In this interview, we sit down with Danira Karović Lačević, Lead Producer at Mad Head Games (a Saber Interactive studio), to talk about Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival. We discuss the game's development, story, horror design, and what fans can expect from this new Hellraiser title.

Jamie Clayton didn't just make major headlines when she landed the role of Pinhead in the new Hellraiser (2022) movie, she also made horror history. Clive Barker's original novella — and the 1987 film adaptation — were both deeply rooted in the queer kink scene, and the reboot brings that LGBTQIA+ representation directly onto the screen through its cast and characters. But by being able to be explicit about its inclusivity, did this flick sacrifice a little of its explicitness in other areas? For our latest episode of Trans Pride, we're summoning the Cenobites for a conversation about the yuck factor and yum factor involved in the newest installment of one of the genre's biggest franchises. This month, we're donating all of our proceeds to non-profit organizations dedicated to helping and protecting the trans community. You can help by participating in our Instagram fundraiser benefiting Transgender Law Center, joining our Patreon, or streaming both old and new episodes through the end of June. Happy Pride!References:https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/hellraiser-2022-pinhead-interviewhttps://screenrant.com/hellraiser-reboot-jamie-clayton-david-bruckner/https://collider.com/hellraiser-jamie-clayton-director-david-bruckner-interview-pinhead-cenobites/https://www.them.us/story/hellraiser-2022-review-jamie-clayton-pinheadhttps://www.autostraddle.com/hellraiser-2022-review/YouTube: ‘Hellraiser' Interviews With Jamie Clayton, Brandon Flynn, Goran Visnjic & More!YouTube: "What an absolute f*cking thrill!"

"So sweet of you to come back."The Horror Bulls open the puzzle box once again for Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988), the sequel that expands Clive Barker's nightmare mythology into a sprawling labyrinth of pain, obsession, and flesh. We dive into Leviathan, the return of Julia and Frank, and why this may be the franchise's most ambitious entry.

WHAT IS SPLATTERPUNK?If you want to understand what makes splatterpunk so different from the horror that came both before and after, your best bet is to read the authors who pioneered the form. It wasn't just the visceral intensity of their literary assaults on convention. All the key writers – Clive Barker, Joe R. Lansdale, David J. Schow, and John Skipp and Craig Spector – were ferocious stylists, with original voices that completely stood out from the crowd.In THIS IS SPLATTERPUNK: THE JOHN SKIPP PRIMER, you'll find 15 of Skipp's most powerful, passionate, unbridled, and influential splatterpunkian short stories, from his early years in Twilight Zone magazine to the present day.Skipp also includes a definitive essay on the history and core elements of the movement – which he defines more as a “spontaneous eruption of the arts” – with additional notes on each story, for context.But mostly, it's about Skipp's unflinching empathy – his ability to put you inside the skins of his characters, make you feel what they feel every speck of the way – that makes THIS IS SPLATTERPUNK: THE JOHN SKIPP PRIMER an essential read for lovers of fearless fiction, and the perfect companion piece to his film.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Nº 569: Hellraiser (1987) de Clive Barker, comentario sobre la película. Gregori Luthe Manríquez, kinesiólogo, profesional HCS, Concepción. Conductores: Sanyar Lagos Vigouroux y José Manuel Ventura Rojas 

**PLEASE TURN UP THE VOLUME TO HEAR THIS INTERVIEW**Go underground with me and Hugh to Midian as we dove back into the history of Clive Barker's Nightbreed as the legendary actor had so much to say about his character, Narcisse. We spoke about his character's presence in the film and how it had a huge impact on the horror community. His iconic scene in the psychiatric hospital, where his character peels his face off has been deemed as a memorable moment in horror history. Hugh delivered this role flawlessly; Narcisse is still a beloved character, and we think it has some type of connection with those who are looking to be accepted. With a loyal and endearing nature, how could you not love Narcisse?

