I like the "Silent Hill" movies (because I played the Video Games) and the movies are depicted in WV! I Live in Buckhannon. In my opinion Silent Hill should have been filmed here,During Strawberry festival. Lol around 4 am this town during a foggy morning looks like a Silent Hill. Its stupid that film makers are too lazy to Film I mean actually film here! But its "cheaper" to film in Canada, bastards!

Never met one in the area. Though, having seen the diets of some who needed money, I would not put it past someone in dire need. While we hear of it all the time, even more since the "zombie movies" started, there are few who practice it in the US, or in other nations. <br /><br />Inbreeding? Yes, this is a problem. In more than one family tree I have been looped in circles because a distant cousin married another. It wasn't uncommon in the 1800s, when most of VA and WV were filled with small towns and few families. Thanks to the war, there were even fewer men, so...<br /><br />The worst part was when I worked at a hospital in WV and everyone was related to each other except me. I may have understood, but the sexual relations that went on in the staff, again, who were related, bothered me. When they said it was a family business, they meant it!<br /><br />All in all, I prefer the area, sans people. But, being an outsider, I'm just not welcome, even though I have family there.

I spend a fair amount of time there and I am dissapointed at the truth of some of the sterotypes that are portrayed about mountaineers. Obviously the cannibalism is far fetched, but most of the other characteristics are pretty close to home. I have to admit that in my family and friends that I grew up with in pocahontas co., there is a different way of life , one that i was raised with. a difference in morals.(or lack there of)I don't say this with any type of vengence or hate, but dissapointment. after being away for so long, almost two decades, It is evident that there is a different set of standards for just what is acceptable behavior. It is inbred if you will, or ingrained may be better. in my family and circle of friends,there is incest, molestation, perversion, adultry is around 90%, and it seems that it is just o.k. these things are mostly laughed at and joked about. vulgarities are the common language, alchohol, chewing tobacco, cigarettes, are for all ages. In my younger years, i took great pride in some of these things as they gained status for me, now i am ashamed and embarresed at the fact that i was apart of some of them. when i come up to visit, it's like no one ever grew up. my sisters and their adult children, and many of my old friends who haven't moved out of the county, grown men women, still gossip about affairs, adulteries, drunken nights out with old flames, broken homes,... just gossip. To most of the United States, this isn't normal, just hill billies back in the sticks. <br />what is it that causes the culture? I would think that it is exposure. behavior passed down from one generation to the next. I got out in my twenties and married into a family with no connections, so that put me into a new way of living and thinking. I always felt that these things were wrong but when it is status quo, you tend not to care as much. "when in rome,..."<br /><br />rebecca, <br />if your first generation then maybe you haven't been exposed as much, and if your second or more then there is a good chance that we are related and you know exactly what i am talking about :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14956470.post-1678859173200715082011-06-17T23:25:13.940-04:002011-06-17T23:25:13.940-04:00I know the people in the film or people like them....I know the people in the film or people like them.

West Virginia is a beatiful place. I know there are real cannibals, but I don't think I have seen any yet to my knowledge. I hope and pray I never do. I have heard that there are inbreds here. But if you think about it, there are inbreds in every state. <br /><br /> AnonymousLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530238425113065289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14956470.post-12633643672736202042010-05-29T21:48:37.063-04:002010-05-29T21:48:37.063-04:00hey I'm from VA but a part that's very clo...hey I'm from VA but a part that's very close to WVA and I agree that this movie should be shown at snoeshoe to show the stupid rich/city idiots what could be roaming the backhillsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14956470.post-71365349310940495722010-01-05T22:23:26.643-05:002010-01-05T22:23:26.643-05:00then why did all of those people go freakin missin...then why did all of those people go freakin missing in the back country mountains from 1991-1998Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14956470.post-19336080839557217662009-10-22T18:15:56.748-04:002009-10-22T18:15:56.748-04:00WRONG TURN IS A GGGGRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAATTT...WRONG TURN IS A GGGGRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTT MOVIE!!!!!!!
