I believe Dahlia is meant to refer to a flower. I think they nicknamed the case the Black Dahlia case because the 'starlet' was a brunette vs. being the typical blonde bombshell of the day.
What does "dahlia" (as in "Black Dahlia") mean?
How she got the name 'Black Dahlia' and more is explained on this page:

Burgundy pom pom Dahlia, white tulip, mini calla lily combo?
My colors are hunter green with chocolate and ivory accents. Any thoughts?
Here is a picture of the pom pom I am thinking of:

Burgundy pom pom Dahlia, white tulip, mini calla lily combo?
Burgundy and hunter green are colors that sound bad together, but actually work great, they're very rich and dark together, nice. I'm not sure about the chocolate though...where and how will that be used? Your bouquet sounds like it will look lovely.
Edit: thanks for the extra info. If you were thinking of switching up the color in your bouquet, how about incorporating the hunter green instead of the burgundy? It would get you away from the "christmas" type look, and pull out the girls dresses color. I carried in my bouquet accent flowers in the color of my girls dresses (soft yellow). Then I had accents of Ivy green on my centerpieces. Maybe you just have one too many accent colors? Skip the burgundy and stick with chocolate, hunter green, and ivory.
Reply:it would look cute with the ivory dress, but not with the hunter green color scheme. i would say no.
Reply:I'm a florist, and I've seen a lot of odd flower combos... but a dahlia is a very "eye demanding" flower... and they're very fragile... they will wilt and fall apart VERY easily... so you'll need to becarful with them. Their are other flowers that are 'big' that are eye catching, that aren't so 'eye demanding' and aren't Christmas... Calla Lilly's, roses, stargazers, Stephanus, bear grass, eucalyptus, alstromeria, heather all come in a wide variety of colors and they all came in many different sizes.... good luck!
Reply:I love it. I'd go without the white tulip though...you already have solitary flowers (the calla lillies) and the mix of a sphere and tube would just be sooo cool.
For little "filler" flowers, why not try green hydrangeas?
Reply:do you have a picture of your dress and the bridesmaids dresses? I am not a huge fan of green and red - but it could be nice if it was done right - so I don't want to say no!!!
Reply:I love all the dresses you've chosen! They're beautiful.
I kind of agree with your mother about the Christmas thing though...
What about a pink dahlia? I think that would look really nice.
Or this colour:

The other option would be to go the same flowers as the bridesmaids or to go with the green ones in your centrepiece.

Dahlia tuber question?
How do I store my tubers so they won't get too dry or mold? They are Dinnerplate Dahlias.
Dahlia tuber question?
the two former answers are correct but don,t let them freeze and try to keep on the dry side
Reply:The best way to store Dahlia tubers is like one would potatoes. The growers actually store them in dry peat moss. I would just put them in maybe a strawberry basket(for ventilation) in something dry like moss, shredded paper, or peat moss in a garage or shed that stays dry until time in your area for planting.
Good luck :-)
Reply:wrap them in paper and store them in carboard boxes

Dahlia problem.?
As a fair-weather gardener I have not been very active recently. And I have just found that the stems of a number of my dahlias have been cut (chewed presumably) near the tops of the plants. Are the culprits likely to be slugs/snails or black/green fly? (All are usually found in my garden about this time of the year.) If the pests are slugs/snails, why do they need to climb to near the tops of the plants when they could do their dirty deeds near the bottoms? Some of the leaves have also been chewed, but no caterpillars or butterflies have been spotted. Please advise. Thanks.
Dahlia problem.?
If they're slugs, you shuold be able to see a silvery trail left behind. Also, check at night with a flashlight, that will tell you for sure. You may also have leaf-miners as opposed to caterpillars. They appear on the inside tender part of the leaves where the females lay their eggs on the underneath of the leaves. Check for tiny black specks.
For slugs/snails you could put a collar-ring around the bottom of your flowers. Just cut them round out of cardboard, with a slit and hole cut in the middle, put on the stem near the ground. They can't climb up the plants. Diazon will control leaf miners - caterpillars too for that matter.
good luck
Reply:Japanese Beetles munch indiscriminantly making Swiss Cheese holes in leaves. They are about done now.
Snails and slugs will leave a lovely slime trail.
Grasshoppers also vigorously chew vegetation.
Reply:slugs do enjoy decaying leaves, but they also enjoy climbing up to find the tender leaves above. i spent countless nights hunting for them underneath the leaves of one of my vines which happened to be very precious to me because it is the larval host plant of a species of butterfly that i raise. if your problem is slugs, i suggest you hunt them too,...and spread a lime-barrier around your dahlia. they'll be safe from slugs.
Reply:Do you have deer around your home ??
They have not munched on my Dahlias but have had a snack on lots of my other plants.
Grasshoppers would be my second guess !!
Reply:Whatever's eating them is chewing at the top because that's where the most tender flesh is located. Down lower the stem is more tough and woody.
It could be a lot of things. Dig up one of them, put it in a pot and take it, along with one of the chewed off tops and take it to a good local nursery or to your local county extension agent. They'll have the best idea of the cause and the cure.

Dahlia flower growers, give me some specifics on what they like ?
I live in zone 7 in Or and have raised dahlias for years, but it never hurts to ask what they like, especially since I have them with weedcloth around them, how much water do they need ? I hear they are from mexico originally so they must like the heat and little water ? Our Or coast grows them huge so ???

They love to be fed and I use Miracle Gro or the equivalent.
Very hardy and can withstand the hot sun....Lots of water once they get foliage.
I also give them a Bloom Booster.
Reply:all bulbs love bone meal.

Dahlia & Canna bulbs?
I couldnt resist some deeply discounted bulbs at the nursery. I bought caladiums, dahlias, and cannas. I live in southern Florida. If I plant them now, will the dahlias and cannas grow and flower this summer? Its already in the upper 80's.
Dahlia %26amp; Canna bulbs?
I have planted all but canna's, they bloomed in the mid to late summer for me, i live in CT. Dahlias will usually bloom until early fall.
Reply:the cannas and caladiums will grow, I never had much luck in Florida with dahlias, not sure if it was the salt air, or the heat.
Reply:yes they will. in autumn

How would you describe actor William Finley's character George Tilden in Brian Depalma's BLACK DAHLIA?
In the film, George Tilden (William Finley) and Ramona Linscott (mother of Madeleine played by Hillary Shwank)(Fiona Shaw from HARRY POTTER) are involved in the Black Dahlia's (Mia Kirshner) horrific gruesome murder. In this one scene, Lee Blanchard (Aaron Eckhart) is attacked by George near the railing on the highest floor of a building, and a shaddowy figure with a switchblade approaches them (probably Madeleine) and slits Aaron's throat while George holds the convulsing detective with the garrote. The struggle causes George and Lee to fall to their death. Bucky Bleichert (Josh Hartnett) watches helplessly. It was an intense scene.
How would you describe actor William Finley's character George Tilden in Brian Depalma's BLACK DAHLIA?
I would describe him as either vicious or ruthless (or both). He was even worse in the book.
Reply:As I remember it the recently released Georgewas there to kill Aaron for a frame up Aaron sent him to prison for because George used to beat his wife who Aaron was having sex with and Bucky was also infatuated with. The truth came out when the money was found in Aaron's possession. The fact was that George was a criminal and a wife beater but Aaron was not innocent in this matter either, and probably neither was his wife. BTW, Aaron was no sweet heart himself as Bucky's missing teeth could attest to. So, I see George as a mixture of cruelty and outrage provoked....

I loved you, you made me, hate me.
You gave me, hate, see?.
It saved me and these tears are deadly.
You feel that?
I rip back, every time you tried to steal that.
You feel bad? you feel sad?
I'm sorry, hell no **** that!
It was my heart, it was my life, it was my start, it was your knife.
This strife it dies, this life and these lies.
And these lungs have sung this song for too long, and its true I hurt too, remember I loved you!
[Chorus - Tha Producer aka Da Seducer:]
I've , Lost it all, fell today, It's all the same
I'm sorry oh

I've , been abused, I feel so used, because of you
I'm sorry oh
I'm sorry no

I wish I could I could have quit you.
I wish I never missed you,
And told you that I loved you, every time I ****** you.
The future that we both drew, and all the **** we've been through.
Obsessed with the thought of you, the pain just grew and grew!
How could you do this to me?
Look at what I made for you, it never was enough and the world is what I gave to you.
I used to be love struck; now I'm just ****** up.
Pull up my sleeves and see the pattern of my cuts!
[Chorus]
[Bridge - Tha Producer and Shady]
Seems like all we had is over now you left to rest.
And your tears are dried up now, you just lay without a sound.
Seems like all we had is over now, you left to rest.
And my fears are over now, I can leave with my head down.