They reviewed the Hellraiser Revival game's Cenobite Collector's Edition, comparing it to the previous Leviathan edition and noting the lack of a signed Clive Barker print as a key difference. The hosts watched a new developer diary for the game, showcasing more detailed Cenobite animations and gameplay footage with Doug Bradley's voice work. They also discussed upcoming Hellraiser conventions including Mad Monster Party in Arizona and Days of the Dead events in Chicago and Atlanta, featuring several Cenobite actors. The podcast concluded with plans for their next book club discussion of "The Body Politic" from Books of Blood Volume 4 and a vote on which 1987 film to compare to Hellraiser. Hellraiser Developer Diary Discussion Ryan and José discussed technical issues with audio and video settings before planning to watch a developer diary video about Cenobytes and Pinhead from the Hellraiser series. José shared a link to a YouTube video and they briefly discussed its content, though Ryan only watched a 30-second preview due to the initial link issue. The conversation ended with Ryan asking about "Team French" but the question remained unclear due to audio issues. Nightbreed 4K Restoration Discussion José and Ryan discussed a new 4K restoration of the film Nightbreed, including both theatrical and director's cuts, with enhanced features like Dolby Vision HDR, new artwork, and a companion book. They reflected on previous collector's editions and debated whether physical media releases, including 4K, would continue to be relevant given the rise of digital formats. Both agreed that while digital media is growing, physical media will likely persist in some form, particularly for collectors and professionals in the film industry. Physical Media's Enduring Relevance José and Ryan discussed the ongoing relevance of physical media in the age of streaming services. They noted that while streaming has become popular, limitations in internet speeds and the temporary nature of licensed content on platforms like Netflix mean physical media will likely continue to have a place. They highlighted how streaming platforms have shifted focus toward producing their own content rather than licensing existing material, leading viewers to seek out older content on alternative platforms like YouTube. The conversation concluded with appreciation for companies like Arrow, Shout Factory, and Turbine Media that continue to produce physical media releases. Nightbreed 4K Release Discussion Ryan and José discussed a new Arrow Video 4K release of Nightbreed, comparing the UK and potential US versions. They noted that the UK release includes exclusive extras like behind-the-scenes footage and UK-specific content, though they were uncertain if these features would be included in the US version. The UK release is priced at 30 pounds, which Ryan and José considered a good deal, though they agreed to wait for the US release to potentially save money and see if it includes similar extras. Hellraiser Game Edition Comparisons José and Ryan discussed the differences between various editions of the Hellraiser Revival game, including the new Cenobite Collector's Edition priced at $199. They compared features between the Leviathan Edition and Cenobite Edition, noting that the Leviathan includes a hand-signed art print while the Cenobite edition features a Cenobite statue and other exclusive items. The discussion highlighted concerns about the long pre-order period, which has been ongoing for about a year since the last pre-order update in June 2025, and they noted that the new dev diary "Cenobytes" provides additional footage of Cenobites in the game. Hellraiser Revival Collector's Edition Discussion José and Ryan discussed a Hellraiser Revival Collector's Edition, which includes a Cenobite statue, puzzle box, enamel pins, and a digital soundtrack. They watched a dev diary video showcasing the game's features, including platforming elements and various Cenobite characters. The video highlighted the game's focus on grotesque scenes and jump scares, with Doug Bradley's involvement adding credibility to the project. José and Ryan noted the game's potential for a gradual descent into horror, similar to Big Trouble in Little China, and expressed hope for an upcoming release date announcement. Temple of the Killer Tiger Monkeys Ryan and José discussed the audio drama "Temple of the Killer Tiger Monkeys," which features original Cenobite actors including Doug Bradley, Simon Bamford, and Nicholas Vince. They agreed to create a future podcast episode about the series, potentially including an interview with Simon Banford. The conversation also covered Ghanaian movie posters, specifically a Hellraiser poster by artist Heavy J, which is now available for purchase through Deadly Prey Gallery. Finally, they mentioned upcoming Hellraiser and Nightbreed conventions featuring the Cenobite actors. Horror Conventions and Content Planning José and Ryan discussed upcoming horror conventions, including Mad Monster Party Arizona in July 2026 and Days of the Dead events in Chicago and Atlanta. They expressed interest in meeting Peter Atkins at the Chicago event in November 2026, with both planning to discuss time off work to attend. José also mentioned upcoming content plans, including a book club discussion of "The Body Politic" from Books of Blood Volume 4 and a vote on a 1987 movie to compete against Hellraiser. Horror Movies Discussion Ryan and José discussed various horror movies, including The Lost Boys, Prince of Darkness, The Gate, Bad Taste, Angel Heart, Beaks, and Iron Warrior. They shared their opinions on these films, with José expressing a preference for Bad Taste due to its chaotic nature. Ryan mentioned his interest in watching Prince of Darkness, The Gate, or Angel Heart again. They also briefly discussed actor Stephen Dorff's role in The Gate and his appearance in Blade. The conversation concluded with José mentioning Nicholas Vince's recent campaign for the Green Party in the UK elections. UK Elections and Media Discussion José and Ryan discussed recent local elections in the UK, with Ryan encouraging José to vote for Nicholas Vince in future elections. They then talked about editing a podcast episode, noting that while some parts like screen sharing would be easy to edit out, removing fillers like "ums" would be more time-consuming. The conversation concluded with a discussion about a Hellraiser script booklet, comparing different versions and discussing whether certain autographs were real or printed.

On this episode of Salt Lake Dirt, I had the pleasure of talking with writer Jennifer Ostopovich. Based in Calgary, Canada, Jennifer shares her fascinating path from being an obsessive childhood reader to becoming a "pandemic writer". Despite being what she calls a "lousy student" who struggled with the sensory overload of traditional classrooms, she was reading adult novels by Stephen King and Clive Barker as early as second grade. Growing up in a rural trailer park without cable or a telephone, books became her primary window into the world, offering a connection to characters that television simply couldn't match. Our conversation touches on Jennifer's transition from writing a spy thriller during the lockdowns to finding her voice in the literary community online. She discusses her affinity for transgressive literature and her commitment to writing about uncomfortable topics like poverty and abuse—subjects often overlooked in more academic circles. We also talk about her short story "Guts," which explores the raw emotional landscape of childhood, and her unique piece "Albatross," which uses a parrot to sketch out the complexities of heartache and hope. Jennifer is also an editor for Hobart and runs an active book club on Twitter/X, where she continues to champion indie and transgressive authors. She is currently putting the finishing touches on a short story collection and has a novel ready for the right publisher. You can follow her work on Substack or connect with her on Twitter/X at @jrostopovich to join her upcoming book club discussions.

Prosegue il nostro viaggio nel cinema horror grazie al ritorno di Antonio Buoso per parlare dell'affascinante "Cabal" conosciuto anche come "Nightbreed" film diretto da Clive Barker e basato sul suo romanzo omonimo del 1988.Aaron Boone è un giovane tormentato da sogni ricorrenti su una città sotterranea chiamata Midian, rifugio di creature mostruose chiamate i Nightbreed. Manipolato dal suo psicanalista, il sinistro Dr. Decker (interpretato da David Cronenberg), Boone viene incastrato per una serie di omicidi e finisce per scoprire che Midian esiste davvero.Un film che affronta temi come l'emarginazione, l'identità e il rovesciamento del concetto di mostro: i veri antagonisti sono gli esseri umani "normali", mentre i creature di Midian rappresentano gli esclusi e i diversi che cercano solo un posto sicuro nel mondo.

The conversation also covered production details like the sloping corridor set and optical effects used in the movie. Film Location and Production Planning José and Ryan discussed filming locations, noting that costs and logistics led to filming at the Fox Backlot in LA instead of San Francisco.

They also briefly discussed the use of AI in content creation and its impact on documentary-style videos.

We're diving into the 1987 horror classic written and directed by Clive Barker in his directorial debut, adapted from his novella The Hellbound Heart. A nightmarish blend of body horror and dark fantasy, the film explores desire, pain, and pleasure through the opening of a mysterious puzzle box that unleashes the Cenobites—most famously the chilling Pinhead. Still as unsettling and influential today as it was on release, Hellraiser remains a landmark in horror cinema that continues to haunt audiences decades later.

