1987 British supernatural horror film directed by Clive Barker

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.

This intense Bible fanfiction thriller starring Christopher Walken is now heralded as a cult classic despite not being critically understood at the time of its release. The New York Times described it as "…bad enough to end the recent proliferation of religious thrillers." It's true that the 1990s were filled with religious thrillers -- we at Boys' Bible Study have extensively covered the "angelslop" and "devilslop" that proliferated through the era, with audiences fascinated by Christian pop culture moral frameworks imbued on human life. But the New York Times is completely wrong — THE PROPHECY has stood the test of time as the BEST of the 90s religious thrillers, in part because its timeless tone doesn't rely on the groan-inducing "smart, sexy, funny" humor typical to the decade. THE PROPHECY is instead gritty and otherworldly, with impressive visual effects and character design that rival the HELLRAISER franchise. Its well-researched Biblical scripture lends it credibility, and its fictional expansion of the Bible — centering on a lost 23rd book of Revelation, known only to angels — is written so convincingly it feels nearly realistic. The film takes place in contemporary Los Angeles, where a priest-turned-LAPD detective (Elias Koteas) uses his knowledge of Christianity to solve a case of biblical proportions. A mysterious dead body carrying an ancient Bible with unknown additional text is autopsied to reveal biology in common with an unborn fetus, initiating the detective into a modern-day war between angels and demons over the soul of a disgraced cannibal Korean War veteran whose power could tip the metaphysical scale of evil and turn earth into a second hell. The film is notable for its A-list cast, including a show-stealing appearance by Viggo Mortensen as Satan, and for its treatment of Native American mythology. Although we at BBS can't confirm the film's accuracy, the portrayal of indigenous religion feels well-researched and respectful — a unique fusion of indigenous and western mythologies that reads as a genuine lesson in cross-cultural respect. THE PROPHECY is the rare religious-themed film that is both entertaining and well-researched, stimulating on whatever spiritual level the viewer receives it.

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.
Butthole Surfers' Paul Leary and King Coffey trace the band's unlikely major label journey — from America's top-grossing indie act to MTV hitmakers to a lost album finally resurrected after nearly three decades. Preorder "After the Astronaut" LP here Topics Include: After the Astronaut releases June 26 after sitting unreleased for 28 years. Capitol signed Butthole Surfers when they were America's top-grossing indie band. Label president Hale Milgram believed in them; his firing changed everything. Pepper was written on the spot after a producer demanded one more song. Pepper won radio call-in polls for a month and played MTV hourly. The hit turned them into a "follow-up band," which was never their thing. John Paul Jones produced Worm Saloon and taught Paul Leary how to produce. Jones and the band shared a Lagavulin obsession, running up a $20,000 scotch bill. Capitol's big budgets contrasted sharply with Touch and Go's approach. After the Astronaut was a deliberate return to experimental, art-school Butthole Surfers DNA. Mark Ryden painted the original cover; getting dropped handed it to Marcy Playground. Declining a Hellraiser soundtrack placement created the first real rift with Capitol. Their manager's heroin relapse coincided with the band getting dropped mid-promo cycle. Promo cassettes already pressed now sell for $800–$1,000 on the secondary market. Hollywood Records funded Weird Revolution; Rob Cavallo showed up once a week for ten minutes. Finding two-inch master tapes in a storage locker triggered the After the Astronaut remix. Documentary The Whole Truth and Nothing But took director Tom Stern five years to make. Rob Reiner called it one of the best music docs ever — hours before his murder. A potential box set looms, but Paul prefers naps, his cat, and his bicycle.

The hosts discussed the film's characters, particularly James Hong's performance as Lopan, and analyzed key scenes including the supernatural battles and optical effects. They compared the film favorably to previous episodes' selections like "Rawhead Rex" and "Transmutations," concluding that "Big Trouble in Little China" was more entertaining and well-executed.