And your tears are dried up now, you just lay without a sound.
Seems like all we had is over now, you left to rest.
And my fears are over now, I can leave with my head down.
[Chorus]
hope these are right
Reply:I loved you, you made me, hate me. You gave me, hate, see?. It saved me and these tears are deadly.
You feel that? I rip back, everytime you tried to steal that.You feel bad? you feel sad? Im sorry,
hell no **** that! It was my heart, it was my life, it was my start, it was your knife. This strife
it dies, this life and these lies. And these lungs have sung this song for too long, and its true I
hurt too, remember I loved you!
(Chorus)
I've , Lost it all, fell today,It's all the same
I'm sorry oh
I'm sorry no
I've , been abused, I feel so used, because of you
I'm sorry oh
I'm sorry no
I wish I could I could have quit you. I wish I never missed you, And told you that I loved you, every
time I ****** you. The future that we both drew, and all the **** we've been through. Obssed with the
thought of you, the pain just grew and grew! How could you do this to me? Look at what I made for you,
it never was enough and the world is what I gave to you. I used to be love struck, now I'm just ******
up. Pull up my sleeves and see the pattern of my cuts!
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Seems like all we had is over now you left to rest.
And your tears are dried up now, you just lay without a sound.

Have you read James Ellroy's LA quartet:The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, LA Confidential, White Jazz? Great?
The four books are all about the bad men who ran The Los Angles Police Dept in the 50's. They are great as police procedurals, wonderful poetic prose. The Black Dahlia is a true case:LA's longest unsolved murder case; the other three follow the basic same themes; 3 good/bad men up against a system that they are struggling to control but in which they increasingly become more and more mired. They are violent but not in a gratuitous manner; a rough kind of justice is served, but those who live by the sword in Ellroy's world die so.
Have you read James Ellroy's LA quartet:The Black Dahlia, The Big Nowhere, LA Confidential, White Jazz? Great?
Yeah, Ellroy is pretty great isn't he? I read them a long time ago and sort of forgot about them, thanks for reminding me.
Have you read Clockers, by Richard Price? That's another fantastic book.

What do you think of the name Dalhia (or Dahlia)?
It's origininal, isn't it? "Dahlia" is a fower from Mexico (look at this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:AKITA... !
What do you think of the name Dalhia (or Dahlia)?
The name dalhia is a pretty good name. In my country thats the name of a certain flower thats comes with different colour. Very lovely and nice,
Reply:personally i dont like it, its too old fashioned for me, but if you love the name then go for it =)
Reply:I wouldn't use it for my child. It's somewhat original.
Reply:i heard its an Arabic girl name, and it means the vine tree when it covers a big area
Reply:It's absolutely awful! I cannot think of a worse name for a child. Mind you, there is always Buttercup I suppose. I hope you don't call her any of those - poor kid.
Reply:Great for a flower.
If it's for a kid, poor little thing. Don't you remember school, when kids with unusual names were picked on?
Reply:When being creative with the spellings, think ahead to the future.
Will the person having that odd spelling need to spell the name every time, to everyone?
Most people don't think of this when making odd spellings of names for their children.
Then, the children suffer by always having to spell the name for paperwork and people.
Reply:Sorry, but I really hate it.
Reply:Neva heard of it till the movie the black dalhia. It sound good . Then you can tell her shes named after a flower and a movie
Reply:It's different!

Reply:Nope. Uh Uh. Sorry. I don't like Delilah, either. She did nasty things to Sampson.
Reply:i think it is pretty
Reply:I like the name but because I know the killing and movie it reminds me of The Black Dahlia.
I love unique names and if you look at the top baby names they have changed so much in the past 3 years, its not just emily and micheal now its Aiden Addison and Kaelyn.
It's tough because you want to give your child something to be unique in a so perfect society. But you don't want them to be teased, even though I never hear teasing about names it was more about appearances lol
Good Luck
Reply:The "Black Dahlia" was a famous murder victim in the 1940's. Her killer was never found. I wouldn't call my daughter that name!

Did any one read Daddy wa the Black Dahlia killer ?
i wanna order it %26amp; i read the reviews and people said it was badd. %26amp; also are the pictures of the murder in there because i saw them once %26amp; would not like to see them again. and also is there any other black dahlia books that you recomend ?
Did any one read Daddy wa the Black Dahlia killer ?
The best Black Dahlia book I've ever read was called "Severed: The True Story of the Black Dahlia Murder" by John Gilmore, as far as not being able to witness the crime scene photos - almost all the books show them. It's inevitable. Shock factor. But most books keep them lumped together in the middle of the book, and if you really want to avoid them, you can skip the middle of the book, all the glossy pages, where the photos are, and just read the print.
Anyway, if you're interested, here is a link to the book:

It's a great noir, but I wouldn't say it was one of the best dramas ever made. It's been probably close to 25-30 years since I saw it, but Ladd and Lake were great.

Does anyone who's seen The Black Dahlia understood who Georgie was?Please explain to me too!?
SPOILERS TO FOLLOW
I know georgie was the one who killed Lee(Aaron Echart) and was arraneg a meeting with Dahlia,but what was his relationship with Madelein's (Hilary Swank)family?
Does anyone who's seen The Black Dahlia understood who Georgie was?Please explain to me too!?
If you're talking about the guy that killed the Dahlia (in the film), I think they were trying to say that he was the real father of Madeline. But I don't really know.
It was a really confusing and botched movie.

What is the best way to store dahlia bulbs when you dig them up?
I have planted dahlia bulbs for the first time this year. I can't wait to plant more varieties next year! I live in northwest Wisconsin on Lake Superior.
What is the best way to store dahlia bulbs when you dig them up?
Dig up the dahlia bulb with a shovel, be careful....with your hands, break off any new corms for next year...wrap in news paper...put each into brown paper bag...store in cool dark place..
..on valentines day I mist the bags
Reply:Dahlias should not dry out completely , so store them in plastic bags with a few holes punched in them. Place an equal volume of vermiculite or peat moss in the bag to absorb the moisture given off by the roots. The acidity of the peat moss also tends to keep disease organisms to a minimum. The prepared bags should then be kept in a dry dark location at a temperature of 45-50 degrees
Reply:I shake off the dirt and put them in a paper bag, label it and leave in the cellar (or a garage if you have one!) They shouldn't freeze but like to be cool so they don't dry out.
Reply:I just dug mine up yesterday. I wrapped them in newpaper and put them in a brown paper sack that I stapled shut.
Reply:I store mine in a container of wood shavings or sawdust. Pet supply stores sell shavings by the bale as animal bedding. Store in a cool place, but not freezing. They may be starting to sprout in Spring before you are ready to plant, so handle with care.
Reply:i tend to wrap all my bulbs in newspaper and then store them in a dark, cool place... such as the basement.
I am on Lake Superior too!

What Is The Best Way To Store Dahlia Tubers...?
...just dug up my dahlia and have found I now have a profusion of tubers - I grew them from seed so have no experience with tubers and storing over winter. Can anyone give me some advice please? Thanks in advance.
What Is The Best Way To Store Dahlia Tubers...?
Remove as much soil as you can.. Do not damage the tubers . Cut the stems off a couple of inches away from the tuber... Dust with flowers of sulphur and keep dry.. Keep out of frost also.... A shed is fine... Some people hang them upside down. I used to keep them in trays of dry peat. In spring cover the tubers with a couple of inches of peat or compost, and water. When shoots appear they can be put into pots prior to planting out in April/May or you can take cuttings to increase your stock.
Reply:At the end of the growing season, tuber-grown dahlias should be dug and stored for the winter in a frost-free place. Immediately after the first frost and after leaves have blackened, cut the stem back to about six inches above the ground. Then use a fork to loosen the soil around the tuber and lift out of the soil. Remove surplus soil from the tuber.
Place the tubers upside down in a dry airy space for about two weeks. This allows moisture to drain out of stems. The tubers need to be completely dry before they are stored for the winter. Next store the tubers in trays of dry sand or peat moss in a cool, dry cellar or storage area at about 40 to 45 degrees F. Never store at a much higher temperature, as dahlia tubers will dry out and shrivel rapidly.
Another method of storing includes placing tubers in a heavy-grade, black plastic bag without additional packing material. Then seal the bag. This will prevent the tubers from dehydrating. Keep the tubers in a frost-free area. The danger exists, however, that they will sweat and rot.
Inspect the tubers every few weeks during the winter to check for disease or shriveling. Cut off any diseased parts and, if the tubers have shriveled, place them in a bucket of water overnight to plump them up. Allow them to dry thoroughly before returning them to storage.
Reply:Hello!,
Yes the best way to store the tubers is in a shed in a wooden tray with newspaper on the bottom (to soak up moisture), Cover any corms, tubers with a sprinkling of yellow sulphur (they sell this at garden centres) this prevents rot and also keeps nasty bugs at bay that might eat them!. Then plant out in Spring
Reply:Dust the tubers with flowers of sulphur, wrap them in a good few layers of newspaper and store in a cool place but away from the frost.
Reply:bring them indoors by a window until late spring spring then you can replant them outside do this for a couple of years until they're strong enough to go in the green house over winter that's your best bet or put them in a green house with a heated mat under the pots choice is yours
Reply:We live near the south coast. All we do is leave them in the ground and cover them with a thick layer of mulch.
They over winter without any problems.
Reply:In a shed or garage watch for frost on them
Reply:I put mine in a cardboard box with perlite (the styrofoam tpye stuff you get in a bag at the garden center) and store it in a cool dry place. I have a basement, but if you don't, try popping them into a mailing envelope filled with perlite and put them into your cripser. They need to be in a cool dark place and be kept in something that will keep them from getting moist and molding or rotting.
Replant them when the ground is first workable in the spring.