José provided a detailed summary of the plot, describing the main character Gavin as an amoral hustler who discovers a golem-like creature in Reynolds' apartment. The discussion explored themes of aging, retirement, and superficiality, with Ryan suggesting the story represents how younger people replace older professionals in various fields. The group analyzed key moments in the story, including Gavin's discovery of the statue in Reynolds' bathtub and the creature's apparent attraction to Gavin's appearance. The conversation concluded with reflections on Gavin's character as a young, attractive but lost soul. Gavin's Shadow Statue Confrontation The group discussed a story involving Gavin, who becomes entangled with a pimp named Pretorius after a misunderstanding about a crime committed against one of Pretorius's sex workers. Gavin tries to escape but is caught and attacked with a knife, leading to a confrontation with a shadowy statue that appears to be coming to his aid. The statue, which seems connected to Gavin on a psychic level, transforms from a wooden statue to a more human form and helps defend him, eventually revealing a connection to Gavin's own shadow self. The discussion touched on various themes including doppelgängers, golems, and depression, with the statue potentially representing Gavin's inner demons or depression manifesting physically. Doppelganger Story Plot Discussion The group discussed a story involving a doppelganger that takes over a person's life, with José explaining key plot points about how the doppelganger physically mirrors the original person's injuries and experiences. They explored the character's situation after murdering Pretorius and the gang, including his decision not to return home due to police involvement and his limited resources. The discussion also covered the character's visit to Reynolds, who provided limited explanations about the creature's origins and requirements for activation, though Reynolds himself had become isolated and deteriorated since encountering the entity. Gavin's Doppelganger Character Analysis The group discussed a character named Gavin who creates a doppelganger that leads an independent life after copying him. They analyzed how Gavin loses his will to live as his clone becomes more human and powerful, with José comparing this to depression and Ryan drawing parallels to retirement. The discussion concluded with details about Gavin waking up to find his clone had been shot, highlighting the tragic consequences of losing one's purpose and identity. Graphic Novel Character Analysis The group discussed a graphic novel, focusing on a character who takes on others' lives and experiences. They explored themes of identity, grief, and the burden of life, particularly through the story of Gavin and his doppelganger. José highlighted the significance of the doppelganger's wound and its healing process, while the group discussed the character's potential curse and origins. They also noted the contrast between Gavin's emotional state and the doppelganger's ability to emote and connect with life. Clive Barker's Doppelganger Story Discussion The group discussed Clive Barker's story about a doppelganger, exploring its themes of grief, identity, and what makes someone human. They considered the story's potential as an arthouse film, noting its low-budget production possibilities and discussing how to adapt the interior monologue elements for the screen. The conversation included insights about Barker's own experiences that may have influenced the story, and they examined the connection between the doppelganger and Gavin's character, speculating about how the story might end. Clive Barker Rights Discussion The group discussed Clive Barker's rights to his works, particularly regarding the Books of Blood series and Hellraiser. They noted that rights typically revert to authors unless new adaptations are created, and discussed how rights complications can arise when multiple adaptations attempt to use the same material. The conversation concluded with plans to move on to Volume 4 of the Books of Blood, specifically discussing the story "The Body Politic" and mentioning a Christopher Lloyd adaptation titled "The Inhuman Condition." Hellraiser Adaptations and Projects The group discussed various Hellraiser adaptations and related projects. They talked about a 2016 screenplay for "In the Flesh" by Mick Garris and Clive Barker, and expressed hope for an upcoming TV show by Brad Fuller. The conversation also covered a Hellraiser comic book collection by Boom Studios, which includes three volumes with a total of over 1,500 pages, though one participant had to cancel their pre-order due to the high cost of $200. The discussion concluded with a brief mention of Monstrous Press's "Kolchak Meets the Monsters" crossover collection and a potential deal for 90s Hellraiser Epic comics. Marvel Hellraiser Comics Discussion The group discussed Marvel Hellraiser comics, including their completeness and value, with José noting that buyers should be aware of what they're purchasing. They planned their next content, deciding to focus on Pinhead sketches and paintings rather than voting on a new movie, with José suggesting they could return to voting after this topic. The discussion concluded with gratitude to Patreon donors and a nostalgic conversation about vintage toys from the 1980s and 1990s, including Ewok movies, Universal Monsters playsets, and various action figures. Toys Discussion The group discussed childhood toys, including She-Ra dolls, Transformers, and Battlestar Galactica figures. José shared details about a new Masters of the Universe movie trailer featuring Jared Leto as Skeletor. 

Matt and Laci dive deep into Hellraiser (1987). Matt, a long-time fan of the movie, and Laci, a first-time viewer, discuss the film's production history and the life and philosophy of its creator, Clive Barker. They explore Barker's background, including his early work in theater, his time as a male escort, and his unique perspective on integrating explicit sexuality and body horror into his work.  Two prior adaptations of his work led Barker to want to take tight control of a third adaptation, which meant he would need to direct it himself. And what an incredible feat the film is for a first-time filmmaker. 1WR tells that story, including how Barker recruited his longtime friend Doug Bradley to play the iconic role of Pinhead.  Then, a long breakdown of the movie itself. How does it play for a first-time viewer? How well do its practical effects hold up? Do its themes make sense? Has any movie character ever hated their spouse as much as Julia hates Larry?

The pod. You opened it. We cast. Welcome to a brand new season of Rogues Gallery! We're kicking things off by opening the puzzle box on the original Hellraiser. It's a film that didn't just push the boundaries of horror, but gleefully tore them apart. What began as a low-budget adaptation of Clive Barker's own novella The Hellbound Heart evolved into something far stranger and more enduring: a nightmarish blend of desire, pain, and the grotesque. It also introduced the world to one of horror's most iconic figures in Pinhead. We trace how Barker's uncompromising vision made it to the screen largely intact, and how its emphasis on obsession and forbidden pleasure set it apart from the slashers dominating the late '80s. Along the way, we dig into the film's tactile, skin-crawling practical effects, the eerie mythology of the Lament Configuration, and the ways the franchise's legacy has been both expanded and diluted by decades of sequels.

