For this edition of Beyond the Limits I’ll be talking about the painting entitled, The Believer. Once again I can’t stress enough how Clive’s artwork lets the viewer become a part of it. You’ll probably get sick of me saying that, but it’s the truth. I’ve never looked at any other...READ MORE...

For this edition of Clive’s Five, I picked out my five favorite moments from The Scarlet Gospels. It wasn’t easy since the book is filled with so many memorable passages. !SPOILERS! 1. The Opening Prologue: An opening to a novel is what sets the tone for the reader so they...READ MORE...
This review for The Nightbreed Director’s Cut is going to be a very personal one for me. My feelings on the situation go beyond the movie itself. Honestly, I never thought I’d live to see Clive Barker’s true version of the film. My heart told me it wouldn’t happen, and...READ MORE...
For this week’s Tuesday Tunes I wanted to share a cool video of film composer Simon Boswell/ The And performing music from the score he did for Lord of Illusions. This performance took place back in October of 2014 at the Leicester Square Theatre. It has a cool rock and roll...READ MORE...
“Welcome to oblivion.” – Paul Merchant For this Retro Review I’ll be talking about the leaked workprint of Hellraiser: Bloodline, which in many ways is much better than the released version, but is still miles away from what filmmakers originally had in mind. Before I begin my review though, I’d...READ MORE...
Back some time in the early ’90’s, my local record store, Bubble Records was giving away free cd’s with your purchase. I bought something (probably King a Diamond or Venom) and they threw a CD in my bag with it. What I got was “Pro-Pain: The Foul Taste of Freedom” And...READ MORE...
It’s a special celebration of our 100th Episode. In this one, Ryan, Jose, Rob, and our honorary Podcast Host David Anderson ask Clive Barker some questions, and he was kind enough to write us his responses. So to celebrate, we’re sharing the video we sent Clive with our questions, our...READ MORE...
Whenever I watch Hellraiser: Bloodline I can’t help but feel a sense of loss. Not for myself, but for the makers of the movie. After the series went a little bit off the rails with Hell On Earth, the filmmakers were adamant to make a better movie that rose above...READ MORE...
For some reason when it comes to third films in a franchise that’s usually when a series starts to fall apart. Fresh ideas begin to run out and the films become very repetitive. Thankfully this never happened to the Hellraiser franchise and even though I may not have enjoyed a...READ MORE...
It’s rare to see a sequel top the original film that spawned it, but Hellbound: Hellraiser II does just that. Many sequels usually don’t take chances and play it safe. A lot of the time they want to mirror what made the original work so well, but never bring anything...READ MORE...
Hello Friends: By now, you’ve read the review of both disc one and two, here. Leviathan is a tremendous effort that spanned a few years of work and a successful Kickstarter and it accomplished nothing short of extraordinary. This is so far the definitive Hellraiser/Hellbound documentary that fans could ever...READ MORE...
Living in the world of Clive Barker this past year has been nothing but pure bliss. Imajica was everything all the fans said it would be. A book so in love with the imagination that it inspired me to start working on my own novel. Then I dove right into...READ MORE...
First, let me start out by saying this is a 3-disc set, of which the disc I’m reviewing has a running time of 4 hours 37 minutes! I didn’t even know a DVD could be that long without swapping discs. Peter Jackson, take note! It’s a whole new world of...READ MORE...
After recently finishing The Scarlet Gospels I had a strong yearning to watch both the original Hellraiser and Lord of Illusions. I guess I need Harry and Pinhead in my life right now. I can’t shake them off after reading such a fantastic book. The original Hellraiser film was released...READ MORE...
I’ll admit I’m not a big fan of memes but the ones over at the official Clive Barker Facebook page that have been popping up as of late have really caught my interest. And they’re obviously very popular with the fan base because they continue to crank them out two...READ MORE...
