Yeah, I'll agree that your site was better than mine...prolly cause I put very little effort into mine Would it be alright if I put my stuff together into a very simple site and then sent it all over to you so you could update it? Seems kinda awkward, but its easier for me to do the simple HTML code than to explain it to you.

Or I could have somebody else tell me what to put in the SH3 section and write it up later on my own when I get the site going... I only know HTML, so unless I pick up a tutorial site, I can only really do a site like the one in my sig (one with pretty writing and pictures, nothing fancy) But yeah, Im considering it Ive gotten my comprehensive list of all the movie references and crap that Ive found in SH1 and 2...so I can put those in sections. Also monsters, walkthroughs, save point locations, maps...all that kinda thing. So yeah, Im thinking about that... -edit- Also a background of silent hill (overall), media; tracklists, OST tracklists, Reimxes (offer a mirror for the OCR downloads), theories (preferably feasible ones, not like the "Harry = pyramid head" ones) -edit2- More silent hill 2 discussion... If you notice, at the opening of the street that has the apartment buildings in it (Katz street, I believe) there're police barricades across the end. The little barricades with "POLICE! DO NOT CROSS!" tape. What significance do you suppose this has?

so yeah, I seriously am considering this silent hill fansite now... There are two problems. 1) I havent played SH3 and subsequently don't know it inside out like the other two. 2) The only material I have (images of monsters and such) would be taken from other peoples sites, which Im sure is breaking all kinds of laws.

Request time! Since dustfungus appears to be down, i ask you guys for a certain sound file. I need a clip from SH1...namely Cheryl/Alessa going "NO!...I DONT WANT TO!"

Ive been thinkin bout settin' up my own...

How is it that SSBM has a ~100 page thread, but Silent Hill (y'know, a GOOD game) has very little interest? Okay, things to talk about... Some more movie references which you may have missed... Lisa Garland is the Nurse from The Exorcist 3 who gets sheared (screenie below. Hardly the best image, but in the other pic I have, her head looks squished) Eric Gein (AKA: Leatherface from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre) is one of the patients in brookhaven hospital (Eric Gein was obviously based on Ed Gein...and in some versions of SH2 Eric apparently becomes Ed) James and Mary's room in the lakeview hotel has the same number as a special room in an episode of the twilight zone. In this episode, a girl who was staying in a hospital had recurring nightmares about monsters coming from hospital room 312. The ending shot shows the girl and her folks leaving the hospital as the doctors look on going "312...room 312? ROOM 312 IS THE MORGUE! SHE COULDNT POSSIBLY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THAT ROOM!" some people have said that the Lakeview hotel is a reference to the Overlook hotel from the shining...but I wouldnt really follow that one too much, cause Its kinda tenuous...

4th July 2004...

More ideas from Eccles. It has been established that all things in silent hill happen because of Alessa Gillespie. This explains why everything in the hell version of the town in Silent Hill 1 appears to be burned and charred. This also explains why everything in the hell version of the town in silent hill 2 (if you can call it that, since you dont really go to hell like you do in SH1) is water damaged and/or burned. Think about it, when Alessa's house burned down the fire brigade would have turned up to put the fire out (in the unreleased Com-X graphic novel, it's the fire brigade who find the charred corpse of Alessa and the new baby that it produces) which is why everything is burned and water damaged. This also fits in with the theory that SH2 took place before SH1 (putting the UFO ending aside, cause the UFO endings are just silly ). When put into the hospital, Alessa would feel sorry for Mary and would sympathise with her (being a disfigured human and all) so she'd also hate James for being mean to mary, especially when he killed her. Thus she'd call him back to have her revenge on him. since she was younger, she wouldnt have the ability to send him to hell just like she does with Harry (though Im increasingly of the opinion that she doesnt mean to send harry to hell) but she CAN manipulate things to a certain degree...that's why the hotel ends up burned and water damaged when youre coming to the climax. (Same deal with Blue Creek apartments, since theyre water damaged and burned somewhat) -edit- Also, what do you suppose is the significance between the weird hissing noises heard in Pyramid Heads operating theatre and again in Marias Jail cell?

Now THAT would be cool! Not really...I mean, you wouldnt be able to move

We've explained why Laura doesnt see monsters! She isnt in silent hill for the same reason everyone else is -edit- And as for the fairy: no, I didnt play SH3 yet. currently I dont especially want to...

Fairy? Silent hill 3 is sounding more and more like a war crime every day

Me too Now. New angle... Has anybody found any movie/book/whatever references in Silent Hill 2? Ive only found 2 so far. The scene with Pyramid Head and the two mannequins in Blue Creek is a homage to the rape scene in Blue Velvet. There's also a Lord of the Rings joke in there when, in Brookhaven, somebody writes about losing "their precious ring down there" and not wanting to go back.

Sending.

And? and: dont read too much into the endings And: listen to starzander. I love that song...

One of the endings of SH3 implies that the town got razed to the ground...

In the ending she doesnt shoot herself, she throws the revolver over the wall where you meet Laura

Its a simple enough question.... Why does eddie talk about the police doing things in town when there are no cops...

Here's one to make you think... Why does Eddie talk about the cops? Do you suppose that's his punishment for killin those guys? Perpetually chased by cops always 2 steps behind?

Theory +1 On the silent hill soundtrack, the track which plays when Maria dies is entitled 'Magdalene' Now, I dont know how many people know their bible stuffs...but Mary Magdalene was of the people who found Jesus had come back to life. Mary Magdalane, see? (Mary!) And in some stories, she's called Mary of Magdalane (or Maria Magdalane!) Just something fun to think about. Have I mentionned the silent hill medley I penned in ICT today?

Because Maria isn't meant to be seen by anyone else. Of course, this doesn't explain why you can see angela's nightmares (Bedmen)

That doesn't mean he didn't put an end to his misery by shootin him in the head from behind... he's a madman afterall... Again I take evidence from the silent hill DVD... The character designer says that the guy in the chair is James. now, we all know that, right? Weird dead guy in the chair is James' polygon model... But the character designer also goes on to say that this wasn't a trick used to save polygons...this is one of James' nightmares which has come true. Also, it represents dying in front of a television...as does the little bit in Room 312 later on in the game. Maria dies so many times because that is James' punishment for killing Mary. Silent hill 2 is symbolic in the way that each character has their own personal demons to fight...look at the bedman that attacks angela... Each character is being punished for murdering somebody (or something)...and because James feels bad about killing Mary, he's forced to see her die over and over and over... -edit- As for where maria came from...the X-Box version of the game explains it in the "Born from a wish" scenario... She represents James' desire to see mary again...but also represents his punishment, as I said just now.

Oh yes...a notice to whoever it was wanted to know who that track came from in the SH2 soundtrack that wasnt in the game (Terror in the depths of the fog)... It's on the DVD that comes with the game. At the part when it talks about casting the voices of the characters. ...just thought you might like to know.

I say, that's dash cunning of them...

the solution is simple. Look in the manual for the last names.

Laura DID lock the door, though... James tried it and it wouldnt open