What began in Hell, will end on Earth. This week we are joined by Dominic Scarano of the band Varkan for our new theme: Spring Into Sequels. Lance's fave! We kick off with 1992's HELLRAISER 3: HELL ON EARTH. After the Cenobite Pinhead becomes separated from his human conscience, his influence begins to spread through a decadent nightclub scene in the city. A determined journalist investigates a trail of bizarre deaths, unknowingly drawing closer to a supernatural horror unleashed by desire and excess. Also this week: Windstorm woes, Clive Barker impressions, and the new meaning of the term "Arriving". All this--and a whole lot more--on this week's episode of NEON BRAINIACS!! "There is no good..

Aaron and Derek welcome back horror comic author extraordinaire Cullen Bunn (Harrow County, The Empty Man, The Sixth Gun, etc.) to talk 1995's neo-noir supernatural horror film "Lord of Illusions" written and directed by Clive Barker. They discuss what makes Nix such a good horror villain, Bakula's performance as Harry D'Amour, and the amazing opening sequence with the cult. They also get into the world of stage magicians vs actual magicians, Barker's history with the D'Amour character, and trope inversion of a villain trying to achieve godhood. Aaron and Derek know flesh is a trap, and magic sets them free. Cullen wanted to be a god... then changed his mind.

The discussion covered the two commentary tracks - one with director David Bruckner and another with effects team members Josh Russell and Sierra Spencer - exploring the film's production details, practical effects, and design elements including the puzzle box configurations created by Martin Emborg. The group examined the movie's technical aspects, including the loom mechanism, Cenobite designs, and location shooting in Serbia, while also discussing the film's connection to Clive Barker and its place within the Hellraiser franchise. They also reviewed the special features on the Blu-ray, including trailers for all Hellraiser movies and various featurettes about the production process.   Hellraiser 2022 Blu-ray Analysis The group discussed the Hellraiser 2022 4K Blu-ray release from Turbine Media, which was the first physical release in Ultra HD anywhere. They reviewed the German booklet included with some editions, which José had helped translate, and discussed the movie's production details including the puzzle box designs by Martin Emborg. The participants, including Ed and Nina Martinez, praised the David Bruckner commentary track and shared observations about the film's visual differences between streaming and Blu-ray versions. They also discussed Easter eggs in the film, including a Clive Barker print and a Johann Fusil painting, and explored the connection between the new Hellraiser film and David Goyer's previous work on "The Night House." Hellraiser Art Book Discussion The group discussed the creation of an art book for the Hellraiser film, with Ed expressing interest in helping produce it and noting that the Russells had previously shown interest in creating such a book. They discussed the film's commentary track, where David Bruckner revealed he hadn't watched the movie since completing it years ago. The conversation also covered potential extended scenes, particularly regarding the death of the lawyer character, though the group noted these scenes may not have been filmed. Film Commentary and Production Insights The group discussed commentary tracks for a film, particularly praising David Bruckner's commentary for being engaging without dead air. Ed shared details about creating a commentary track with Josh, Spencer, and Sierra Russell, noting that Nina helped coordinate it. They discussed the film's production, including abandoned subplots and design elements, such as the character Mask and a rejected bloodier design for Pinhead. Ed mentioned that photos of the alternative Pinhead design were available on their YouTube channel. Cenobites and Leviathan Tech Design The group discussed the design and creation of the Cenobites and Leviathan tech in a movie, focusing on specific details like the appearance of the Hellpriest, the materials used for the suits, and practical effects. They noted the challenges faced by actors wearing heavy silicone appliances and the adjustments made to makeup during filming. The conversation also touched on the aesthetic choices, such as the shininess of the Leviathan tech and the decision to move away from leather suits, though some participants expressed a preference for the traditional look. Hellraiser Production Effects Discussion The group discussed production details and creative decisions from a Hellraiser movie, focusing on practical effects and character transformations. They examined the choice to use a "hurdy-gurdy" instead of a loom, and discussed the practical mechanics of the device worn by Goran under his clothing. The conversation also covered the Faraday cage concept and its potential use as a protective barrier against Cenobites, noting how the film combined elements from Hellraiser 1 and 2 while incorporating significant practical effects including miniature sets for the labyrinth. Hellraiser Movie Bonus Features The group discussed the Hellraiser movie, focusing on the transformation scene and commentary tracks. They explored the bonus features on Disc 3, including trailers for various Hellraiser movies in both English and German. The conversation also touched on the creators' workshop space and their previous work on films like The Ritual and The Night House. The discussion concluded with a debate about the best way to watch movies, particularly atmospheric ones, with a preference for theater or high-quality home viewing over mobile devices. Unused Movie Concept Art Review The group discussed various aspects of a movie, including concerns about content and design choices. They examined unused concept art by Keith Thompson, including designs for Cenobites and other characters. The discussion covered details about specific character designs, transformations, and technical elements that were considered but not used in the final film. José shared images from Thompson's blog and explained some of the design decisions, while Ed and Ryan provided additional context and trivia about the film's production. Leviathan Concept Art Review José presented concept art designs for the film Leviathan, including detailed illustrations of Cenobites, the brother puppet, and the character Leviathan itself. He shared designs by both Keith Thompson and Peter Morbacher, noting that while Thompson's designs were ultimately used in the film, Morbacher's alternative concepts, such as a different version of Butterball and various Cenobite designs, were not implemented. The group discussed how some designs incorporated elements like skin capes and unique facial features, with Ed commenting on the use of CG in the film compared to previous projects with Doug Bradley. Hellraiser Design and Special Effects The group discussed the design and creation of the Hellraiser movie, focusing on the Cenobites and special effects. They explored how the writers approached the story, including early concepts and how they incorporated elements from Clive Barker's work while maintaining the film's unique tone. The discussion also covered the "Leviathan Tech" feature, which examined the mechanical torture devices worn by the Cenobites, and highlighted the challenges in bringing these designs to life, particularly for the Chatterer character.  

