Everything We Know So Far About ‘Hellraiser’ 2022

Over 2021 we saw the return of several horror franchises and 2022 holds more of the same with a new Texas Chainsaw movie and the upcoming Hellraiser movie from Hulu, just to name a few. But we are here to talk about the latter. Here’s everything we know about Hulu’s Hellraiser. The Director And The Writer First off, the movie, currently filming in Belgrade, is being directed by David Brucker who also directed The Night House. David S. Goyer who brought us Blade and The Dark Knight penned the script. Back in August of 2021, Brucker described the film as “something of a small reimaging” of Clive Barker’s novella “The Hellbound Heart” which the franchise is based on, during an interview with SFX Magazine. But it is something that we are actively working towards, and it is a joy and a dream for a filmmaker like myself to dive into that world. All I’ll say is that we are aiming

Looking At Some Popular Horror Movie Theories

Horror fans are possibly one of the most passionate when it comes to anything related to the genre. This love for the films even goes as far to have theories about the stories of the films we love, of course, every film genre has its fan theory base, but when it comes to horror, you got to admit there are some interesting ones out there. Even some bordering absurdity! These fan theories are all over the internet and appear in many videos and web articles but I want to take it a step further by giving the theories a look and then offering my opinion, hell I would love to even hear YOUR opinion in the comments (keep it civil, we’re here for fun!). Warning, some of the topics below may include spoilers for certain films, read at your own risk. Childs is the thing at the end of The Thing (WhatCulture) At the end of John Carpenter’s 1982 film

Blu-ray Reviews: Hellraiser (1987) and Hellraiser II: Hellbound (1988)

Ahh the Hellraiser series; so iconic and flat out awesome (well at first anyway) it is that it needs no introduction, as I’m sure each and everyone of you creeps has parked your pasty asses in front of it at one time or another. But, just in case there is someone reading this that has no idea what I’m talking about; here’s the elevator pitch; there’s a puzzle box… kinda like a Rubik’s Cube that when solved unleashes emissaries from hell (that are waaay into S&M) who arrive to collect the soul of anyone stupid enough to play their game. So there’s that. Anyway; Hellraiser, I love it, you love it, Arrow has gone mega-ape shit and unleashed insane-o releases of the first two films in the series…and yeah; review time! Let’s take ‘em one by one and kick it off with the original recipe Hellraiser! Poor Kirsty Cotton (Ashley Laurence); all she wants to do is visit her Dad

Pinhead Being Resurrected For New “Hellraiser” TV Series

IT producer Roy Lee and Dan Farah (Ready Player One) are teaming up to bring Hellraiser to the small screen in new Hellraiser series, Deadline reports. “They have joined forces with producer/rights holders Lawrence Kuppin, David Salzman and Eric Gardner, who have controlled those TV rights since New World was sold in 1989.” “The intention is to use the mythology established in the movie franchise and the Clive Barker novella The Hellbound Heart as a launch pad for a new series that could be anthology, or a more traditional narrative.” “The producers will first set a writer-showrunner before setting it at a network or streamer,” Deadline states. The series is not the only Hellraiser project in the works, David S. Goyer (Blade II, Batman Begins) is working on a “loyal, evolved reimagining” of the original 1987 film. There is no word yet if Doug Bradley, who made the character iconic, will reprise his role as the leader of the cenobites.