Brian thought he could escape the April punishment episode. He was dead wrong. We can do these episodes anytime. Steve unleashes a film that can be described as a stew of stupid. Full of stolen elements from better horror films like Hellraiser and Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, plus Elm Street star John Saxon and Dawn of the Dead star David Emge. The film also incorporates half understandings of Nietzsche, philosophy, the X-Men, MK Ultra and LSD. All of it under the control of one man who created the straight to DVD filmmaking format 10 years too early.

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? And is Hellraiser as scary as we assumed it would be when we saw the VHS box in the video store as children? Is anything? Finally, Pinhead himself joins us to give some sex advice. Next week (April 24, 2026): SEX MONTH concludes with Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls (1995)!

In the late '90s, there was a revival of the teen comedy, and Can't Hardly Wait stands as one of the classics of the era. The premise couldn't be simpler: It's one night at a party, the night of graduation. We follow a handful of crazy kids and see what kind of sexy trouble they get into. And it's a lot of fun! Surprisingly, this movie is rated PG-13 and is way less raunchy than we remember, so maybe not an ideal fit for Sex Month. So we try to lewd it up in our discussion for you. Next week (April 17, 2026): SEX MONTH continues with the '80s horror-sex classic Hellraiser (1987)! Time stamps: 00:07:30 — History segment: A brief history of the "teen movie"; the writing, casting, production, and legacy of Can't Hardly Wait 00:39:50 — Movie discussion 01:45:41 — Sex advice questions 01:50:43 — Final thoughts & star ratings Can't Hardly Wait was written and directed by Harry Elfont and Deborah Kaplan.

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.

Every day is a fresh horror in the world of games, but no matter what happens to the “industry,” the art isn't going away. Where does one find hope? Patrick went shopping for hope at PAX East and came way inspired after chatting with a series of interesting developers, including El Paso, Elsewhere director (and Hellraiser voice actor!!) Xalavier Nelson Jr., Paranormal Activity: Threshold designer Brian Clarke (also responsible for the excellent The Mortuary Assistant), and more. Plus, in a lovely twist, Patrick was able to chat with several developers working on video games who are active parts of the Remap community, too.

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.

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. They examined a new YouTube series by composer Chris Velasco, noted an upcoming 4K release of Nightbreed from Arrow Films, and discussed Brian Fuller's announcement of a potential new TV series collaboration with Clive Barker. The episode concluded with plans for future content including an upcoming discussion about Clive Barker's self-portrait with Don Bertram. Summary Hellraiser 30th Anniversary Updates José and Ryan discussed updates related to the 30th anniversary of Bloodline and Hellraiser, including a new TV series collaboration between Brian Fuller and Clive Barker. They also reviewed a developer diary for the Hellraiser Revival game, noting its 6-minute length and content featuring Doug Bradley. 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. The conversation then transitioned to preparing for recording the 527th episode of the Clive Barker Podcast, which would be a news episode. Hellraiser Game and Film Discussion Ryan and José discussed the Hellraiser Revival game, including a recent developer diary featuring Doug Bradley. They expressed excitement about the game's mechanics and graphics but noted the lack of a confirmed release date, speculating it might be around Halloween. The conversation also touched on the 30th anniversary of Hellraiser Bloodline and included reflections from Gary J. Tunercliffe about the film's impact and his experiences working on it. They debated criticisms of the Hulu Hellraiser movie, particularly regarding the Cenobites' threat level and story elements. Hellraiser Franchise and Podcast Discussion José and Ryan discussed the Hellraiser franchise, including criticism of certain characters and the recent anniversary of Hellraiser Bloodline. 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 concluded with a discussion about the advantages of audio podcasts over video content for convenience and accessibility. Nightbreed 4K Release Plans Ryan and José discussed the upcoming 4K release of Nightbreed by Arrow Films on May 25th, 2026, which will include both the theatrical and director's cuts in Ultra HD. They noted that while the director's cut was originally scanned in HD, the 4K release will feature new content including a feature-length documentary and interviews with critics. Ryan also shared news from Screen Rant about Brian Fuller working on a new TV series with Clive Barker, though details about the project are still unknown. Film Projects and Podcast Plans Ryan and José discussed various film and television projects, including a potential Mick Garris and Clive Barker collaboration titled "Theater of Blood." They also talked about their podcast content, including an upcoming episode about the Hellraiser 2022 Ultra HD Blu-ray release and a future discussion about Clive Barker's character portraits with Don Bertram. The conversation touched on the challenges of keeping track of all announced projects and the disappointment when some don't materialize.