Read a more in-depth article about Candyman: https://weirddarkness.com/candyman-love-story/Say his name five times in a mirror, and Candyman, a vengeful spirit born from love, betrayal, and unspeakable violence, will appear to continue his blood-soaked legend across generations.*No AI Voices Are Used In The Narration Of This Podcast*IN THIS EPISODE: If you look in a mirror and say his name five times, he will appear behind you, complete with a hook for a hand – covered in blood because his hand has been cut off. Isn't that romantic? No? Well, Clive Barker's 1992 horror cult classic “Candyman” actually began as a real-life love story. So how did it turn so gruesome and terrifying? (The Nightmarish Love Story Behind Horror's Candyman) *** The Enfield Poltergeist has become infamous thanks to Ed and Lorraine Warren and “The Conjuring” films. That took place in a house in Brimsdown, Enfield, London England. But on the other side of the pond there is an Enfield, Illinois. Not as well known as the one in England of course, but they still have a horror in their past. One that took place four years before the Enfield incident in London… about a terrifying creature that locals who were alive at the time still get goosebumps talking about. (The Horror of the Enfield, Illinois Monster) *** Complex family dynamics and an infatuated businessman ended in a murder that was covered up and remained hidden for three decades, buried in the grounds of the house at 10324 Canyon Road. (A Dark Secret Leads To a Death On Canyon Road) *** One girl decided to go by the name of Lila, because her true name was Delilah but she didn't want to be associated with that harlot in the Bible. The stories behind how people get nicknames can often be fascinating. So how do you supposed Margaret Dickson got tagged with the nickname of “Half Hangit Maggie”? (Half Hangit Maggie) *** The search for intelligent life in the universe has been a goal for decades, with everyone from NASA to SETI to backyard Ufologists looking to the skies, listening to various radio waves, hoping to catch just a glimpse, at least a hint of what we hope to find. But could it be that we're looking in the wrong place? Perhaps the extraterrestrial intelligence, the more advanced life we seek to make contact with, is not out there somewhere… but it is here somewhere… already on Earth? (There Might Be Intelligent Life On Earth After All) *** Too often we are let down by those whom we look up to – and that goes doubly so for those in religious authority. How many well-known religious figures have toppled over after being exalted on high by the followers they so skillfully misled? Jim Bakker, Robert Tilton, Ted Haggard, Jimmy Swaggart… but none compare to Major Thomas Weir – a strict Presbyterian known for his powerful prayers, earning him a reputation for being one of the most saintly men of his time. But then he made a confession so outlandish, so ghastly and profane, they executed him.

They analyzed the painting's composition, colors, and techniques, considering whether it was truly a self-portrait or perhaps a character study. Don Bertram shared insights as an artist and collector, while José and Ryan explored themes of transformation and creativity. They also briefly discussed the 2022 Hellraiser movie release and its special features. The conversation concluded with plans to vote on future art pieces to analyze. Summary Clive Barker Self-Portrait Discussion The group discussed a self-portrait painting by Clive Barker from 2007, which was selected through a listener vote. José provided context about the painting, including its size (60x48 inches), medium (oil on canvas), and exhibition history at the Bert Green Gallery. The painting sold for $8,000 and was described as a beautiful character portrait. The discussion concluded with José inviting the participants to share their analysis of the portrait's style and emotional impact, though specific reactions were not captured in the transcript. Clive Barker Self-Portrait Discussion Don and Ryan discussed a large self-portrait by Clive Barker, noting its similarities to his "Abarat" style and comparing it to earlier works. Don expressed a preference for Barker's more cerebral images over this illustrative piece, suggesting the large size (4 by 5 feet) might be intended to command attention rather than being a traditional self-portrait. José proposed that the size creates a sense of confrontation and demands engagement, while Don speculated that the piece might originally have been intended for a different character in the Abarat series before being repurposed as a self-portrait. Clive Barker Painting Analysis Discussion The group discussed a painting that appears to depict Clive Barker, with José arguing it's a self-portrait while Don suggested it might be a portrait of another character. José analyzed the artistic elements, describing the symmetrical composition and expressionistic style with bold brushstrokes and flames as an aura rather than a setting. The discussion included comparisons to other Barker works and references to specific book editions, with Don suggesting the painting might be used as a dust jacket or limited edition book cover. Clive Barker Painting Interpretation Discussion The group discussed a painting of Clive Barker, interpreting the fire surrounding him as representing transformation, danger, or creative intensity. José and Ryan connected this to Barker's recurring theme of characters being forged or transformed through proximity to powerful or high-stakes events, while remaining intact. They noted the painting's medium of oils, which allows for layers and revisions similar to how people build their self-identity, and expressed interest in seeing a higher quality image of the painting. Gallery Exhibition Art Discussion The group discussed a painting that was part of a gallery exhibition called "New Paintings and Works on Paper" in 2007. They clarified that the $8,000 price listed on Phil and Sarah's website represents the original asking price rather than a confirmed sale price. José shared his screen to show other paintings from the same exhibition, including "She Waits" and "Voices of the Damned," which was possibly related to Barbie Wilde's book. The discussion also touched on other works by Aberet, including some black and white pieces and drawings. Clive Barker Self-Portrait Analysis The group discussed a self-portrait painting by Clive Barker, examining its artistic techniques and comparing it to other Barker self-portraits. They analyzed specific elements like the use of color, eye details, and the symbolic representation of a monster inside the artist's head. The conversation concluded with a brief discussion about the Hellraiser 2022 Blu-ray release, including its special features and the inclusion of one of Barker's paintings in the film, though it was covered with plastic and barely visible. AI Summary (News) Quick recap Ryan and José recorded episode 527 of their Clive Barker podcast, focusing on recent news updates about Hellraiser-related projects. They discussed a new developer diary for the Hellraiser Revival video game, which showed promising gameplay mechanics and featured Doug Bradley's voice work as the Hellpriest. The hosts also covered Hellraiser Bloodline's 30th anniversary celebrations and Gary J. Tunnicliffe's reflections on working on the film.

