silent hill? an actual town

[assasain]

soo me and my friend were watching silent hill... big fan of the games/movie....

and were wondering if the town actually existed or if there was a similiar town in which its based off of? I tried searching the web but couldn't uncover anything...

can anyone help me out?

Kind of off topic, but I still don't understand the end of the movie. The way I understand it, the mom and daughter died in the car crash in the beginning and for the main part of the movie they're in some sort of hell or purgatory? Then at the end they go home and they're there in spirit but not physically since they're dead?

YES! It is based off of a true story. There is a town that has a burning coal mind beneith it that is deserted and is closed off. I will try to find it for you.

in a sense yes..... but it has to do with the evil spirits in the town itself more i think

No, it is not real at all. He used Centralia as an inspiration for the setting.

I'm a big fan of the series. I also liked the movie, wasn't perfect, but they did what they could with the time alloted. IMO it should have been a wayy longer movie, a series of movies maybe.
