* TheOtherDarrin: For the HD Collection release, the original voices were redubbed over completely by new actors, much in the same vein as ''VideoGame/SilentHill2''. Unfortunately, unlike that game there’s no option to switch between the original and new voices.

* TheDanza: Heather is named after the actress who voiced her. Her last name is not given in the credits, giving an impression of the [[CharacterAsHimself character as herself]], to the point that early promotional materials had her character name listed using the actress' full one -- Heather Morris. Justified in that listing Heather's ''real'' last name [[spoiler:-- Mason (as in, [[SilentHill1 Harry]]'s daughter) --]] would have [[InterfaceSpoiler spoiled a fairly significant plot point]] that comes about halfway through the game.

* HeyItsThatVoice: The HD Collection.
** Heather is [[Manga/BlueSeed Momiji]], [[VideoGame/{{Persona4}} Yukiko]] and [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Rei]].
** Vincent is [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Sasuke]], [[Anime/CodeGeass Suzaku]], and [[WesternAnimation/Ben10AlienForce Ben]].
** Claudia is [[VideoGame/{{Catherine}} Catherine]], [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Lust]], [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Halibel]], and [[VampireKnight Maria]].
** In a strange twist, those who have played Silent Hill 3, and seen the latin american dub of Franchise/HarryPotter agree that the original voice of Vincent sounds uncannily like Creator/VictorUgarte.

* ShoutOut: In the Buildings level of [=SH3=], you'll find a Silencer in the room with the mattress. Just break the wall to find it, and it's right next to a pair of corpse legs, a reference to "The Black Cat" (and not, as commonly believed, Solid Snake's legs).

* YouFailBiologyForever: You don't grow babies in your stomach. Therefore it's a bit difficult to [[spoiler:throw them up and give birth to them by swallowing them]]. The scene in question had more in common with a [[{{Alien}} chestburster]] than an actual baby. Obviously this is probably also RuleOfScary and it doesn't stop the scene from being utterly horrifying.

* KonamiCode: Used to turn Douglas from a hard-boiled detective into an utterly creepy (almost) nudist.