Do you know anything about a Dahlia Tree?
It is about 8foot,the trunk is the thickness and appearance of bamboo and at the top the flowers are identical to a dahlia the one I saw was a lilac colour.
Do you know anything about a Dahlia Tree?
I don't have any personal knowledge of the Dahlia tree, having never grown one, but there are some great websites listed below that may help you out:
http://www.suite101.com/print_article.cf...
"Best climate: Tree dahlias will flourish in most areas (including sub-tropical and cold regions) but flowering can be ruined by frosts.
"Care: Tree dahlias need a sunny spot, sheltered from wind and frost. They are generally pruned after flowering (in winter), when the spent canes are cut back close to ground level. They can also be pruned in early summer if a smaller and more compact plant is wanted. In December, prune the soft new growth by about one third to a half. Shoots will be 20-30cm (8-12") and should be shortened to 10cm (4"). Tree dahlias are simple to propagate. In winter select a piece of stem with one, or preferably two, nodes. Plant it horizontally, about 20cm (8") deep, and stand back."

I just saw "Cannibal Corpse", "Black Dahlia Murder, Goathwhore, and The Red Chord", last nite-10-2-07..
it was such an awesome show!! Cannibal Corpse opened up with "Unleashing the Bloodthirsty"..played the songs "I will kill you" " the pick- axe murders" "stripped raped and strangled"
"Hammer Smashed Face" "I *** blood" "Make them Suffer"
"Put them to death" "The Time to Kill is Now" and others.. i know that have some sick song names, but they were just brutal!!!.. and great to watch live...Goatwhore i've seen before with GodForbid, they Rawked!! Black Dahlia Murder was Insane, and the Red Chord, good as well.. Cannibal was my favorite part of the show though..if you are into this music at all and have an opinion on which of these bands is your favorite to listen to or see live, then give it.. the most descriptive will get the points they're after!

Whats your experience with a Tree Dahlia?
Someone posted a tree dahlia on ebay. I can't find anything when researching it on google besides that it is hard to find. Do you know something about them? Care, zone etc?
Thanks
Whats your experience with a Tree Dahlia?
I actually found 2 of these at a plant sale last spring. I took one and gave one to my mom.
We are both in zone 8. Hers took off and she planted it in front of the house. Mine didn't do well and then the dog pulled it out of the pot. :( My mom's was doing really well until this winter - we've had a lot of frost. So, we'll see how it comes back.
It's Dahlia imperialis and it's not very winter hardy. Here is a link to a site for more information on it. http://www.strangewonderfulthings.com/10...
It's not readily available in nurseries because it has a funny growth habit and doesn't look like much until it gets bigger.
Hope this helps you some. :)

Anybody looking forward to the BLACK DAHLIA movie?
Brian DePalma will be directing and it'll be a mix of fiction and true facts of the real story. Elizabeth Short was an aspiring actress that was found cut in half in a vacant lot in L. A. in 1947 - the murder was dubbed the Black Dahlia and went unsolved. It became the most notorious murder in California's history.
I'm looking forward to checking this out. It's rated R, so it might have some teeth. It's due in theatres Sept 15th. Starring Josh Hartnett, Scarlett Johansson and Hillary Swank
trailer: http://www.theblackdahliamovie.net/tease...

This story also reminds me of a close friend, she would dye her hair black like Snow White, but I would call her my Black Dahlia. She died mysteriously too, different circumstances.I miss her, and watching this movie, I will pretend she is there with me!

Can someone please explain the Black Dahlia movie to me? There's a spoiler in the question.?
So I just saw the Black Dahlia movie, and I have no idea what happened in the last 10 minutes of the plot. It was very hard to follow, and I don't understand why the rich snobby mother and that random dude savagly murdered Elizabeth Short. Can someone with a better understanding of the plot explain it to me. I'd greatly appreciate it.

What is a good middle name to go with Dahlia?
My husband and I are expecting our first child. We have chosen the first name of Dahlia, and our last name is Alexander. Therefore the child's name will be Dahlia (middle name) Alexander. We need help finding a cool middle name. We do not want something that is a typical name-- like Lynn or Marie. We are open to very unique names--- but they have to be pronouncable--- no dashes or apostrophes in the name. Ordinary names are okay too, as long as they are not too common.
What suggestions do you have for a middle name?
What is a good middle name to go with Dahlia?
We named our daughter, born in California 2002, Dahlia Eve! She is a wonderful girl and I think Dahlia Eve Alexander sounds nice. So I vote for that one, too. We were just checking on the computer tonight to see if there were any other Dahlia Eves in the world! We love the name Dahlia. Our other daughter's name is Leila.
Good luck with the birth and with the name choosing!

Reply:I do like the suggestion of Rose as a middle name..or how about Blue? Summer? Shay? Sweet?
Reply:Dahlia is a Spanish name of a flower. Alexander is English for Alejandro, Iskander, etc. So, a good middle name would be the Greek Daphne, so that her nickname would be Deedee Alexander! or the Spanish Gilda, with nickname DG or Janine, DJ.

How deep should I plant DAHLIA'S & what about spacing THEM??
I may have to re-dig/plant, as I planting them down in about 5.5-6 inches into soil %26amp; only about a foot spacing of 4 tuber [clumps] just now ..... should i replant them deeper,ect?
Noticed there's just a tad slight bit of clay in mostly top soil the area where I planted the dahlia's
Does it require a bit more SAND do you think?
ANd how many flowers should one estimate that each CLUMP would produce when mature in growth please?

Josh Hartnett in The Black Dahlia?
What did u think of Josh Hartnett in The Black Dahlia?
His perfomance was criticized and the movie got awful reviews. Personally, i think he was quite good in the movie. What do u reckon?
Josh Hartnett in The Black Dahlia?
I didn't like Josh Hartnett, then I saw The Black Dahlia and I think he's a good actor, but his other roles before Brian dePalma's film were worse than this. He plays the role of Bucky Bleichert very well, as a young cop that discovers Black Dahlia Murder's truth. I think he should accept better scripts, 'cause than he will became a better actor. The Black Dahlia is a great film, if it was in black and white, I'd think it is from the 40's. Camera movements, cinematography and the argument are also fantastic. Hillary Swank's very good playing the role of Madeleine. At the moment, I'm reading the original novel by James Ellroy and it's pretty good. If you like the film, you should read the book.

Reply:Who would have suspected that the murder of the Black Dahlia would be an subplot in this movie. Of course, it would have to be -- because there was no actual plot. Key characters are introduced mid-film, allegiances are so convoluted and under-developed that one is left confused over the emotions effused by the characters and really, what is up with Josh Hartnett's hair? It's like a buffed-up Marty McFly is playing the lead - however, Crispin Glover actually has acting talent.
The acting is all over the place and there are some great comedic scenes. Unfortunately, these scenes were meant to be dramatic - such as an open-robed clad Kay (Scarlett Johanssen) slamming the door as Marty McFly a.k.a Bucky (Hartnett) longingly gazes up at her.
The editing was dreadful - I don't think anyone knew which direction the movie was to take or which story-line was important. It seems that more concentration was put into over-developing the film-noir appearance of the movie (every time someone was driving in the car, it was raining -- really? it rains that much in L.A.) and dear God, the lazy saxophone soundtrack. Two hours of relentlessly contrived music playing in the background - it was so cliche.
In short, this is the worst movie I have ever seen. I am so disappointed. I love murder mysteries and film noir. This film is a sad attempt at both. Hilary Swank, who usually picks her projects well, must not have read the screenplay before accepting her role in this film.