José expressed concerns about the game's marketing as "very explicit" and questioned the focus on explicit content versus storytelling. Hellraiser Game Development Discussion José and Ryan discussed a Hellraiser game and its development, focusing on the challenges of depicting violence and sex in the game while staying true to the franchise's lore. José expressed optimism about the game's potential, noting the strong story and powerful narrative. They also discussed finding a specific social media post about the game and planned to continue their conversation later. Clive Barker Podcast News Episode Ryan and José discussed comments on a social media post about a game, with José noting the significant engagement it received. They shared experiences with previous games, including "Agony" and "Hellraiser," with both expressing disappointment in their quality.

They also talked about supporting Chris Velasco's new YouTube content, though Ryan noted it's not a traditional podcast since it lacks an RSS feed.

The conversation touched on the challenges of keeping track of all announced projects and the disappointment when some don't materialize.

Born from Clive Barker's 1984 horror fiction but rooted in genuine British pagan tradition, Rawhead Rex represents modern folklore at its most visceral. This isn't an ancient legend—it's a contemporary monster that tapped into real fears about buried gods, standing stones, and pre-Christian powers lurking beneath Britain's soil. When a farmer breaks the seal imprisoning this nine-foot creature of muscle and teeth, it brings with it an appetite that hasn't been satisfied in over a thousand years—and a reminder that new folklore emerges when fiction resonates deeply enough with our ancient terrors.   freakyfolklore.com   #RawheadRex #BritishFolklore #FreakyFolklore #PaganGods #RuralHorror #ForgottenDeities #AncientEvil #CliveBarker #EnglishLegends #FieldGods #PreChristianMyths #BritishHorror   EXPLORE MORE SPINE-CHILLING CONTENT: Freaky Folklore: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/freaky-folklore Carman's Crypt (Original Horror): https://carmanscrypt.buzzsprout.com  Deadly Intent (True Crime): https://carmancarrion.buzzsprout.com Destination Terror: https://www.eeriecast.com/podcasts/destination-terror    SUPPORT THE SHOW: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/CarmanCarrion  Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/carmancarrion   CONNECT WITH CARMAN: Website: https://www.carman-carrion.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CarmanCarrion Twitter/X: https://x.com/CarmanCarrion Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carmancarrion/   SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0uiX155WEJnN7QVRfo3aQY iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/freaky-folklore/id1550361184 Your support helps bring you more terrifying tales!   DISCOVER MORE HORROR: http://eeriecast.com/ https://www.carman-carrion.com/   Crypt Shop: https: //the-crypt-shop-2.myshopify.com/   MUSIC CREDITS: Music and sound effects provided by: CO.AG, Myuu, Jinglepunks, Epidemic Sound, Kevin MacLeod, Dark Music, and Soundstripe.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Podcast horreur / Un casting qui dévore les corps de ceux qui s'assoient sur le canapé. Un œil violet qui pousse entre les cuisses et voit le désir des autres. Un match Tinder dont les notifications vibrent encore après la mort. Cette deuxième compilation d'histoires interdites réunit trois creepypastas français où le plaisir est un piège et le corps un terrain de chasse — du body horror charnel signé Chandleyr, dans la lignée de Clive Barker.Le Casting Couch : une pièce sans fenêtre, un canapé noir, une caméra fixe.

L'Œil du Plaisir : Julien, barman du Marais, se réveille avec un organe possédé capable de voir les fantasmes extrêmes de chaque personne croisée. Un implant du dark web ou une légende urbaine du voyeurisme ultime ? Le Match Mortel : un simple "Salut, tu es dispo ce soir ?" sur Tinder. Un verre de vin. Une adresse dans Paris. Mais ce rendez-vous est le début d'une disparition — le prédateur numérique qui apparaît, efface son profil, et recommence ailleurs.Trois récits d'horreur psychologique et corporelle où la technologie, le désir et la mort s'entremêlent. Des possessions charnelles aux prédateurs numériques, ces histoires terrifiantes prouvent que le danger ne porte plus de masque — il a un profil, une bio, et un regard qui t'observe à travers l'écran.

Manny Muskets joins me in studio to talk about of this classic slasher from the 90s. The original Candyman. Based on a short story by Clive Barker it stars Virginia Madsen and the late Tony Todd in a role that made him a horror icon. Manny had never seen it before so I thought it was perfect for Black History Month.https://youtu.be/-v5KwZftUaAhttps://rumble.com/v767gm6-candyman-is-a-classic-90s-slasher-hack-the-movies.html

In this powerful "Monday morning" edition of the All About Nothing: Kinda Daily Show, Barrett Gruber and Bill Kimler process a weekend that felt too short and a news cycle that feels too heavy.The episode opens with a tribute to the late Robert Duvall, who passed away yesterday at 95. From his iconic role as Tom Hagen in The Godfather to the grit of Lonesome Dove, the hosts discuss why Duvall was the ultimate "actor's actor" and how his legacy represents a vanishing era of authentic storytelling.Shifting from Hollywood to Washington, the guys tackle the latest chaos surrounding the Epstein Files Transparency Act. With millions of pages now public, they discuss the "random redactions," the lack of accountability for the "monsters in power," and the national division fueled by years of conspiracy.Finally, they dive into a literary debate: Stephen King vs. Clive Barker. They explore the psychology of nostalgia, the emotional weight of a "perfect ending," and why some stories stay with us forever while others "sundown" into obscurity.Key Topics: #RobertDuvallRIP #GodfatherLegacy #EpsteinFiles2026 #StephenKing #CliveBarker #DuckDayOut #NationalDivision #Storytelling #BarrettGruber #BillKimler #AllAboutNothingPodcastZac King | LinktreeBarrett Gruber | LinktreeBill Kimler | LinktreeThe All About Nothing: Podcast | LinktreeBlack White Blue in the South | Instagram, Facebook | LinktreeDr. Jumelle Brooks | LinktreeClick here for Episode Show Notes!As always, "The All About Nothing: Podcast" is owned and distributed by BIG Media LLC!Check out our network of fantastic podcasts!Click Here to see available advertising packages!Click Here for information on the "Fair Use Copyright Notice" for this podcast.Mentioned in this episode:Everplay Spring 2026 LeaguesCheck out Everplay Sports and Social for the full list of the 2026 Spring Leagues and 2026 Late Spring Leagues!Everplay Sports & Social LeagueZJZ Designs - St Patrick's Day ShirtsZJZ DesignsBIG Media Copyright 2026BIG Media LLC

