Some games, like Ecstatica 1 or the recent Call of Cthulhu also have a lot of adventure elements. And Clock Tower have almost no action in it. "Survival horror" is not about running and killing monsters, but sadly it's popular as it is..
Silent hill doesnt concentrate on monster killing, infact you pretty much only have to kill the bosses. You can run away or avoid everythign else.

And its not just because it has a good story that I see it as an adventure, theres also the exploring, puzzles and the inventory.
