Here are some great Silent Hill images for you:


Silent Hill

It wouldn’t be Silent Hill without an endless supply of framerate-boosting fog.

Silent Hill

You can’t leave Silent Hill. Once you get in, the streets are all mysteriously blocked by construction and roads come to an unlikely halt at the edge of a chasam.

Silent Hill

One of the great things about Silent Hill is the way everything seems a bit out of date, but in an odd way. Some things are a quarter century out of style, but only look a few years old. Other things are current, style-wise, yet show decades worth of decay.

Silent Hill

Even when there aren’t any monsters around, Silent Hill is spooky because the town is intact, yet deserted. The power is on, but nobody is home.

Silent Hill

The town has a worn out feeling. Everything is neglected and shabby. Fences, gates, and walls make up a large part of the scenery.


Ok, I am just messing around here. These were all taken in my hometown on my way to church yesterday morning. All of them are untouched, except for #3 where I edited out a pedestrian and covered the billboard advertisements. The streets really were this empty, and it really was this foggy. It was a very strange, quiet morning and it made me think of Silent Hill.

    May I mention here that it was 7:30 in the morning? It’s always this empty at 7:30 am.

  2. MOM says:

    Not this empty on a weekday. This would be rush hour on a weekday. You would see a dozen cars in town.

  3. Mark says:

    And here I thought a new Silent Hill game had major improvements in graphics or something (not that I could really tell):P

  4. some kid says:

    Silent Hill looks just like the town I live in. Creepy.

  5. some kid says:

    I think it was me you cloned out of the photo.

  6. Bonnie says:

    Oh, that some kid! He’s been using my computer. The previous comment was me and I guess we all know who “some kid” is now.

  7. Cybrludite says:

    I was thinking, “That fog looks a little too good to be from a video game. It’s usually too homogenous…”

  8. Jman says:

    Looked too green for me. And fog not thick enough.

  9. AndrewNZachsDad says:

    Sure as shooting looks like the town from the Silent Hill movie, though… I actually enjoyed that movie ***braces for the inevitable slew of flames***

  10. Jesse says:

    To all the persons who’ve written that they wish Silent Hill was real:

  19. ben says:

    To all the persons who’ve written that they wish Silent Hill was real:
    1: it’s as real as you want it to be, and
    2: I intend to eventually, when I’ve actually got a career and money, to create a small replica of the town, maybe Alchemilla and the apartment building, or maybe have a townhouse built in the style of the one Maria was hunting for company in.
    So. Make your own Silent Hill, people! It’ll be great! A sub-community, or lack thereof, of little Silent Hills across the planet!

  20. Nazia says:

    Hey this is really cool, it looks like the really silent hill.

  21. blah blah says:

  24. sk says:

  25. Corsair says:

    Why on earth would anyone want Silent Hill to be real? It’s practically Hell on Earth.

  26. Renee says:

    I live in the town where Silent Hill was filmed; Brantford, Ontario.

    I actually walk past a lot of the stores you see in the movie. It’s really neat. ^_^

    Nice pictures, though. :)

  27. SHminer says:

    O.O Is this from a game? O.O

    well for us miners here in SH. we enjoy having the new internett connection.

    well have to DL slient hill game… this place is desserted so we cant buy it -_-

    XD

  28. Greg says:

    Probably my favourite part was the imagery, the creatures look surreal and the shots of the town were just as creepy looking, it just makes everything looks so dreary, the mixture of new and old (cars, shops… a barber shop) make it look like a dream, definitely inspiring movie, I would watch it again and again….well, it’s been 9 times and counting.

  29. tina says:

    hill.. I think every town has a bit of silent hill
    in them.. tina

  39. Drew says:

  40. Drew says:

  45. Boone says:

    I’ve never heard of Silent Hill, but the pictures look insanely similar to Claresholm, Alberta, Canada.

  46. Jason says:

    You all should visit KINGS MILLS, OHIO…..Home to PETERS CARTRIDGE FACTORY. I SWEAR…..TO….GOD that this place reminds me of SILENT HILL. I DO NOT go out in my yard after dark. LOL Theres history all over the net about PETERS CARTRIDGE FACTORY and the KINGS POWDER FACTORY and the city of KINGS MILLS that was built SPECIFICALLY to house the employees of “PETERS”

  47. Lizzie says:

    Silent Hill,amm good city

  48. Justin says:

    I have always wished I could visit Silent Hill, (The Silent Hill depicted in Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams) I would like to see what the town had in store for a messed up person such as myself. I have seen certain similarities in myself and James Sunderland. I have not murdered anyone though, to the best of my knowledge.

    Yes I am probably the strangest person on this site.

  49. well it Burn down 30 years ago but we dont know what cost the fire in Silent Hill but all the people were burn from the fire really did so for the right thing for all of us mr Tirrell Brendan Colonel B
