Hellraiser Podcast

The original script of Deader had nothing whatsoever to do with Hellraiser. Join us as we take a look at the differences between that script and the finished movie Hellraiser:Deader. Who is The Shark Mouth? What is a Baby Table? Why didn't they keep all the nudity? Have a listen. Go on. Do it. 

We discuss two films that Clive Barker wrote before Hellraiser - Underworld (aka Transmutations) from 1985 and Rawhead Rex from 1986. It could be argued that were it not for these films he never would have directed Hellraiser himself. And you will see why. Not to give away what we (and Clive) think of the movies, all I'll say is we use the word "rubbish" quite a lot in this episode!! RAWHEAD!!!!!!!!!
