Hello Friends: 31 years ago, The Prince Charles Cinema hosted a charity premiere of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser. The very next day it would hit cinemas in the UK. The US would have to wait an extra week to see the cenobites fill the screen as mysterious apparitions in an empty room with...READ MORE...
This past week Clive Barker’s final directorial effort Lord of Illusions turned twenty-three. To celebrate the occasion, I wanted to share an older interview with actor Scott Bakula that he did with the website ScreenRealm back in 2016. While most of the conversation centers around the popular show Quantum Leap, he had...READ MORE...
Author and screenwriter Peter Atkins has shared a rare photograph from the Clive Barker directed short film, The Forbidden on his Twitter page today. It was supposed to show up in what Atkins describes as a “psychotic moment” in the film. They both certainly look crazy. Too bad they couldn’t edit the...READ MORE...
Reading anything by author Peter Atkins (screenwriter for Hellbound, Hell on Earth, and Bloodline) is always a joy for me. I recently read a couple of his latest short stories and once again Atkins delivers the goods when it comes to his unique style of storytelling. He does an excellent...READ MORE...
Hello Friends: In this special video interview for YouTube, the @BarkerCast Interviews Joe Manco about “The Torturer” short film, now crowdfunding on IndieGogo.

I don’t know about many of our listeners, but I look at the world we live in today and can’t help but feel how ugly it’s becoming. With each passing day there’s a heightened anxiety when I walk outside around other people, and I don’t like it. Maybe that’s why...READ MORE...
Flesh and the Forbidden; A Marriage of Heaven and Hell An Imaginer V Review “I am a man, and men are animals who tell stories. This is a gift from God, who spoke our species into being, but left the end of our story untold. That mystery is troubling to...READ MORE...
To celebrate the announcement of the impending 4K release of the original Candyman on bluray by Arrow Video, I thought I’d do a Clive Barker Podcast’s Scene of the Week from the movie. I’ve chosen the haunting scene where Professor Philip Purcell recounts the story of how Daniel Robitaille becomes...READ MORE...
The first time I saw Hellraiser it was on a terrible VHS copy that was muddled with horrible tracking lines. Most of the beautiful visuals for the movie were lost, but at least all the gory makeup effects by Image Animation I could still see. Thankfully the story was so...READ MORE...
For this Tuesday Tunes I wanted to share a song by the group Shock called ‘Dynamo Beat’ who actress Barbie Wilde (Female Cenobite) from Hellbound: Hellraiser II was involved with earlier in her career.
