It’s not hands that call us… it is desire.
A few weeks back, we presented our commentary for Clive Barker’s Hellraiser, the seminal 80′s cult hit that spawned perhaps the most uneven of horror franchises. As promised, this week continues our retrospective examining all 8 sequels in the popular series. We are joined in this endeavour by guest host Tom, freelance writer for Scream Magazine and fan of all things Hellraiser. Courtesy of Tom, we also have extended audio from an interview that he conducted with Pinhead himself – Doug Bradley – offering some insights into the man and the part that made him famous. In part one of our journey towards Leviathan, we discuss the remaining theatrically released Hellraiser films (parts 2-4), and as always there is a surprise or two along the way.
We hope that you enjoy our long gestating Hellraiser retrospective (an oft-requested subject from listeners), and look forward to hearing your thoughts on this series.
As always we welcome your comments:

Looking forward, as always to this episode of the podcast. I’ve been listening since about episode 175 and have been keeping up to date ever since. It is a quality broadcast that you lads provide and a constant pleasure to listen to. Although not all of the subjects totally appeal to me I always find the programmes themselves to be entertaining and informative.
I’m also currently working through the archived episodes, the latest one being the Most Dangerous Game installment (mid 90s) – so I only have about eighty more to go until I’m completely up to speed!
Thank you all very much. : )
Great episode guys – as is your wont, but still, nice work – and its especially nice to hear Tom back podcasting, as his gone, but not forgotten podcast, “The Gentleman’s Grindhouse” was absolutely top notch aural entertainment. And ‘Hellraiser’ as a group of films, is one that runs the gamut from the sublime to the ridiculous and I think all involved realised this.
As always, can’t wait to see where you go next…
Fantastic episode! Thanx!
