |
~ Freddy Anderson becomes shocked upon first spotting the creature. |
Throughout his trip through the woods, Freddy will begin to hear varying noises throughout the woods, ranging from sirens, automated voices from a news broadcast, and screams to animal roars and growls. Due to the fact that there are no animals found anywhere in South Point Meadows in-game, it is very likely that all of the sounds he hears are played by Siren Head. After that, he will see a campsite with no one there and a tent with blood in it. Eventually, Freddy will see the creature and become terrified of him -- this is his first attempt to fight off Siren Head.
Every so often, Siren Head will jump from the shadows and chase Freddy Anderson. It is so fast that escape is nearly impossible, and being caught without a gun will mean certain death for Freddy. If Siren Head is shot by Freddy, it will let out a bellow and retreat momentarily, giving Freddy time to complete his objectives. In-game, it can crawl to reach for Freddy also, meaning that shooting it is his only chance of escaping him.
Later, Freddy will turn the radio tower on, and on his way, he will see one of his friends, (Sarah), lying on the ground dead. When the radio tower is turned on, it is revealed that Siren Head knew about Freddy's past and set him up by tricking him into coming into South Point Meadows. When Freddy goes back to the other tower, he hears a cop on the radio telling him he will take him home. After that, Siren Head taunts Freddy and tells him to sit on his back and wait, but to no avail.
Freddy is lured over to a bridge where the police were supposedly at, only to discover that it was blocked off. Just then, Siren Head emerges from the trees and chases him. Freddy runs off further into the woods, discovering a disgrated village from the 1790s. From notes left behind, he discovers that the village conducted rituals under the Order for the "Monarch of Nithorn". All who tried to flee were cursed into winding back to the village. Frank also discovers that the only way to defeat Siren Head was to destroy its three disembodied hearts.
Suddenly, he is attacked by a Windigo, revealed to be the sole survivor of the town who offers Frank as a sacrifice for Siren Head. He manages to escape and destroy Siren Head for good by shooting its hearts.
Alternatively, while Freddy walks to the factory, he will see lights from police cars in the distance, believing it to be the cops there to rescue him. But if he approaches, Siren Head will charge at him one more time in a surprise attack, ending the game and killing Freddy, as Siren Head was mimicking the cops.

Trivia[]
- Siren Head is far more morally aware here than in the mythos, as it continually taunts Freddy with an automated voice that speaks about him and his friends; at one point, it even tries to tell Freddy to give up entirely and just lay [sit] down (which, if the player makes Freddy give up, Siren Head will outright kill him).
- Siren Head can talk here with an automated voice from its head sirens.
- It is not known how Siren Head was able to mimic the cops who told Freddy to escape him.
- It is possible that the cops did come to save Freddy, hence the cars being there, but Siren Head killed them and waited at their cars for Freddy.
- One of the sounds Siren Head makes is from the 2015 Youtube video, "Cthulhu Attacks Chicago", by HollywoodScotty.
