This episode (which originally aired in 10/19) has been re-recorded. The newest movie has been added and it has been edited for time (including removing some of the trivia and the recipe).
This week we take a look at one of the largest but somewhat lesser known franchises. "HellRaiser" has 11 movies total as well and a number of related books, comic books, documentaries, short stories, etc.
When the first "HellRaiser" movie was released back in 1986, there wasnt anything like it. S&M demons from Hell, lead by the iconic Pinhead, torture anyone who opens a mysterious puzzle box. I wanted to learn more. Despite the decline in quality of later movies (5-10 were released direct to home video) the franchise still has lots to offer.
Due to the success of the series reboot (in 2022) a sequel is supposedly in the works. I hope so. I think there's a lot more they can do with this franchise (as long as Clive Barker is involved). We need to learn more about Levithan and the other Cenobites (as well as all the people they've tortured through the centuries).