My personal Fav in the movie has to be Hilary Swank, such a great talent ( Million Dollar Baby ) .

Dahlia sounds like a flower and that name existed long ago (as in 50 years). Come up with something more upper class and your child will appreciate it. Dahlia sounds "black" sort of like "crystal" and "jasmine". I don't want to be racist, but that is pure fact right there.

I dug up my dahlia tubers and put them in a paper bag on my porch for the winter. will they be ok to plant?
the temperature where i live got down in the single digits this winter. will my dahlia tubers be ok by me leaving them on my porch in a paper bag?
I dug up my dahlia tubers and put them in a paper bag on my porch for the winter. will they be ok to plant?
Most tender bulbs are called summer bulbs, but there are several varieties that bloom in the fall. Tender bulbs are cold-sensitive and may not be able to survive the winter in areas of the U.S. other than the Southern coastal regions, the Southwest or coastal areas of California. Unless you live in these climates, you will need to plant tender bulbs in the spring after the ground has warmed up and dig them up in late fall for winter storage. Some tender bulb varieties are elephant's ear, caladium, gladiolus, canna and dahlia.
Reply:Absolutely not . . . toss them and start over . . . in some of the more northerly USDA regions, dahlia tubers won't even survive the winter planted DEEPLY in the soil. You should be able to tell that they have perished . . . they won't be heavy and have that fresh "heft" like they do when bought new. Once these tender tubers have frozen, they will not bloom again. Next time, place them in a bag in your basement, or in a more protected area that doesn't get so far below freezing (32 degrees F.)
Reply:SHOULD BE OK BUT WHY LIFT THEM? LEAVE THEM IN

What's the black dahlia?
The Black Dahlia
Elizabeth Short was born on July 29, 1924 in Hyde Park, Massachusetts. Little did she know that 22 years later she would be the victim of one of the most gruesome murders America has ever seen. Elizabeth Short, who was nicknamed the Black Dahlia, was sadistically murdered in 1947 in California. This case is one of the most publicized and talked about in history. Elizabeth Short was brutally tortured and killed by Arnold Smith, who then deposited her body in an abandoned lot in Los Angeles.
The Black Dahlia was born in Hyde Park, Massachusetts to her mother, Phoebe Mae, and her father, Cleo Short. She had four sisters. Her father, Cleo Short, abandoned his family in October of 1930. She spent her summers in Medford, Massachusetts and her winters in Florida. She had many nicknames such as “Bette”, “Betty”, or “Beth”, and the widely known, “Black Dahlia.” Her friends gave her the nickname in her teens because of her stark black hair, all black clothing and
the dahlias, large bright flowers, that she wore in her hair. When Short was nineteen she moved to Vallejo, California to live with her father. The two moved to Los Angeles in early 1943, but Short left almost immediately due to an argument with her father. She was arrested on more than one occasion for underage drinking and after the second time was sent back home to Medford. Short soon returned to California and visited her hometown in Massachusetts every few months.
Elizabeth was rumored to have possibly been a prostitute, or “woman of the night” as she dated many men, and had many admirers. Some believe that this led to her murder, that possibly an ex-boyfriend or someone she may have turned down became enraged and murdered the young woman. It was later proven in her autopsy that she was born with a genital defect, preventing her from having normal intercourse, disproving rumors of her being involved with prostitution, or sleeping with many men. One career Elizabeth did pursue was acting. She dreamt of being a celebrity and living a life in the spotlight. She frequented celebrity hotspots such as nightclubs, and bars. She was also rumored to have an alcohol addiction problem.
Elizabeth never lived in one place for more than a few weeks. She often stayed in hotels, apartment buildings, boarding homes and private homes. Past neighbors, and owners of the places where Short stayed said she often didn’t pay her rent, or got behind very quickly. The last place she was seen alive was the
Biltmore Hotel the night of January 9, 1947 .
Elizabeth Short was found dead in a vacant lot on Norton Avenue, nicknamed “Lovers Lane”, in Los Angeles on January 15, 1947. Her body was found by Betty Bersinger, who was taking her three year old daughter for a morning walk on her way to the cobbler. It wasn’t difficult to spot Short’s body, as it was placed less than five feet from the sidewalk. When police arrived at the scene they saw a most horrific sight. A young woman who had been severed in half at the third lumbar of her spine. Elizabeth Short had been bound and tortured before she was murdered. Marks on her upper thighs, wrists, ankles, and abdomen show that she was bound by either rope, wire, or possibly both. Short’s hair had been hennaed and it was wet at the time that her body was discovered, also, her entire body had been washed clean. She had three inch cuts from the corners of her mouth towards her ears on both sides of her face. There were three large lacerations just above her right eyebrow and there were multiple cuts across her face. Elizabeth had been beaten in the head and suffered a brain concussion as well. Her breasts had been close to completely mutilated, there were large cuts on her chest, abdomen and groin, and she had been slashed from her vagina to her rectum. A criss-cross pattern had been cut into the pubic area, and Short had been repeatedly sodomized both before and after death. She had a tattoo of a rose on her left thigh. The skin and muscle where
Short had the tattoo had been completely cut away from her body. This section of skin had been forced inside the rectal cavity, and grass and her own pubic
hair were forced inside her vagina. Several small shapes had been cut from her skin, and were found nearby by investigators. After a five hour long autopsy, the final causes of death were determined to be a brain concussion, and exsanguinations, or, bleeding to death, most often from hemorrhaging. The injuries to the head and face were the main sight of the hemorrhaging. It is likely that Short was alive to be tortured, and cut in half, only to die after bleeding to death. Most of these actions are classified as sexually sadistic and the suspect is thought to have possibly been a sex fiend who had tried to have his way with Elizabeth, but was refused by her.
The main suspects in the Black Dahlia case were Cecil French, Daniel Voorhees, and Jack Anderson Wilson, AKA Arnold Smith. Arnold Smith was a thin man, about 6 feet 4 inches tall, who walked with a limp and had a long rap sheet for robbery and sexual offenses. This man went by Arnold Smith, one of the aliases for Jack Wilson. Arnold Smith claimed that a man named Al Morrison confessed to him all the details of how he murdered the Black Dahlia. Arnold Smith said that Al Morrison confessed that he had taken Short to a room in a Hollywood hotel. Short had been surprised that he (Morrison) was planning to stay in the room too and refused the alcohol he offered. She was uninterested in a fling with him, so Morrison
took her to a house on East 31st Street, where they had a physical altercation. Morrison knocked her out and got a paring knife, large butcher knife, and some
clothesline. When Short revived and tried to escape, he stuffed her underpants into her mouth and tied her up. He proceeded to stab her numerous times until she
expired. Then he cut her in half in the bathtub to drain her body of blood. He washed everything clean, then took her out and placed her in the vacant lot. Not long after he gave this story to the police, Arnold Smith admitted that he, himself, was Al Morrison and confessed once again to the Black Dahlia murder. Smith could not be charged without hard evidence because of the possibility that he was just another confessing sam longing for fame. Hard evidence could not be found within the hotel room that was mentioned because the room burned down and any evidence that there might have been burned with it. To this day it is believed that Jack Anderson Wilson, or as he is called, Arnold Smith, murdered Elizabeth Short. He knew all the details of the murder to make the scene and story complete. He also knew about things that were done to Elizabeth’s body that had not been publicized in the media.
The Black Dahlia was one of the most tragic murder cases America has ever seen, and the most gruesome as well. Arnold Smith heartlessly killed Elizabeth Short and degraded her by mutilating her body and dumping it in a vacant lot, only
to have the horrible incident publicized and viewed by many, it is most likely that this is exactly what the killer wanted.

