Send us a textMore than four years after we discussed the first film in the series, we're returning to the depths of Clive Barker's imagination. Some of us more reluctantly than others. But make no mistake, it's time to play.Puzzle boxes, people without skin, chains with fishhooks, Kirsty, people with nails or pins in their heads, blood and goo, Julia.

Mark and John (MFFHorrorCorner on X) discuss the 1987 horror film Hellraiser. Directed by Clive Barker, and starring Doug Bradley, Clare Higgins, Ashely Laurence, and several pain loving interdimensional Cenobites, the movie focuses on what happens when a mystical box is opened. In this episode, they also talk about movie monsters, basements, and Clive Barker's filmography. Enjoy!

Put on your best white suit because we've got a date with a bloody mattress in Tony Randel's Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988). Tagging in for the discussion is our forever-Hellraiser guest: Bryan Christopher! Join us as we heap all the deserve praise on Clare Higgins' Julia Cotton, who finally gets her due in this spectacular sequel. Hellbound astounds with a bigger budget and more world building, but sometimes suffers from an unfocused kitchen sink approach that the first film wisely avoided. Plus: humanizing the Cenobites, discussing what a "sex movie" is, Trace's unlikely remake proposition, Ashley Laurence's excellent "WTF" face and Julia's America's Next Top Model vortex challenge.
