More ugly, creepy things from Silent Hill

From Iwatchstuff, "Though I admittedly know fairly little about the source material, I've become completely obsessed with seeing what disgusting freaks they're going to bring out for the Silent Hill movie. Now, on the official site, they've posted shots of several characters I hadn't yet seen in stills, such as "The Nurses" and "The Janitor."

In addition to the stills, Sony has also converted the images into wallpapers and printable iPod skins. While I think it's nice of them to offer up these extras, couldn't they have put some more thought into the iPod skins? Look at the "Red Pyramid" one. Once the sections have been cut out for the iPod screen and scroll wheel, you're just left with the image of an arm and part of a torso. The "Dahlia" skin is just some clumpy hair. It's probably better that way, though, so when someone wants to beat you up for having some nerdy Silent Hill iPod skin, you can pretend it's a picture of Bob Marley instead. If they ask which picture, say it's the one where he's smoking a joint."

I saw this trailer the other night when I saw Slither. Looks spooooky. I love that the town is under a constant "snowfall" that's actually ash.

After it played, Mike mentioned that there's a real town somewhere that was abandonded when the coal mine caught fire. Apparently it's still burning decades later and the town doesn't get printed on maps anymore.