My Black Dahlia
[The Server aka Endless Summer 2:]
I loved you, you made me, hate me.
You gave me, hate, see?.
It saved me and these tears are deadly.
You feel that?
I rip back, every time you tried to steal that.
You feel bad? you feel sad?
I'm sorry, hell no **** that!
It was my heart, it was my life, it was my start, it was your knife.
This strife it dies, this life and these lies.
And these lungs have sung this song for too long, and its true I hurt too, remember I loved you!
[Chorus - Tha Producer aka Da Seducer:]
I've , Lost it all, fell today, It's all the same
I'm sorry oh
I'm sorry no
I've , been abused, I feel so used, because of you
I'm sorry oh
I'm sorry no
[J-Dog aka The Flat Iron Chef:]
I wish I could I could have quit you.
I wish I never missed you,
And told you that I loved you, every time I ****** you.
The future that we both drew, and all the **** we've been through.
Obsessed with the thought of you, the pain just grew and grew!
How could you do this to me?
Look at what I made for you, it never was enough and the world is what I gave to you.
I used to be love struck; now I'm just ****** up.
Pull up my sleeves and see the pattern of my cuts!
[Chorus]
[Bridge - Tha Producer and Shady]
Seems like all we had is over now you left to rest.
And your tears are dried up now, you just lay without a sound.
Seems like all we had is over now, you left to rest.
And my fears are over now, I can leave with my head down.
[Chorus]
The black dahlia~ was a woman that was horribly murdered. Her name was Elizabeth short.
Elizabeth Short was murdered; the killer remains unknown. Her body was found on 15 January 1947 in Leimert Park, Los Angeles, severely mutilated and cut in half. Her face was slashed from the corners of her mouth toward her ears.
What's the black dahlia?
The Black Dahlia
Elizabeth Short was born on July 29, 1924 in Hyde Park, Massachusetts. Little did she know that 22 years later she would be the victim of one of the most gruesome murders America has ever seen. Elizabeth Short, who was nicknamed the Black Dahlia, was sadistically murdered in 1947 in California. This case is one of the most publicized and talked about in history. Elizabeth Short was brutally tortured and killed by Arnold Smith, who then deposited her body in an abandoned lot in Los Angeles.
The Black Dahlia was born in Hyde Park, Massachusetts to her mother, Phoebe Mae, and her father, Cleo Short. She had four sisters. Her father, Cleo Short, abandoned his family in October of 1930. She spent her summers in Medford, Massachusetts and her winters in Florida. She had many nicknames such as “Bette”, “Betty”, or “Beth”, and the widely known, “Black Dahlia.” Her friends gave her the nickname in her teens because of her stark black hair, all black clothing and
the dahlias, large bright flowers, that she wore in her hair. When Short was nineteen she moved to Vallejo, California to live with her father. The two moved to Los Angeles in early 1943, but Short left almost immediately due to an argument with her father. She was arrested on more than one occasion for underage drinking and after the second time was sent back home to Medford. Short soon returned to California and visited her hometown in Massachusetts every few months.
Elizabeth was rumored to have possibly been a prostitute, or “woman of the night” as she dated many men, and had many admirers. Some believe that this led to her murder, that possibly an ex-boyfriend or someone she may have turned down became enraged and murdered the young woman. It was later proven in her autopsy that she was born with a genital defect, preventing her from having normal intercourse, disproving rumors of her being involved with prostitution, or sleeping with many men. One career Elizabeth did pursue was acting. She dreamt of being a celebrity and living a life in the spotlight. She frequented celebrity hotspots such as nightclubs, and bars. She was also rumored to have an alcohol addiction problem.
Elizabeth never lived in one place for more than a few weeks. She often stayed in hotels, apartment buildings, boarding homes and private homes. Past neighbors, and owners of the places where Short stayed said she often didn’t pay her rent, or got behind very quickly. The last place she was seen alive was the
Biltmore Hotel the night of January 9, 1947 .
Elizabeth Short was found dead in a vacant lot on Norton Avenue, nicknamed “Lovers Lane”, in Los Angeles on January 15, 1947. Her body was found by Betty Bersinger, who was taking her three year old daughter for a morning walk on her way to the cobbler. It wasn’t difficult to spot Short’s body, as it was placed less than five feet from the sidewalk. When police arrived at the scene they saw a most horrific sight. A young woman who had been severed in half at the third lumbar of her spine. Elizabeth Short had been bound and tortured before she was murdered. Marks on her upper thighs, wrists, ankles, and abdomen show that she was bound by either rope, wire, or possibly both. Short’s hair had been hennaed and it was wet at the time that her body was discovered, also, her entire body had been washed clean. She had three inch cuts from the corners of her mouth towards her ears on both sides of her face. There were three large lacerations just above her right eyebrow and there were multiple cuts across her face. Elizabeth had been beaten in the head and suffered a brain concussion as well. Her breasts had been close to completely mutilated, there were large cuts on her chest, abdomen and groin, and she had been slashed from her vagina to her rectum. A criss-cross pattern had been cut into the pubic area, and Short had been repeatedly sodomized both before and after death. She had a tattoo of a rose on her left thigh. The skin and muscle where
Short had the tattoo had been completely cut away from her body. This section of skin had been forced inside the rectal cavity, and grass and her own pubic
hair were forced inside her vagina. Several small shapes had been cut from her skin, and were found nearby by investigators. After a five hour long autopsy, the final causes of death were determined to be a brain concussion, and exsanguinations, or, bleeding to death, most often from hemorrhaging. The injuries to the head and face were the main sight of the hemorrhaging. It is likely that Short was alive to be tortured, and cut in half, only to die after bleeding to death. Most of these actions are classified as sexually sadistic and the suspect is thought to have possibly been a sex fiend who had tried to have his way with Elizabeth, but was refused by her.
The main suspects in the Black Dahlia case were Cecil French, Daniel Voorhees, and Jack Anderson Wilson, AKA Arnold Smith. Arnold Smith was a thin man, about 6 feet 4 inches tall, who walked with a limp and had a long rap sheet for robbery and sexual offenses. This man went by Arnold Smith, one of the aliases for Jack Wilson. Arnold Smith claimed that a man named Al Morrison confessed to him all the details of how he murdered the Black Dahlia. Arnold Smith said that Al Morrison confessed that he had taken Short to a room in a Hollywood hotel. Short had been surprised that he (Morrison) was planning to stay in the room too and refused the alcohol he offered. She was uninterested in a fling with him, so Morrison
took her to a house on East 31st Street, where they had a physical altercation. Morrison knocked her out and got a paring knife, large butcher knife, and some
clothesline. When Short revived and tried to escape, he stuffed her underpants into her mouth and tied her up. He proceeded to stab her numerous times until she
expired. Then he cut her in half in the bathtub to drain her body of blood. He washed everything clean, then took her out and placed her in the vacant lot. Not long after he gave this story to the police, Arnold Smith admitted that he, himself, was Al Morrison and confessed once again to the Black Dahlia murder. Smith could not be charged without hard evidence because of the possibility that he was just another confessing sam longing for fame. Hard evidence could not be found within the hotel room that was mentioned because the room burned down and any evidence that there might have been burned with it. To this day it is believed that Jack Anderson Wilson, or as he is called, Arnold Smith, murdered Elizabeth Short. He knew all the details of the murder to make the scene and story complete. He also knew about things that were done to Elizabeth’s body that had not been publicized in the media.
The Black Dahlia was one of the most tragic murder cases America has ever seen, and the most gruesome as well. Arnold Smith heartlessly killed Elizabeth Short and degraded her by mutilating her body and dumping it in a vacant lot, only
to have the horrible incident publicized and viewed by many, it is most likely that this is exactly what the killer wanted.

Who killed the Black Dahlia and why?
The Black Dahlia was named for a woman in the early 40s, I believe, and she was an inspiring actress, flawlessly beautiful with dark hair and yet she was murdered mysteriously by an unknown person. The mystery still lingers and remains unsolved to this day.

What Is the black dahlia bout?
The Black Dahlia was the nickname given to an actress named Elizabeth Short. She was killed in 1947. Her body was found in a vacant lot, severly mutilated and severed in half at the waist. It was a big deal in those days and there are many versions of how she got the name Black Dahlia, but that's what they called it, the Black Dahlia murder. It was never solved and the movie is about the investigation.
Reply:Black Dahlia is about woman who was killed, but they can't solve the mystery of who killed her.

Question about silent hill movie/video game/dahlia?
I dunno, I've not played the games, but I found this tidbit on Wikipedia:
Dahlia Gillespie is an eccentric old woman who owns an antique store in Silent Hill. Underneath this façade, Dahlia is a key member of the Silent Hill cult and the mastermind behind Alessa’s birth and injury. Dahlia is Alessa's mother, though their relationship was anything but loving. Dahlia coerced Harry, via his quest to find his missing daughter, into helping her find and subdue Alessa in the Otherworld so she could make the girl birth the God. Upon the God’s birth, Dahlia was killed by either the Holy Woman in White (Incubator) or by Incubus.
Hopefully that sheds some light on the matter.

