‘Dark Knight’ Writer Behind New ‘Hellraiser’ Reboot

It seems like every classic horror film that we’ve grown to love is being rebooted. The latest movie to be added to list is Clive Barker’s Hellraiser. Variety is reporting that David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight, Blade II) is getting ready to serve up what we hope is not another painful installment. Goyer is describing the reboot as a “loyal, evolved reimagining.” Gary Barber‘s Spyglass Media will finance, develop, and fast-track the film for distribution. I’ve been a fan of Clive’s work since the original Books of Blood paperbacks and ‘The Hellbound Heart’” Goyer stated. “Having the chance to reimagine Pinhead and the Cenobites for a new audience is a nightmare-come-true. Gary is a true fan as well and we’re committed to making something dark and visceral.“ Keith Levine will be producing alongside Goyer.

Doug Bradley Putting On The Costume & He Has Such Sights To Show You

Doug Bradley Has such sights to show you. The actor, known for his role as Pinhead in the Hellraiser franchise, which Clive Baker began in 1987. While Bradley exited the franchise in 2011, he still is and always will be Pinhead in the eyes of his fans. Bradley will give fans something that they have been begging for for years, a photo with Pinhead himself. No, it’s not just some “photo op” this is a full-on Pinhead Experience! Bradley will be putting on the pins and the full costume for photos on a fully dressed set, complete with props. Bradley announced the once in a lifetime event via Facebook: We’ve been keeping this quiet for nearly a year now and it feels great to finally let you all in on it!

Composite Effects Creates Special Edition Pinhead Masks Promotion

So ironically, two days ago I was watching Clive Barker’s Hellraiser. I watched it because the iconic film turns 30 this year and being nostalgic is always fun. Then yesterday, figuratively shooting across my desk, came this news about The Priest, Pinhead himself. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of this horror icon, the folks at Composite Effects are working with Clive Barker to produce a limited run of 30 signed and numbered masks based off of Clive Barker’s original “Hell Priest” design sketches! Each mask is hand-made with meticulous care and attention to detail. Once the 30th piece is finished, the mold will be smashed in a ritual of rage and release. Along with a signed certificate of authenticity, a piece of the mold will be included with each finished mask, a sharp reminder of both pain and pleasure. Pricing and availability will be announced at Transworld. Transworld attendees will have the first opportunity to purchase on Thursday (March 23).

Ode to 80’s Horror: The Hellraiser Series

If you Google “80’s Horror”, one of the first movies that’s going to pop up is Clive Barker’s Hellraiser, along with it’s multiple (and extremely varying) sequels. Hellraiser is a Horror Film’s Horror Film. It’s a movie that any horror aficionado worth his or her salt knows and appreciates. Personally, it’s my favorite horror film (well- it’s really a three way tie between Hellraiser, Evil Dead 2, and Reanimator, but there’s time for that later.) so I couldn’t think of a better way to kick of this #Odeto80sHorror than by exploring Kirsty Cotton and her Cenobite counterparts. WHERE IT CAME FROM: The original 1987 Hellraiser film was an adapted from noted horror author Clive Barker’s novella The Hellbound Heart (it’s a quick read; I highly recommend it.) Barker would also direct the 1987 film. The screenplay adapts a romantic relationship into a father/daughter relationship, and our heroine, the young and scrappy Kirsty Cotton (played by a young Ashley Lawrence) ,
