Silent Hill Influences Aum Shinrikyo and Cults [Re-Upload]
0This is a re-upload of a video I originally released in October of 2016. Unfortunately that video is no longer available to view so I've decided to re-edit and put it back online. I was really proud of the video at the time and still think its worth seeing so I've decided it needs to be back online.
It is part of a series of videos I did called Silent Hill influences. The series stalled after this point but I plan on going back to it in the future.
This video is based on possibilities, concepts and ideas not solid information about what the developers of the SH games have talked about. I'm extrapolating what seems the most likely based on similarities in tone and concept between two cults, one real Aum Shinrikyo and one fake The Cult of Silent Hill.
Now that that's out of the way enjoy the video and watch my other Silent Hill Influences Series!
Video Features discussion of the following games:
SIlent Hill 1
Silent HIll 2
SIlent Hill 3
Silent Hill 4: The Wiseau
Information about Aum was gleaned from the following Books:
The Cult at the End of the World by David Kaplan and Andrew Marshall
and
Underground: The Tokyo Gas Attack and the Japanese Psyche by Haruki Murakami
and the following documentary movies:
A (1998) and A2 (2001) by Tatsuya Mori
and the episode "Terror in Tokyo" of the documentary TV series Zero Hour (2004)