Question about silent hill movie/video game/Dahlia?
Relationship to the Video Games
Although it is not direct adaptation of any one of the games, the film does contain numerous overt and subtle connections to the series. Many of these are purely thematic or aesthetic similarities to the games' distinctive style, but there are also various features which appear to be direct translations of their in-game counterparts.
Characters
Jodelle Ferland as Alessa Gillespie.The police officer Cybil Bennett, from the original Silent Hill, appears in the film. She retains much of her same attitude from the game, but her ultimate fate is different. Her appearance is very similar as well, with her blue officer shirt and leather pants. The one noticeable difference is Cybil's haircut; it is much shorter in the film than it is in the game.
Christabella, Christopher Da Silva, and Thomas Gucci are original and do not appear in any of the games. For Christabella, a little girl of the same name did appear in the Silent Hill graphic novel, Dying Inside. Also, the way Christabella speaks mirrors that of Claudia Wolf from Silent Hill 3. As for Thomas Gucci, his name was taken from a memo that is found in the police station in the first Silent Hill game.
The Red Nurse is a clear take off of the character Lisa Garland from the first Silent Hill game. Their particular situations are also similar, as they are both caretakers of the bed ridden Alessa.
Rose Da Silva has been explained by director Christophe Gans as a female version of the Silent Hill video game protagonist, Harry Mason.
The young Alessa Gillespie and her mother Dahlia also appear in the film, though the relationship between them is quite different from the game. Originally in the game, Dahlia was the leader of the cult, not Christabella, and it is she who burns Alessa in hopes of invoking the child's dark powers and using them to birth a god. It should also be noted that the plot point involving Alessa splitting herself into two halves and hiding the good half by disguising it as a newborn child is better explained in the game as Alessa's way of trying to keep her mother from using the girl's powers for evil. When the game's protagonist brings the good half to Silent Hill, Alessa shrouds the town in thick fog in hopes of keeping Dahlia from finding her.
The cult in the game and film both share differing, but equally important roles. In the games, they are polytheistic diabolists known as The Order, while in the film, they are witch-burning Puritans. It should be pointed out that these two cults are possibly completely separate cults. The Order may very well be the focus of a possible sequel.
Creatures
Many of the creatures in the movie are also taken from the various games in the series, including the towering Red Pyramid (Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2), the ever-present Nurses (based on the Bubble-Head Nurses from Silent Hill 2), the grey children (child-demon Mumblers from Silent Hill), and the creeping Patient Demon (based on the same creature from Silent Hill 2). The Janitor, an original creation of director Christophe Gans is brought to life by special effects supervisor Paul Jones for the film. He has some similarities in appearance and ability to the Victim Ghosts from Silent Hill 4: The Room, but seems ultimately inspired by one of the scenes in the first game in which you find a body in one of the bathroom stalls while in the “Otherworld” version of the school. The body, however, does not come to life in game.
The Grey Children are called The Mumblers in game, and they appear in the first Silent Hill game. In the film, they are burning children who cry for help as they overwhelm Rose. In the games, they appear as child-like creatures that carry knives, but the image of children in the way they were represented in the film would not pass certification by the software ratings board, So, the game version are essentially "watered down". Aside from appearance, their roles are identical.
The Straitjacket Creature is called the Lying Figure or the Patient Demon in Silent Hill 2. The movie version is very similar to its video game counterpart.
The Janitor is an original creation by director Christophe Gans and FX artist Paul Jones. He is based off of a decorative corpse that is hanging similarly in the bathroom in the first Silent Hill game.
The Red Pyramid, known as The Red Pyramid Thing or Pyramid Head in game, appears in the second Silent Hill game. In the game, Pyramid Head is a manifestation of the protagonist's guilt, while in the film he is a punisher commanded by Alessa. Appearance wise, they are very similar in film and in game. On film, his helmet is sharper and more detailed and his posture is more upright and powerful, while in game he has a slouched posture and his helmet is rusted and bloody. They share the character's trademark brutality and ominous appearance.
The Nurses on film and in game are nearly identical in appearance and action (although their general appearance recalls the nurses from the first and second games).
Scenes and Themes
Three scenes from the beginning of the first Silent Hill have been recreated nearly shot-for-shot.
The first features Rose and Sharon driving towards Silent Hill, only to crash after swerving to avoid a ghostly figure in the road.
The second shows Rose walking down an L-shaped alley, minutes before the third scene.
The third is where Rose is ambushed by the Gray Children after discovering a mutilated body crucified on a chain-link fence.
At least one scene was also taken from Silent Hill 2. When Rose enters Room 111 she finds a hole in the wall leading to another building, where she must jump across to access. This was taken directly from the game.
When Christopher receives calls from Rose but only gets white noise, this calls to mind the scene in Silent Hill 2 in which James first discovers the radio and hears a voice that sounds vaguely like his wife's. The same thing happens to the protagonist in Silent Hill 4: The Room when he first tries to use the phone in his ghost-infested apartment.
When Rose views the paintings at Midwich listing the school's values, the last picture says "God", and the figure depicted is female. This is a possible reference to "Silent Hill 3".
Some dialogue from the film mirrors the games. When Rose meets Dark Alessa face to face for the first time, she says, "You could be her twin". James says something similar when he first meets Maria (who bears striking similarities to his wife) in Silent Hill 2.
When Rose sees the Red Pyramid stabbing through the door, she says, "It's Him!" This is exactly what the protagonist says in Silent Hill 2 when he sees a painting depicting The Red Pyramid in the town's historical society. It is also shouted by Cynthia over the intercom in the subway station in Silent Hill 4.
The town itself has been recreated with a striking attention to detail, right down to the names of many of the town's shops. As a result, the street scenes are almost indistinguishable from those of Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3. The memorable Midwich Elementary School from Silent Hill also appears, along with Brookhaven Hospital (from Silent Hill 2 and 3). When Rose wakes up after the Grey Children attack, she wakes up in a bowling alley that is very similar to Pete's Bowl-a-Rama from Silent Hill 2.
The concept of internal guilt, self-righteous murderers and the overall idea of “private hell” is taken directly from the second game while the themes of loss and loneliness echo that of the first Silent Hill game.
When Rose and Sharon are driving to Silent Hill, a song called "Letter from the Lost Days" plays on the radio, very similar to the scene where Douglas drives Heather to Silent Hill in the third game.
In the hotel, Rose grabs a knife from Anna. The same knife is given to the protagonist by a supporting character in Silent Hill 2. In the film the knife is used to cut open a painting. After using the knife Rose drops it.
The way bed ridden Alessa looks mirrors the final boss from Silent Hill 2.
The film also shares some visual symbolism from the games.
The persistant mentions and visions of fire suggest Alessa's burning and suffering.
The images of wheelchairs (in the alley and in the hospital) are suggestive of Alessa's hoptilization and death in the town.
The symbolism of fans, an infinite loop representing Alessa's constant death and rebirth (Alessa -%26gt; Sharon -%26gt; Dark Alessa -%26gt; Sharon), can be seen throughout the film much like games. Fans are seen in the alleyway at the beginning of the film, outside of the school when the Red Pyramid makes his first appearance, and in the room where the Red Pyramid makes his first attack.
Trivia
In the original script, there were only female characters. After submitting the script, it was returned to Gans with a memo saying “there are no men!”. When Sean Bean was added to the cast, the script was approved.
Silent Hill uses little computer-generated imagery, with the most notable exceptions being the fog that drenches the town, the otherworld transitions, and the insects that surround the Red Pyramid. Some of the creatures have been touched-up with CGI in post-production, but, for the most part, what is seen on film existed physically. Most of the creatures were professional actors or dancers covered in latex and makeup.
Screenwriter Roger Avary has said in interviews that as a boy, his father, who is a mining engineer, used to tell him stories about the town of Centralia, Pennsylvania, where coal deposits from the local mine caught fire and caused toxic gasses to force the inhabitants to evacuate forever. Avary, it seems, was fascinated since childhood by the idea that fires underneath the town would be burning for a hundred years and the story of Centralia was used as the basis for the township of Silent Hill.
Parts of Silent Hill were shot in downtown Brantford, Ontario. These include most of the street shots where Rose wanders and tries to follow Alessa throughout the town, the scenes where Rose looks at the bus maps on the poles for direction, the driving scene with Christopher and Gucci drive through Silent Hill, the entire scene where Christopher breaks into Braham's hall of records (the red "Expo" on the front of the building is the sign for the Brantford Expositor building) and the exterior of the Grand Hotel (which is actually the rear of the Expositor building).
Although the film is supposed to be occurring in West Virginia, during two different occasions, (both while at the gas station in the town of Brahams), you can clearly see the price of the gasoline listed for sale per liter, not the US standard of per gallon (similar to how the speed limit signs in Silent Hill 2 are in km/h instead of MPH), perhaps in reference to the games' often ropey recreation of the small-town America. The mechanic and cashier at Smitty's gas station have noticeably different accents than the characters from Brahams (Sister Margaret, Gucci, Cybil).
The animated end titles are similar to the titles used in the video game series.
The imagery of the creatures were influenced by artists Alberto Giacometti, Francis Bacon, and Hans Bellmer.
One of the films seen listed on the theater's marquee in Silent Hill as Thomas and Chris drive by is The Omega Man, from 1971. The movie has a man survive a biological weapon attack that killed many and left a few hundred deformed, nocturnal people calling themselves “The Family”. The plague has caused them to become sensitive to light, as well as homicidally psychotic. They believed science and technology to be the cause of the war and their punishment, and Neville, as the last symbol of science, the old world, and a “user of the wheel”, must die — a clear allusion to the atmosphere of Silent Hill.
Konami Japan and Team Silent, the development team responsible for the Silent Hill game series, were directly involved with the production of this movie from the pre-production stage all the way to the post-production stage.
Approximately 100 different copies of Rose's outfit were made for the film, with soft colors fading into greys and then blood-reds as the film progressed.
It took Christophe Gans five years to obtain the movie rights to Silent Hill from Konami. He sent in a video interview to Konami explaining how much Silent Hill meant to him and he sent scenes that he apparently filmed on his own dollar with music from the Silent Hill games.
Christophe Gans has stated that the film is an adaptation of the first game, with the emotional melancholy of the second, mixed with the dialogue delivery of the third, with some camera movement inspired by the fourth.
In the scene where the miners are trying to kick in the door to the bathroom, the camera pans up the door, over the top and down the other side of the door to the miners. This was done all in one shot, where the left half of the wall was shifted into place after the camera went over the top of the door. This can be seen on the Origins segment of the DVD documentary.
Connections with folklore
The setting of the film is Toluca County, West Virginia, but there is no such county in that state. In the second game in the series, there is a Toluca Lake adjacent to Silent Hill. There is a real lake called Toluca Lake in California. There is also a Toluca, Illinois.
The series of games have multiple references to a cult which closely follows descriptions found in the Cthulhu Mythos given by H.P. Lovecraft. These references were largely absent from the film, as the fundamentalist sect portrayed there was much more an echo of puritanical Christianity, interested in burning witches to destroy sin, rather than raising old gods.
Dimensions of Silent Hill
In the movie, there are three different dimensions or versions to the town of Silent Hill.
The first world is modern day Silent Hill. This world is the version where Christopher and Gucci are in. This is also shown with Silent Hill 30-years prior to the current events in the film. This was showcased in Dark Alessa's montage scene.
The second world of Silent Hill is filled with fog and falling ashes. This is the main dimension that Rose, Cybil, Sharon, and Alessa are trapped in. This version is a sort of purgatory or limbo.
The third world of Silent Hill is covered in Alessa's Darkness. This is the hellish one that's covered in rust and stained in blood.
Notes
