Hellraiser Podcast

We discuss the 2009 movie Book of Blood, based on two short stories from Clive Barker's fantastic collection The Books of Blood.

Will Holmes be able to solve the...

We discuss the otherworldly, demonic (to some) beings known as the Cenobites. What are they? What do they do? Who's your favourite? As part of this discussion we reveal the amount of time Pinhead appears on screen in all 10 movies. The results might surprise you!  We also discuss the recent news of a new Hellraiser reboot to be written by David S. Goyer.  @HellraiserCast

We talk about the movie Quicksilver Highway, based on short stories by Stephen King and Clive Barker. Should you ever accept giant chattery teeth as a gift? What should you do if your hands start plotting against you? What is Christopher Lloyd wearing?!? Enjoy!   @HellraiserCast

An interview with the new Pinhead - Paul T. Taylor. He discusses details about the new movie Hellraiser: Judgement, what it feels like to become an instant horror icon, what his process was to become Pinhead, and much more. And no, he doesn't know when the movie is coming out.  @HellraiserCast

We're baaaack! Here it is folks - our commentary to Hellraiser: Revelations. We kick back with a bottle of sambuca to help us through and discuss the movie. Warning - we get a bit silly. We also discover during recording that Phil's new house is haunted. Enjoy!  @HellraiserCast
