Clive Barker

Every day, come rain or shine or internet tubes breaking, Film School Rejects showcases a trailer from the past. If you love horror, you love this movie. Or you hate it. Tastes are so fickle these days. Still, if you know it, you remember the deft dialogue from Clive Barker as well as the creature design that looked like a shrunken mummy head got covered in raspberry jam. Watch out, Ireland! It’s…that…it’s that thing! Think you know what it is? Check the trailer out for yourself:

Coroner

It’s Halloween time (close enough, jerk bags!) so I’m turning the Coroner’s Report into a horror column! Wait what? Exactly. This is always a horror column, because that kind of thing is my bag, baby. But now it’s also part of the 31 Days of Horror and in honor of that, I’m jumping into the way back machine and traveling to 1987 to bring you an in-depth look at Clive Barker’s Hellraiser. This dark, gothic horror film follows Larry, his daughter Kirsty, and his second wife Julia as they move into a house previously occupied by the bad boy brother Frank. Written for the page and the screen by Clive Barker, who also directed, Hellraiser gave birth to one of the iconic characters of the genre: Pinhead. He’s what’s known as a Cenobite, an interdimensional traveler who bills himself as an angel to some, a demon to others. If your religion is all about hooks tearing your body apart, he’s an angel. If that’s your idea of hell, well… The crux of the story is Frank, who has escaped from the Cenobite Hell and seeks Julia’s help in returning to form. To do this, there will have to be murders and sacrifices. Duh.
