Stephen King's IT reference?
I can't remember where exactly, I think it's when you're following Lisa, but at one point on the Silent Hill streets you pass by a Chinese restaurant called the "Jade Palace"
I'm too lazy to skim through my copy, but I'm pretty sure there's a Chinese restaurant of the same name in Stephen King's IT, which would make sense seeing as how Silent Hill more resembles Maine in this one
also the memory of the drowned boy in the sewers also vaguely reminded me of IT (they float! they all float down here!)

Also the Red balloon before entering the gym. There's also the road named after Bachman which was Stephen King's pen-name before he became big.

Re: Stephen King's IT reference?
Actually, King used the Bachman name after he was already popular. He wanted to see if he could write successful books without his real name attached after he had become famous.parasitehill wrote:Also the Red balloon before entering the gym.

The first of the Bachman stories was in 1977 after King had already released Carrie, Salem's Lot, and The Shining which were all pretty popular.

Re: Stephen King's IT reference?
Really? I could have sworn it was the other way around :X I've read enough of his books, you think I would have kept the right info up there. Still shows correlation though.

^This was revealed in SH1, where all the streets are named after famous authors.

Re: Stephen King's IT reference?
Stephen King wrote some of the Bachman stories before he became famous, but they weren't published until later. I believe I read that Rage was the first novel he ever completed.

Re: Stephen King's IT reference?
Bachman came after King.
Anyway, between the drowned boy and the red balloon... I wasn't thinking of them at the time, but now that you mention it... good catch!

^He didn't create the pseudonym until later, but Rage and Blaze were completed before Carrie was ever published.

Re: Stephen King's IT reference?
^So were a number of his later published stories before his name became akin to a brand. What's your point?