All three worlds seem to be impermeable to the other's realities, that is to say, the creatures that lurk in the dark realm disappear when the fog-filled realm reappears and the damage the Red Pyramid causes in one world repairs itself in another. However, there is evidence that events in one world will affect the others. For instance, Rose calls her husband to tell him that she is not doing well and he receives parts of the message. Also when Christopher is aware of his wife's presence and claims he can smell her perfume. In addition, when Rose opens a door, the same door moves in Chris' reality.
Reply:Dahlia Gillespie is an eccentric old woman who owns an antique store in Silent Hill. Underneath this façade, Dahlia is a key member of the Silent Hill cult and the mastermind behind Alessa’s birth and injury. Dahlia is Alessa's mother, though their relationship was anything but loving. Dahlia coerced Harry, via his quest to find his missing daughter, into helping her find and subdue Alessa in the Otherworld so she could make the girl birth the God. Upon the God’s birth, Dahlia was killed by either the Holy Woman in White (Incubator) or by Incubus.
Alessa Gillespie is the enigmatic apparition that Harry Mason encounters during his journey into the hellish town at the start of the game. It is revealed that Alessa was originally meant to take in her mother's footsteps and become a Priestess of the Holy Woman sect. When Dahlia and the other cult members found out about her powers they decided that Alessa would be the perfect vessel for the God. It is speculated that Dahlia is Alessa's birth mother and that Dr. Kauffman is the biological father. Alessa, who was troubled by many psychological problems, refused to take part in the cult’s activities. In order to hasten the birth of the God, Dahlia burned down her house with Alessa inside. Alessa would then split her soul in half and create a new baby. This baby would be found by Harry Mason and his wife. She would be named Cheryl Mason. Alessa would spend the next seven years in a coma suffering in a hellish nightmare, which ultimately becomes the basis of the darkness that Alessa spreads in Silent Hill. Upon Cheryl’s return to Silent Hill, Alessa would send out her soul. After Harry crashes, the souls of Cheryl and Alessa merge. At the final battle, the physical Alessa, clad in the robes of Valtiel, and the Soul of Alessa are merged and form the Holy Woman in White aka Incubator aka Mother of God. When Dr. Kaufmann throws a bottle of Aglaophotis on the Mother of God she prematurely expels the demon known as Incubus aka the Demon God Samael. Harry is then able to defeat the prematurely expelled and thus weakened Incubus. After the battle the Holy Woman in White reappears. She gives Harry a baby with the complete soul of Alessa and Cheryl, which in a way is the Holy Woman in White herself reborn.
Hope this makes things clearer
Reply:I have never seen or played the game, but if you have the DVD (not the VHS) there is behind the scenes footage about that. I remember them saying something about changing her character and making her hair grey. But the DVD may answer your question.
Question about silent hill movie/video game/Dahlia?
Relationship to the Video Games
Although it is not direct adaptation of any one of the games, the film does contain numerous overt and subtle connections to the series. Many of these are purely thematic or aesthetic similarities to the games' distinctive style, but there are also various features which appear to be direct translations of their in-game counterparts.
Characters
Jodelle Ferland as Alessa Gillespie.The police officer Cybil Bennett, from the original Silent Hill, appears in the film. She retains much of her same attitude from the game, but her ultimate fate is different. Her appearance is very similar as well, with her blue officer shirt and leather pants. The one noticeable difference is Cybil's haircut; it is much shorter in the film than it is in the game.
Christabella, Christopher Da Silva, and Thomas Gucci are original and do not appear in any of the games. For Christabella, a little girl of the same name did appear in the Silent Hill graphic novel, Dying Inside. Also, the way Christabella speaks mirrors that of Claudia Wolf from Silent Hill 3. As for Thomas Gucci, his name was taken from a memo that is found in the police station in the first Silent Hill game.
The Red Nurse is a clear take off of the character Lisa Garland from the first Silent Hill game. Their particular situations are also similar, as they are both caretakers of the bed ridden Alessa.
Rose Da Silva has been explained by director Christophe Gans as a female version of the Silent Hill video game protagonist, Harry Mason.
The young Alessa Gillespie and her mother Dahlia also appear in the film, though the relationship between them is quite different from the game. Originally in the game, Dahlia was the leader of the cult, not Christabella, and it is she who burns Alessa in hopes of invoking the child's dark powers and using them to birth a god. It should also be noted that the plot point involving Alessa splitting herself into two halves and hiding the good half by disguising it as a newborn child is better explained in the game as Alessa's way of trying to keep her mother from using the girl's powers for evil. When the game's protagonist brings the good half to Silent Hill, Alessa shrouds the town in thick fog in hopes of keeping Dahlia from finding her.
The cult in the game and film both share differing, but equally important roles. In the games, they are polytheistic diabolists known as The Order, while in the film, they are witch-burning Puritans. It should be pointed out that these two cults are possibly completely separate cults. The Order may very well be the focus of a possible sequel.
Creatures
Many of the creatures in the movie are also taken from the various games in the series, including the towering Red Pyramid (Pyramid Head from Silent Hill 2), the ever-present Nurses (based on the Bubble-Head Nurses from Silent Hill 2), the grey children (child-demon Mumblers from Silent Hill), and the creeping Patient Demon (based on the same creature from Silent Hill 2). The Janitor, an original creation of director Christophe Gans is brought to life by special effects supervisor Paul Jones for the film. He has some similarities in appearance and ability to the Victim Ghosts from Silent Hill 4: The Room, but seems ultimately inspired by one of the scenes in the first game in which you find a body in one of the bathroom stalls while in the “Otherworld” version of the school. The body, however, does not come to life in game.
The Grey Children are called The Mumblers in game, and they appear in the first Silent Hill game. In the film, they are burning children who cry for help as they overwhelm Rose. In the games, they appear as child-like creatures that carry knives, but the image of children in the way they were represented in the film would not pass certification by the software ratings board, So, the game version are essentially "watered down". Aside from appearance, their roles are identical.
The Straitjacket Creature is called the Lying Figure or the Patient Demon in Silent Hill 2. The movie version is very similar to its video game counterpart.
The Janitor is an original creation by director Christophe Gans and FX artist Paul Jones. He is based off of a decorative corpse that is hanging similarly in the bathroom in the first Silent Hill game.
The Red Pyramid, known as The Red Pyramid Thing or Pyramid Head in game, appears in the second Silent Hill game. In the game, Pyramid Head is a manifestation of the protagonist's guilt, while in the film he is a punisher commanded by Alessa. Appearance wise, they are very similar in film and in game. On film, his helmet is sharper and more detailed and his posture is more upright and powerful, while in game he has a slouched posture and his helmet is rusted and bloody. They share the character's trademark brutality and ominous appearance.
The Nurses on film and in game are nearly identical in appearance and action (although their general appearance recalls the nurses from the first and second games).
Scenes and Themes
Three scenes from the beginning of the first Silent Hill have been recreated nearly shot-for-shot.
The first features Rose and Sharon driving towards Silent Hill, only to crash after swerving to avoid a ghostly figure in the road.
The second shows Rose walking down an L-shaped alley, minutes before the third scene.
The third is where Rose is ambushed by the Gray Children after discovering a mutilated body crucified on a chain-link fence.
At least one scene was also taken from Silent Hill 2. When Rose enters Room 111 she finds a hole in the wall leading to another building, where she must jump across to access. This was taken directly from the game.
When Christopher receives calls from Rose but only gets white noise, this calls to mind the scene in Silent Hill 2 in which James first discovers the radio and hears a voice that sounds vaguely like his wife's. The same thing happens to the protagonist in Silent Hill 4: The Room when he first tries to use the phone in his ghost-infested apartment.
When Rose views the paintings at Midwich listing the school's values, the last picture says "God", and the figure depicted is female. This is a possible reference to "Silent Hill 3".
Some dialogue from the film mirrors the games. When Rose meets Dark Alessa face to face for the first time, she says, "You could be her twin". James says something similar when he first meets Maria (who bears striking similarities to his wife) in Silent Hill 2.
When Rose sees the Red Pyramid stabbing through the door, she says, "It's Him!" This is exactly what the protagonist says in Silent Hill 2 when he sees a painting depicting The Red Pyramid in the town's historical society. It is also shouted by Cynthia over the intercom in the subway station in Silent Hill 4.
The town itself has been recreated with a striking attention to detail, right down to the names of many of the town's shops. As a result, the street scenes are almost indistinguishable from those of Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3. The memorable Midwich Elementary School from Silent Hill also appears, along with Brookhaven Hospital (from Silent Hill 2 and 3). When Rose wakes up after the Grey Children attack, she wakes up in a bowling alley that is very similar to Pete's Bowl-a-Rama from Silent Hill 2.
The concept of internal guilt, self-righteous murderers and the overall idea of “private hell” is taken directly from the second game while the themes of loss and loneliness echo that of the first Silent Hill game.
When Rose and Sharon are driving to Silent Hill, a song called "Letter from the Lost Days" plays on the radio, very similar to the scene where Douglas drives Heather to Silent Hill in the third game.
In the hotel, Rose grabs a knife from Anna. The same knife is given to the protagonist by a supporting character in Silent Hill 2. In the film the knife is used to cut open a painting. After using the knife Rose drops it.
The way bed ridden Alessa looks mirrors the final boss from Silent Hill 2.
The film also shares some visual symbolism from the games.
The persistant mentions and visions of fire suggest Alessa's burning and suffering.
The images of wheelchairs (in the alley and in the hospital) are suggestive of Alessa's hoptilization and death in the town.
The symbolism of fans, an infinite loop representing Alessa's constant death and rebirth (Alessa -%26gt; Sharon -%26gt; Dark Alessa -%26gt; Sharon), can be seen throughout the film much like games. Fans are seen in the alleyway at the beginning of the film, outside of the school when the Red Pyramid makes his first appearance, and in the room where the Red Pyramid makes his first attack.
Trivia
In the original script, there were only female characters. After submitting the script, it was returned to Gans with a memo saying “there are no men!”. When Sean Bean was added to the cast, the script was approved.
Silent Hill uses little computer-generated imagery, with the most notable exceptions being the fog that drenches the town, the otherworld transitions, and the insects that surround the Red Pyramid. Some of the creatures have been touched-up with CGI in post-production, but, for the most part, what is seen on film existed physically. Most of the creatures were professional actors or dancers covered in latex and makeup.
Screenwriter Roger Avary has said in interviews that as a boy, his father, who is a mining engineer, used to tell him stories about the town of Centralia, Pennsylvania, where coal deposits from the local mine caught fire and caused toxic gasses to force the inhabitants to evacuate forever. Avary, it seems, was fascinated since childhood by the idea that fires underneath the town would be burning for a hundred years and the story of Centralia was used as the basis for the township of Silent Hill.
Parts of Silent Hill were shot in downtown Brantford, Ontario. These include most of the street shots where Rose wanders and tries to follow Alessa throughout the town, the scenes where Rose looks at the bus maps on the poles for direction, the driving scene with Christopher and Gucci drive through Silent Hill, the entire scene where Christopher breaks into Braham's hall of records (the red "Expo" on the front of the building is the sign for the Brantford Expositor building) and the exterior of the Grand Hotel (which is actually the rear of the Expositor building).
Although the film is supposed to be occurring in West Virginia, during two different occasions, (both while at the gas station in the town of Brahams), you can clearly see the price of the gasoline listed for sale per liter, not the US standard of per gallon (similar to how the speed limit signs in Silent Hill 2 are in km/h instead of MPH), perhaps in reference to the games' often ropey recreation of the small-town America. The mechanic and cashier at Smitty's gas station have noticeably different accents than the characters from Brahams (Sister Margaret, Gucci, Cybil).
The animated end titles are similar to the titles used in the video game series.
The imagery of the creatures were influenced by artists Alberto Giacometti, Francis Bacon, and Hans Bellmer.
One of the films seen listed on the theater's marquee in Silent Hill as Thomas and Chris drive by is The Omega Man, from 1971. The movie has a man survive a biological weapon attack that killed many and left a few hundred deformed, nocturnal people calling themselves “The Family”.

