You downloaded the podcast, we came. Now you must come with us, taste our pleasures.
We conclude our Hellraiser franchise retrospective with a look at the post-canon sequels starting with Inferno and moving through Hellseeker, Deader, Hellworld and finally Revelations. It’s a long and troubling road to travel but we tried our best to avoid falling into the potholes of complaining. A string of adapted screenplays led to what many consider to be an ultimately disapointing franchise but we must never lose sight of those elements that captivated us in the beginning.
So it’s a bit of a different wind up, particularly when we reach the ultimate insult to Hellraiser fans – Revelations. An obligation film shot to retain property rights and foisted on an unsuspecting audience in a blatant cash grab. Things may have gotten a bit heated there at the end but we do hope you join us for the ride. One thing is certain, there is an attraction to the further regions of experience the cenobites come from that will have us always hoping for a return to Leviathan.
Huge thanks to special guests Tom and Doug Bradley! The Hellraiser retrospective may have come to and end but… no tears, please. It’s a waste of good suffering.

Personally I enjoy the the first 5 Hellraiser movies (the 2nd being the best) , number 6 was okay, 7 not so good, 8 pathetic.
In all honesty, aside from the lame Pinhead in Revelations, I enjoyed it more than 7 and 8 – it did actually “feel” more like a real Hellraiser.
Revelations isn’t the complete travesty that some would have you believe.
It’s not a “good” movie per se, but there are a lot worse out there!
You think that Hellraiser Revelations is one of the worst movies ever?
Well, I have such worse sights to show you…..
If anyone is on the fence about Screem magazine, get off.
One of the Two best mags out there.
Solid episode, despite the horrific subject matter.
