"The lunatics have taken over the asylum, Cash! The only way to reason with these gibbering idiots is with a stick and a gun!"

- The Director

Mouth of Madness is the 11th scene of Manhunt, where James Earl Cash is taken back to Darkwoods Penitentiary to face his former fellow inmates called the Smileys, itself a psychopathic gang more dangerous than any previous Hunters yet.

Mission

A Smiley member

After leaving the Carcer Chem Factory, Cash is once again picked up by the Cerberus and taken back to the now-deserted Darkwoods Penitentiary, where he was formerly "executed" and he's instructed by Starkweather to kill the gown wearing Smiley and bring his body to the guard room, which is at the end of the scene.

First, he must escape the first room which is locked off by a mesh door and a Smiley guarding it. Cash turns on an electric chair with a victim tied to it behind a glass door to lure the first Smiley into the room, where Cash kills him and escapes.

Then he must reach the green houses, but there are a few Smiley members guarding the door leading to it and will lock the door if they see him (but only temporarily). After a shootout with several Hunters, Cash must then find a gas can to blast through a wall where the Smileys have bricked themselves inside one of the asylum's towers.

After getting into more dangerous shootouts, Cash then makes his way to the gown wearing Smiley, kills him, and brings the body (or the head if executed) to the guard room as instructed, where he leaves his weapons before continuing to the next scene.

Trivia

• This scene is named after the 1995 John Carpenter film In the Mouth of Madness.

  

  An earlier screenshot of the level having the Skinz as enemies rather than Smileys

• According to an early official screenshot, the Skinz were going to appear in this mission.
• If the player brings the final Hunter's Head rather than his body, Cash will be rewarded with an early Shotgun in Doing Time.
• There are a total of 25 Hunters in this scene.
• Inside the tower, where some of the Smileys bricked in themselves, graffiti can be found on the tower walls. One says: "What goes on inside a man's head? We'll have to f*ckin' see!". The other says: "I will give shit for your brains!".
• There's a glitch during this scene where most of the Hunters that are decapitated have their heads model change when they fall off from the body. One example is the Smiley guarding the door to the greenhouses, who wears a mask with a smile but leaves a mask with a frown if beheaded.
