How Do Other Dimensions Work In The Entitys Realm?
I'm mainly referring to the Upside Down and Silent Hill. We know they exist because Demo can traverse the Upside Down and everyone can traverse Silent Hill. Since Silent Hill is controlled by something (I think its the sun goddess), does that mean the Entity has to make a deal with them or can she just replicate it in her own realm? Or do the dimensions overlap? Also, are there any other dimensions in the Entitys realm or is it just those 2?

There are all of the sub realms, of which the upside down is 1 of 7 (6 listed in the link).
The Dream world (used by Freddy) and the Spirit world (used by the Nurse and Wraith) exist on a continuum with the Ethereal plane (used by the Spirit) existing in the middle.
Those in the Spirit World and Ethereal plane cannot interact with those outside of it. Those inside the Spirit world (but not the Ethereal plane) are also vulnerable to lightburn.
The camp fire and the void are both 2 different limbo's, one for Survivors who still have hope and will be sent in for another trial. The other is for Survivors that have lost all hope and are discarded, escape is only possible through the use of putrid serum as per Virgo.
The upside down is similar in function to the Dream world Spirit world continuum however unlike those the Upside down doesn't copy the environment of the trial and only copies the portals and auras.
Finally there is the map itself, not listed in the set of sub-realms as it is considered the main realm. It is of course the standard playable area all trials are played on.

Silent hill does not truly exist in the DBD world. Rather, all maps in general are mere copies created and thus controlled directly by the entity. So while the original silent hill may have been a special plane of existence controlled by a sun god, the silent hill we play on is technically an entirely different place and thus isn't under the jurisdiction of any gods.

Thank you! That was very helpful, I wasn't aware of all these planes. However, isn't it mentioned in PHs spotlight that he "Calls upon the forces of Silent Hill" to cage people? Does that mean PHs existence is a collaboration between the Entity and sun goddess? And since Silent Hill is a snap shot does that mean the Entity would need special permission in order to copy it? Thanks again.

I mean I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure copyright law doesn't cover planes of existance.
As for Pyramid Head channeling the power of Silent Hill, that's probably him channeling the REAL silent hill, since the Killers, unlike the maps, are the real deal and thus PH being connected to the real silent hill seems legit.
I haven't actually played the silent hill games however, so you'd likely know more about that than me regarding the details.

Ahh thank you, this should make sense within the lore of both Silent Hill, though PHs backstory is very strange and may not apply.

There's a theory that the silent hill map is actually an intrusion of the sun gods as well as the executioner (or some deal was made)
The map has chains holding it up, which some have taken as symbolism of it being sectioned off from other maps
The executioner's ability seems to actually harm the entity, at least on a surface level.

This, Midwich ingame is a distorted version of the original Midwich and the chains in the interior along with the seal/crest in the middle of the chains seems to be the Entity's way of "warding" itself from the Sun Goddess.
