se supone que esta es la lista d elos autores, pero no estoe seguro, bueno la seguire buscando le dejo esta por lo meintras
Most of the street names in Silent Hill are names of famous authors.
The Authors
Finney - Jack Finney, author of "Time and Again"
Bachman - Richard Bachman, Stephen King's pseudonym, who wrote "The Regulators"
Bloch - Robert Bloch, author of "Psycho"
Matheson - Richard Matheson, author of "I am Legend"
Ellroy - Jack Ellroy, author of the "Black Dahlia"
Bradbury - Ray Bradbury, author of "Something Wicked This Way Comes"
Levin - Ira Levin, author of "Rosemary's Baby"
Sanford - John Sanford, author of the "Prey' books
Simmons - Dan Simmons, author of "Song of Kali"
Sagan - Carl Sagan, author of "Contact"
Crichton - Michael Crichton, author of "Sphere"
Koontz - Dean Koontz, author of "Phantoms"
Midwich - name of the town in "The Midwich Cuckoos" by John Wyndham (basis for film "Village of the Damned")
Wilson - F. Paul Wilson, author of "Nightworld"
Also, someone on that discussion board (I couldn't find the message again, so I can't credit it) pointed out that the books by many of these authors have similar plot elements to the game, like:
1. In "Sphere" by Crichton, the characters in the story "manifest" their thoughts into physical forms much like Alessa.
2. In "The Regulators" by Richard Bachman, the little boy in the story creates deadly creatures with the power of his mind - again like Alessa.
3. (These next three I discovered myself) In "Phantoms" by Dean Koontz, the characters find themselves alone in a suddenly empty town. In a hotel they discover the words "Timothy Flyte - The Ancient Enemy" written on a mirror in a bathroom, which later turns out to the name of a book and it's author. Similarly, in Silent Hill, Harry discovers the words "Leonard Rhimes - The Monster Lurks" in the nightmare school (also in a bathroom) which turns out to be the name of a book and author.
4. On Bloch Street, somewhere across from the Church, the word "Redrum" is written on the wall in blood. The Shining, anyone?
5. In Rosemary's Baby, a group of people dabble in the occult and bring about the birth of a demonic child.
6. In the amusement park, the imagery of the carousels is very much like Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes."
7. Plus all the fog and mist, etc., is very similar to Stephen King's novella "The Mist"
Another thing someone pointed out in the guide by Black Cat and Gunsmith is that the teachers on the list in the school are names of members in the band "Sonic Youth" - Kim Gordon, Thurston Moore, and Leonard Renaldo.
Anyone who's seen the Evil Dead trilogy will instantly recognize Harry's chainsaw and shotgun (ol' double barrel). In fact there's a resemblance between Harry and Bruce Campbell (Ash). I'm surprised Harry never utters a "Groovy!" or "Come get some!" heh, heh.
Another movie that might give you Silent Hill flashbacks is "Jacob's Ladder". Skinless monsters, shifting realities, and one scene in particular: a wheelchair ride through a hellish hospital mental ward, all lead one to conclude that this movie acted a s yet another influence for those wacky creators of Silent Hill. Without giving too much away, the ending follows one of Silent Hill's endings to the very letter. Check it out and see for youreself.
