Shout! Factory to release Silent Hill (2006) Blu-ray Collector’s Edition this July!

Posted By: Whitney   April 3rd, 2019 | 2:03 pm

Wow I can’t believe it we are going to get a new release of the Silent Hill Movie in the states!

Over on their Facebook page Shout gave some more details on what kind of content we can expect

**NEW TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT**

The 2006 horror hit SILENT HILL (starring Radha Mitchell and based off the popular game with the same name) is coming to Blu-ray this Summer from us in an all-new Collector’s Edition Blu-ray release!

Here are the early details we have at present time:

• National street date for North America (Region A) is July 9th.

• Release will come with a slipcover (guaranteed for three months after its original release date).

• The newly-commissioned artwork pictured comes to us from Devon Whitehead (Trick r Treat, Valentine, Sleepwalkers). This art will be front-facing and the reverse side of the wrap will feature alternate theatrical artwork (woman walking towards the town’s sign in the fog).

• Extras will be confirmed on a later date but we can confirm today this will be a 2-disc set and fully-loaded with extras. We are working closely with Director Christopher Gans.

Pre-orders on our site begin today which includes the Blu-ray plus a rolled 18” x 24” poster of the new art. The poster is exclusive to us and will be made at a limited-run:

I’m really excited since this probably means we will finally get all the extras that was released on the French Collector edition a few years ago.

Shortly after the 2006 Silent Hill film was released Premiere Props auctioned off a load of “screen used” props from the movie. Included in their large sale were several “Official Silent Hill Tourism Maps” that featured a map of Silent Hill on one side and West Virginia map on the other listing fun activities to do in Silent Hill during the 70′s.

For years I wanted to take a peek at the interior of the brochure as the pictures Premiere Props provided were too small to really make out much the details. Luckily, I was able to obtain a map prop from a follow collector for my own collection last week and thought it would be cool to scan it and share the contents online!

You can check out the contents of the map and see some of my own impression over in the

Voices in the Static #12 – Paul Jones Interview

Posted By: Whitney   January 13th, 2013 | 2:49 pm

In this twelfth episode me and my sister Sarah interview Paul Jones, special makeup and creature effects designer on the Silent Hill movies! We learn how Paul got started in the make up effects field and his experiences working behind the scenes. Since we are discussing his work please note that there are unmarked spoilers regarding characters and plots for both Silent Hill films within the interview.

I want to give a big thanks to Paul Jones for taking time out of his busy schedule to speak so candidly with me. It was a real honor and I hope you all enjoy 🙂

Sooo we made a Silent Hill the Movie Fan Commentary…

Posted By: Whitney   January 7th, 2012 | 7:05 pm

Cj from Rely on Horror sent me Silent Hill on Blu-ray for Christmas and I suggested that we watch it together over Skype to break in the new Blu-ray player I got from Santa. Well one thing lead to another and we thought it would be fun to record our dialogue talking over the movie and we asked Michael from Silent Haven and Austin from Silent Hill Experienced to join us in the fun ( Destiny couldn’t make it 🙁 ).

All you have to do is play the file, wait for our cue on when and where to start the film, and then follow with us as we talk about each scene and make jokes.

Commentary by:

Cj (Rely on Horror)
Whitney (Silent Hill Historical Society)
Michael (Silent Haven)
Austin “MonkeyX” ( Silent Hill Experienced)
