Hellraiser Podcast

Join us with a glass of your favourite booze as we talk you through Hellraiser: Hellseeker. Ashley Laurence! Doug Bradley! Noisy CCTV cameras! Still no sign of Clive Barker but at least Pinhead is actually in this one. 

We discuss The Midnight Meat Train, the 2008 movie version of Clive Barker's short story from The Books of Blood, directed by Ryuhei Kitamura. Why is Bradley Cooper following Vinnie Jones around? What the hell is going on onboard that train? Can there ever be too much gore when it's this much fun? www.hellraiserpodcast.com @HellraiserCast

Our second of three podcasts about the short story collection Hellbound Hearts, all based on the mythology created by Clive Barker in his novella The Hellbound Heart. We discuss stories by Richard Christian Matheson, Nancy Holder, Simon Clark, Steve Niles, Sarah Langan and Nicholas Vince.  www.hellraiserpodcast.com @HellraiserCast

We dive into our booze soaked commentaries once more. And this time we swim in the waters of Hellraiser: Inferno. With no sign of Clive Barker in sight, will the movie hold our attention for the whole of its running time? And will we hold your attention for the whole of its running time? Those questions and many more will be answered here. Disclaimer - those questions and many more may not be answered here. 

We discuss the upcoming stage production of What Monsters Do. Nicholas Vince has adapted two of his short stories for the stage and teamed up with Peter and Phil's theatre company Hidden Basement Productions to put it on! The play is part of the London Horror Festival and is on at 7:30pm at the Etcetera Theatre, Camden, London on October 25th-27th 2013. See you there!

We went to Birmingham in the middle of the UK to attend a screening of Hellraiser and Hellbound, organised by the lovely people at Back To The Theatre. Special guests there included Kenneth Cranham (Dr. Channard), Nicholas Vince (Chatterer), Simon Bamford (Butterball) and Geoff Portass (make up effects on both films). We recorded the Q&A sessions and here they are. NOTE - as it was a live recording of a staged event the sound quality does vary throughout. Sorry about that. But the chats were bloody brilliant!

Here it is - our commentary for Hellraiser Bloodline. It features early morning drinking, Chatter Beast bashing and our favourite character from the Hellraiser universe - Jaques. Have a drink and join us! 

In the first of 3 podcasts all about the book of short stories Hellbound Hearts, we take you through the first 7 stories. Amazing tales all set in the world of Hellraiser, or the world of Clive Barker's novella The Hellbound Heart. In Part 1 we discuss stories by Peter Atkins, Conrad Williams, Sarah Pinborough, Mick Garris, Christopher Golden and Mike Mignola, Tim Lebbon and Kelley Armstrong. 

We discuss the movie Event Horizon, which has some Hellraiser based ideas and themes. What is the Event Horizon? Where has it been? Can this film fit into the Hellraiser world and mythology? Why the Hell didn't Bloodline look like this?!? 

We have a chat with Barbie Wilde, the Female Cenobite from Hellbound: Hellraiser II. She chats about acting, throat flaps, writing and her brilliant new book The Venus Complex. www.barbiewilde.com 

We talk through Hellraiser 3: Hell on Earth while getting a little tipsy on wine and beer. Pop the film in your player and watch it with us! Pinhead! Unbound ... unstoppabobble. 

Continuing the story from BOOM! Studios. Elliott is on Earth, but appears to have lost his memory, while Kirsty is coming to terms with her new role. Why is Tiffany helping Elliott? What happens when you open the box while in Hell? Where the Hell is Harry D'Amour? Do we like these issues as much as we liked issues 1-8? Use your ears to find the answers ...

We discuss the movie Candyman from 1992, based on Clive Barker's short story The Forbidden from The Books of Blood. Who is this mysterious man with a hook for a hand? Why is he full of bees? What happens when you say his name five times while looking into a mirror? A great 90s horror film from the same year as Hellraiser 3. 

Here we bring you a feature length commentary for Hellraiser 2. We drink some wine and chat through the second film in the series. Pop your DVD or Blu-ray in (or whatever futuristic device you have in the future!) and join us ...

A spoiler free podcast discussing Nicholas Vince's book of short stories What Monsters Do, including an interview with Nick himself in a pub to get his thoughts and feelings on the stories. Includes our first ever COMPETITION! Ooooooh. 

The comics from 1990 continue! How does a Cenobite create puzzle guardians? Can you follow someone into Hell after they've been dragged through? Would you move into a house with a puzzle on the floor and a mysterious door to nowhere in the wall? These comics really are very good. 

We speak to Ryan, Jose and Crystal - the driving force behind Occupy Midian - the online presence to get Nightbreed: the Cabal Cut into our homes. We chat Nightbreed, Hellraiser, studios, remakes, and much more. Enjoy!

This podcast released on the 18th September 2012 - exactly 25 years after Hellraiser was released in the US! A little short podcast about our recent trip to the house where they filmed most of the movie. Unfortunately due to a technical problem the original discussion was lost, so Peter has a little chat with himself while going slightly mad. 

It's exactly 25 years since Hellraiser was released to UK screens! To mark this wonderful occasion we have recorded a feature length commentary of the movie. We talk through the film while getting a little tipsy and we invite you to join us!

We went off on an adventure to watch Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut at the Empire Cinema, Leicester Square. We discuss what we made of the new version of the movie, and chat to some of the stars to get their views. APOLOGIES for some of the poor sound quality in the Question and Answer section - we were quite a long way away from the stage!!!