They explored themes of desecration, the supernatural, and the island's role as a burial mound for naval casualties. The characters' unsympathetic and mechanical interactions, particularly Jonathan's brutal treatment of the sheep, contributed to the story's grim outcome. The group also examined the story's connections to historical and literary references, including the scapegoat tradition and the poem "The Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner." Exploring 'The Sea Change The group discussed Clive Barker's short story "The Sea Change," focusing on its unsettling themes and narrative elements. They explored the story's depiction of the afterlife, where souls are trapped in decomposing bodies, and the role of ritual offerings to appease the dead. The conversation highlighted the story's use of onomatopoeia to describe the sea's movements and its symbolic representation of death as a circular process. The group also discussed the characters' unlikable nature and lack of friendship, as well as the open question of whether the ritual would need to be repeated by future generations. Scapegoats" Symbolism and Adaptation The group discussed the story "Scapegoats," focusing on its themes of emotional emptiness and crossing thresholds into unknown spaces. They analyzed the symbolism of the sheep and the characters' disregard for rituals and obligations. The conversation concluded with a discussion about the potential for an animated adaptation of Clive Barker's "Books of Blood" series, though rights issues would make such a project challenging. Clive Barker's Scapegoats Discussion The group discussed Clive Barker's "Scapegoats," noting its detached narrative and themes of ennui. They explored artistic depictions of the story, including a Dave McKeon cover and a Steve Fabian painting. Ryan announced upcoming episodes on Clive's Contemporaries and a new interview with Michael Pumetiz, who is also developing a Nocturnity movie. José shared insights on the Portuguese fishing community and its superstitions, drawing parallels to the story. The group also discussed the challenges of recording interviews and the potential for a movie adaptation of Pumetiz's work.

It's the end of an era - or a trilogy - or something. Author and podcaster Garon Cockrell (Demonic and Other Tales) returns for his third guest appearance on BTTM to talk Clive Barker!

It's an opportunity for another raucous, silly discussion that is just good, clean, macabre fun.

The story explored themes of sexual repression in British society and the corrupt underbelly of London's entertainment industry during the 1980s. The discussion included analysis of character motivations, the supernatural elements of Ronnie's ghostly form, and the story's dark humor. The podcasters also shared insights about the story's adaptation into a Tapping the Vein comic and discussed upcoming content including a 1978 movie commentary series where votes were still being collected between Superman and The Body Snatchers. The conversation ended with a light-hearted photo shoot using blankets as a creative way to represent the podcast's ghostly theme. The Pornographer's Shroud: Moral Consequences The group discussed Clive Barker's story "The Pornographer's Shroud" from Volume 3 of Books of Blood. José explained that the story explores how a man who builds his moral universe by denying the body faces consequences even after death, noting that Ronnie Glass, the protagonist, is an everyman who works for a pornography publisher but remains sexually prudish. Ryan and José discussed how the story reveals that Ronnie's moral judgments are flawed, as he believes sin can be corrected like an error in a ledger. The group agreed that the story is terrifying not just for its supernatural elements but also because Ronnie doesn't recognize his own evil, seeing himself as tidy and righteous. McGuire's Greed and Retribution The group discussed a story involving Michael McGuire, who discovers his boss's involvement in distributing explicit magazines. José explained that McGuire, who appears respectable but is driven by greed, becomes angry when he learns about his boss's illegal activities. The story critiques British society's repressive nature, as McGuire's public persona contrasts with his private actions. Ryan questioned why McGuire would visit the warehouse, given his knowledge of the illegal operations, and José suggested McGuire's curiosity and denial played a role. The discussion concluded with McGuire punching his boss in a fit of rage, only to face retaliation from McGuire's associates. Ronnie's Fall and Path to Revenge The group discussed a scenario involving Ronnie Glass, who was smeared by the media after being linked to a pornography case, despite not being directly involved. They analyzed how Ronnie's reputation was destroyed, his wife left him, and he felt a twisted sense of relief during his beating, viewing it as a form of punishment. The conversation also touched on Ronnie's transformation from feeling betrayed to seeking revenge, his struggle to obtain a gun in England, and his cold, calculated approach to planning murder after his wife's departure. Ronnie Glass's Vengeful Journey The group discussed the character Ronnie Glass and his journey of revenge after being wrongfully accused and framed by his criminal associates. They analyzed his cold-blooded killings of Henry B and Dennis Dork Lozati, noting his lack of conscience and methodical approach to settling scores. The discussion highlighted how Ronnie's actions not only avenged his own wrongs but also shook the underworld's power balance, with some respecting his courage while others condemned his brutality. The conversation also touched on Ronnie's missed opportunity for redemption by not leaving a letter to his wife to explain his innocence and the impact of his actions on innocent people. Violence and Emotional Detachment The group discussed a violent story involving Ronnie's murder by McGuire, who then casually returned to social activities afterward. They noted how the characters showed little emotional response to the violence, with the pathologist and his assistants engaging in trivial conversation while performing the autopsy. Ronnie's wife visited his body without much emotional display, and he later became frustrated by the disrespectful treatment during the autopsy, leading him to leave his body through his shroud and become a ghost-like figure. Ronnie's Shroud Murder Spree The group discussed a story involving Ronnie, who gains the ability to manipulate a shroud to create a semi-human form and uses this power to kill a pathologist. Ronnie later encounters McGuire in a sex shop, where McGuire is choked and killed by Ronnie, who then escapes. The story also follows McGuire's goons and their interactions with corrupt police officers, including a scene where one goon is beaten for pleasuring himself in the police station. McGuire's Tragic End The group discussed a scene involving McGuire, who is recovering from an attack and reflecting on his life while surrounded by portraits of his heroes. McGuire's wife and child visit, but after the dogs start barking, Ronnie, who is already on the property, attacks McGuire. Ronnie ultimately kills McGuire by jamming his shroud down McGuire's throat, then shoots McGuire's wife and Norton before being killed by the Shroud in front of McGuire's young daughter. The story then shifts to Ronnie seeking redemption by confessing to a priest, but Father Rooney is distracted by taking photographs with a woman named Natalie. The Body Politik Adaptation Discussion The group discussed the story "The Body Politik," focusing on its themes of suburban tranquility masking deeper secrets and its adaptation into a Tapping the Vein comic. They noted that the story would work better as a short film or part of an anthology series rather than a full-length feature. José mentioned that the story shares similarities with other Clyde Barker works, such as "Hell's Event" and "Pig Blood Blues." The discussion concluded with comments from Reddit users praising the story's pacing and Clive Barker's ability to make unusual ideas believable, as well as noting that the Mick Garris adaptation was not well-received.