They analyzed the movie's plot, characters, and musical score, noting its adaptation from the original story and the performances of the cast, including Gary Busey and Corey Haim.

The conversation also touched on the film's budget, casting choices, and the use of tropes, with José and Ryan expressing a preference for more relatable, average-looking actors in movies.

It's cold and snowy out, why not stay in and work on a puzzle? There's this weird box we can't seem to get open and it's tearing us apart to find out what's inside… Welcome to Franchise February, which we're kicking off with an all-time favorite that we somehow never discussed until now - the original HELLRAISER (1987)! It's incredible to think that we did almost every other entry in the series before the movie that kicked it off, but that might be because it's pretty perfect and the sequels are a bit hit-or-miss. We wasted all our good suffering on those movies so we could enjoy this one together!

FANGORIA Presents: Nightmare University (with Dr. Rebekah McKendry)
This week's episode has a little something for everyone. We cover several brand-new films that didn't make our top 10 list but that we were able to catch this past week. Then we dive into made-for-TV witches, 1970s ghosts, 2009 direct-to-video fare, and one hell of a Hellraiser mock-buster. Additionally, we cover a legendary horror graphic novel that we had been dying to read for quite a while.I believe I had watched:Web of the SpiderFreaky TalesThe Steam ExperimentVash Level 2Spirit (hellraiser mock buster)
Rumor season did not wait for us during our short absence. We already have plenty of rumored properties to discuss. Some, like Hellraiser and Stranger Things feel like strong possibilities. Then there are properties like Sinners, which came out of nowhere, but would be a huge crowd pleaser. However, there are some that feel flat out made up or just a pipe dream cough IT / Welcome to Derry cough. We will discuss them all and talk about how likely we think they may be. We also received official event dates for Halloween Horror Nights 35 in Orlando.Want to be on the show? Leave us a voicemail!

In this in-depth conversation, Darryl McDaniels sits down with Metal Walt to explore the heavy metal and hard rock roots that have been part of his musical identity since childhood. Growing up in New York City, DMC discovered rock and metal through radio, hearing bands like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest at a formative age. He explains how those sounds were already embedded in early hip-hop culture, from DJs digging through crates to the attitude and energy that shaped Run-DMC from the very beginning. The discussion revisits key moments such as “Rock Box” and “Walk This Way,” why rock was always part of Run-DMC's DNA, and how those records opened creative doors that still matter today. DMC also talks about his decision to actively create rock and metal music himself, leading to projects like HellRaisers and his 2026 solo metal single “She Gets Me High.” Additional topics include NYC hardcore roots, playing with Agnostic Front, sharing stages with Sammy Hagar, opening for Lou Reed, and how creativity, authenticity, and curiosity continue to guide his work. 00:00 Show Open & Pre-Roll Tease 04:23 What Music Sounded Like in DMC's House Growing Up 05:58 Discovering Rock on WABC and the First Metal Obsession (Black Sabbath) 09:11 Rock and Early Hip-Hop Culture — DJs, Crates, and Crossover 11:23 “Rock Box” and Why Rock Was Always in Run-DMC's DNA 14:16 “Walk This Way” — History, Impact, and the Permission Moment 25:25 When DMC Decided to Start Making Rock Music 28:10 DMC and the HellRaisers — Live Reactions and Reality 31:25 Rock DNA Across Classic Run-DMC Songs (King of Rock, It's Tricky, Mary, Mary, Why You Buggin') 36:17 “She Gets Me High” — DMC's Solo Metal Direction and Lineup 47:13 Hardcore Roots — Agnostic Front, NYC, and Underground Energy 56:22 Legacy, Creativity, and What DMC Is About Today 01:09:22 Wrap-Up & Where to Follow DMC Learn more about your ad choices.