Who do you suppose killed the Black Dahlia? Jack Anderson Wilson? Or Ed Burns?
The Black Dahlia murder case is considered to be history's most famous unsolved murder mysteries. In January of 1947, the nude, mutilated body of actress Elizabeth Short was discovered in a Los Angeles vacant lot. She had been cut in half, and there were slashing marks from mouth to ear. Dozens of suspects were cleared, and the actual killer was never apprehended nor identified and the case remained cold. The murder still continues to haunt Los Angeles. There was a website I found where people believe a man named "Ed Burns" committed the crime. "Ed Burns" was her boyfriend, and there was possible proof of evidence. There was another website about a psychic's visit with Short's spirit, and the spirit claims to have been murdered by an "Al Morrison". "Al Morrison's" aliases were Arnold Smith and Jack Anderson Wilson. Wilson died in a fire in 1982. He was author John Gillmore's suspect.

Who do you suppose killed the Black Dahlia? Jack Anderson Wilson? Or Ed Burns?
I asked this same question recently, and I gave a list of books that have different men named as the killer. Jack A. Wilson, aka Arnold Smith, is said to be involved by two different authors. Steve Hodel said his father did it, and Janice Knowlton said her father did it. One author said gangster Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel did it and Jack Wison helped to carry the body to and from a car that took it to the vacant lot on Norton between 39th and Coliseum January 15, 1947. Psychics are frauds, so I do not acept anything they say. Ed Burns is not as well-proven as other suspects. We shall never know for certain, I go for Jack Anderson Wilson who had several aliases.
