Rent Silent Hill. They succeeded at making a very creepy looking movie even though I didn’t like the ending (it was a little Twilight Zonish only without the moral implication).

This looks like the place to visit.

Apparently,the movie was loosely based,of course,from the story of this Centralia town. Oh,and a sequel is supposed to start filming after they are done with next Resident Evil movie(please stop!).

Weird. I actually just posted in the Turkmenestan thread that I had heard the Japanese game producers were inspired by the “door to hell” when they made the game.

Yeah…I’ve also read that they were influenced by the movie “Jacob’s Ladder” and some David Lynch movies. I definitely see the big influences from Jacobs Ladder in the storyline and some of the special effects used in that movie.

Big Boss. I have two words for you: ROAD TRIP!

lol…I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing this place.

And with us both being black, our chances of survival are…slim to none. But one of us would have to live. Probably me. I’d probably trip you and then run.

ROAD TRIP!

Just make sure you bring a broken radio and a weak-ass flashlight. I have the Benelli and Glock.

And I’ll make the black stereotype comments “Nah bitch, you crazy”. “Oh no she didn’t”
“What up with that?”

Bring lots of ammo.

Also make sure to bring a whole, cooked turkey. If the zombies start cutting you and inflicting a lot of damage on your powerbar, place the turkey on the ground and walk over it. You’ll somehow absorb it and be completely healthy.

Lol, that’s a given. The reason I’m not going today is because I need to load magazines now.

Cool, and I have a couple medical kits too. This procedure still works with those, right?

Of course not! That would actually make sense!

You’re best to bring a whole, cooked turkey for full life replenishment, but lesser foods like slices of pie, chicken drumsticks and hamburgers will replenish your life from 20-50%. The key is to place them on the dirty ground and walk over them to get the full effect.


Y’all just keep your eye out for this son a bitch.

Totally agree. They took the best (and creepiest) components from the game and translated them well into a decent horror film. Anytime I hear that siren, now, I look for the walls to start tearing away 'n shiit.

He’s slow but strong. The guy to look out for is the first monster from the movie with a huge asshole in it’s chest.

LOL, yeah you need at least a few of those to pepper the movie with. “I ain’t goin’ in there, you goin’ in there!”, “GOD DAWWWMMM you ugly!” and if you REALLY want to play it up, make some random references to “Mama’s sweet potato pie”.

The Hollywood law of African-American expendability indicates that, in an action movie with all other things being equal, the friendly comical black guy must die. Take that into consideration before pulling out the one-liners. You could be the tough black guy, who stands a far greater chance of survival.

Weird, I was just reading up on Centralia earlier this week. I’m down for a road trip!

For the most part the Silent Hill movie was a pretty good representation of the 1st game. Only major problems being that main character was a guy in the game and pyramid head was from the second game. Being a fan of the games I thought the movie was pretty decent and can’t wait to see the second one.

As far as that town goes I think it’s pretty crazy that they haven’t figure out a way to contain or extinguish the fire. “Hey we have a huge fucking fire underground! Lets go do another half-assed attempt to put it out since it really isn’t important.”

I got you with that one.

“If it bleeds, I can kill it.”

Would you run into an enclosed environment filled with toxic gases, which has an extraordinarily high potential to randomly fall in and crush you?

After having completed new miner safety training and becoming aware of the hazards of even a best case scenario, running headlong into a worst case scenario like that one isn’t very appealing.

Even if they tapped a local creek or water table and flooded it, that could potentially damage the surrounding watershed by creating a source of acid mine drainage, and fuck over an even greater area by contaminating the water source for an entire region.

All for very little to no gain what so ever, and no guarantee of success.

Glad I passed out before black guy pressure suckered me into your loose-cannon shenannigans.

That scene in the movie where the fiend rips that chicks skin off like a table cloth magic trick was really cool. Part of me would really like to check this town out and part of me is scared shitless and I’m thousands of miles away. Imagine pulling into a town and you seeing that sign.