Creepypastas are horror-related legends or images that have been copied and pasted around the Internet. These Internet entries are often brief, user-generated, paranormal stories intended to scare readers. They include gruesome tales of murder, suicide, and otherworldly occurrences. According to Time magazine, the genre had its peak audience in 2010 when it was covered by The New York Times. In the mainstream media, creepypastas relating to the fictitious Slender Man character came to public attention after the 2014 "Slender Man stabbing", in which a 12-year-old girl from Waukesha, Wisconsin, was stabbed by two of her friends; the perpetrators claimed they "wanted to prove the Slender Man skeptics" wrong. After the murder attempt, some creepypasta website administrators made statements reminding readers of the "line between fiction and reality". Other notable creepypasta characters and stories include Jeff the Killer and Ted the Caver. In May 2015, Machinima Inc. announced plans for a live action web series curated by Clive Barker, titled Clive Barker's Creepy Pasta. The term is a portmanteau of the words "creepy" and "copypasta", a word coined on 4chan in 2006 to describe viral copy-and-pasted text. The exact origins of creepypasta are unknown. Early creepypastas were usually written anonymously and routinely re-posted, making the history of the genre difficult to study. Jessica Roy, writing for Time, argued that creepypastas emerged in the 1990s when the text of chain emails was reposted on internet forums and Usenet groups. Aja Romano, writing for the Daily Dot, stated that Ted the Caver was arguably the earliest example of creepypasta. The story, posted on Angelfire in 2001, was written in the first person from the perspective of Ted as he and several friends explored an increasingly frightening cave system. Many early creepypastas consisted of rituals, personal anecdotes and urban legends such as Polybius and Bunny Man. Darcie Nadel, writing for TurboNews, argued that these early creepypastas had to be somewhat believable and realistic to be re-posted. Many of the earliest creepypastas were created on the /x/ board of 4chan, which focused on the paranormal. Major dedicated creepypasta websites started to emerge in the late 2000s to early 2010s: Creepypasta.com was created in 2008, while the Creepypasta Wiki and r/NoSleep (a Reddit forum, or subreddit) were both created in 2010. The websites created a permanent archive of creepypasta, which profoundly impacted the genre. Many authors started using creepypasta characters in their own stories, which resulted in the development of continuities encompassing numerous works. The definition of creepypasta has expanded over time to include most horror stories written on the internet. Over time, authorship has become increasingly important: many creepypastas are written by named authors rather than by anonymous individuals. Many of these authors attempt to achieve notice through their creepypasta. The copying and pasting of creepypastas has become less common over time; doing so is seen as intellectual theft by many members of the creepypasta community. #creepypasta​ #nosleep​ #doppleganger​ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channe...

Friends,When I was on my book tour for Hawk Mountain, I did an event with Andrea Lawlor where we spoke, at length, about horror. In the Q&A, someone raised a hand and asked:WHAT IS HORROR?Andrea and I both laughed. We found ourselves at a loss.Horror :Once you consider it, it's not clear.There's the assumption that horror is scary. Sometimes that's true. But obviously what's scary for you might not be scary for me, and vice versa, so that can't define the genre. We say horror has certain elements, but there are different kinds of horror to define its contours, whether it's body horror, slasher horror, cosmic horror...We might turn to the familiar face of horror - the monster - to see what they reveal to us. But while vampires, werewolves, zombies express, through their differing powers and weakness, different theories about horror, they can't give us a picture of what it is really. They're contained by it.Horror: Always on, always available, always around us. So… what is it?I asked my friends PHIL FORD and J.F. MARTEL - the cohosts of the WEIRD STUDIES PODCAST - onto the show to walk into the dark - or is it the blinding, malevolent light? - with me, and with you, to see what we would find there.Weird Studies is, in my experience of it, anyway, a horror podcast. In fact, my last conversation with Phil and J.F. was on Weird Studies and about horror: on Weird Studies 144, we looked into Clive Barker's Hellraiser and the book it's based on, The Hellbound Heart.But it's not a horror podcast because it's always focused on horror; many episodes are about topics and artworks that seem less than horrific (their series on each card in the major arcana of the tarot, for instance, or their episode on Herman Hesse's novel about enlightenment, Siddhartha). But there is a quality on each episode - a quality which we discuss in this conversation - of the threat of art, philosophy, image and sound. The way they invade our lives. Rearrange our organs Destroy the world we knew. In other words, we might think of horror as a position in time, something approaching or orbiting. Or as something creates shadows by blocking the light, or by creating a void where an object once was. You can hear me going in many directions again. Conversation with Phil and J.F. inspires that in me - being pulled in many directions at once. That's another way of thinking of horror: horror as blob; as spreading epidemic, as destroying giant, vaster than the safety of our shelters.This is what I love about talking with Phil and JF and about Weird Studies, and also why I often think of their podcast as the only true sibling to mine. In conversation with them, everything a springboard for everything. A web of connections. Or maybe better said, a transforming activity, everything metamorphosing into everything else through membranous, visceral, and expansive moves.Please support this show on patreon.PATREON.COM/CONNERHABIBYou can also find an almost complete list of the books, movies, etc we mention on this episode there.
