Happy Halloween! We have a fun and fairly silly chat, going through some listener questions and feedback. The conversation goes in many directions from favourite kill of the series, sex with cenobites and what kind of cenobite we would be (which results in two new inventions, The Seasoner and Razordisk!).

We chat to Peter Atkins, the writer of Hellraiser 2, 3 & 4 and actor in Hellraiser 3 as the Bartender/Barbie Cenobite.

NOTE – in a previous podcast Peter said that The Scarlet Gospels is the third ‘Book of the Art’. It’s not. It never has been. But Peter said it is because he’s an idiot. Sorry. And it's here in the podcast description because he forgot to say it in the actual podcast. Because he's a double idiot. Sorry.

We dive into our booze soaked commentaries once more. And this time we swim in the waters of Hellraiser: Inferno.

Those questions and many more will be answered here. Disclaimer - those questions and many more may not be answered here. 

We discuss the upcoming stage production of What Monsters Do. Nicholas Vince has adapted two of his short stories for the stage and teamed up with Peter and Phil's theatre company Hidden Basement Productions to put it on! The play is part of the London Horror Festival and is on at 7:30pm at the Etcetera Theatre, Camden, London on October 25th-27th 2013. See you there!

Special guests there included Kenneth Cranham (Dr. Channard), Nicholas Vince (Chatterer), Simon Bamford (Butterball) and Geoff Portass (make up effects on both films). We recorded the Q&A sessions and here they are. NOTE - as it was a live recording of a staged event the sound quality does vary throughout. Sorry about that. But the chats were bloody brilliant!

Here it is - our commentary for Hellraiser Bloodline. It features early morning drinking, Chatter Beast bashing and our favourite character from the Hellraiser universe - Jaques. Have a drink and join us! 

In the first of 3 podcasts all about the book of short stories Hellbound Hearts, we take you through the first 7 stories.

Continuing the story from BOOM! Studios. Elliott is on Earth, but appears to have lost his memory, while Kirsty is coming to terms with her new role. Why is Tiffany helping Elliott? What happens when you open the box while in Hell? Where the Hell is Harry D'Amour? Do we like these issues as much as we liked issues 1-8? Use your ears to find the answers ...

We discuss the movie Candyman from 1992, based on Clive Barker's short story The Forbidden from The Books of Blood. Who is this mysterious man with a hook for a hand? Why is he full of bees? What happens when you say his name five times while looking into a mirror? A great 90s horror film from the same year as Hellraiser 3. 

Here we bring you a feature length commentary for Hellraiser 2. We drink some wine and chat through the second film in the series. Pop your DVD or Blu-ray in (or whatever futuristic device you have in the future!) and join us ...

The comics from 1990 continue! How does a Cenobite create puzzle guardians? Can you follow someone into Hell after they've been dragged through? Would you move into a house with a puzzle on the floor and a mysterious door to nowhere in the wall? These comics really are very good. 

We speak to Ryan, Jose and Crystal - the driving force behind Occupy Midian - the online presence to get Nightbreed: the Cabal Cut into our homes. We chat Nightbreed, Hellraiser, studios, remakes, and much more. Enjoy!

This podcast released on the 18th September 2012 - exactly 25 years after Hellraiser was released in the US! A little short podcast about our recent trip to the house where they filmed most of the movie. Unfortunately due to a technical problem the original discussion was lost, so Peter has a little chat with himself while going slightly mad. 

It's exactly 25 years since Hellraiser was released to UK screens! To mark this wonderful occasion we have recorded a feature length commentary of the movie. We talk through the film while getting a little tipsy and we invite you to join us!

We went off on an adventure to watch Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut at the Empire Cinema, Leicester Square. We discuss what we made of the new version of the movie, and chat to some of the stars to get their views. APOLOGIES for some of the poor sound quality in the Question and Answer section - we were quite a long way away from the stage!!!

The original script of Deader had nothing whatsoever to do with Hellraiser. Join us as we take a look at the differences between that script and the finished movie Hellraiser:Deader. Who is The Shark Mouth? What is a Baby Table? Why didn't they keep all the nudity? Have a listen. Go on. Do it. 

We discuss two films that Clive Barker wrote before Hellraiser - Underworld (aka Transmutations) from 1985 and Rawhead Rex from 1986. It could be argued that were it not for these films he never would have directed Hellraiser himself. And you will see why. Not to give away what we (and Clive) think of the movies, all I'll say is we use the word "rubbish" quite a lot in this episode!! RAWHEAD!!!!!!!!!

With Scott "Quantum Leap" Bakula. What is the difference between illusions and magic? Why are they screwing that iron mask onto that guy? Why was Walter Wilder cut from the Theatrical Version? Why hasn't Clive Barker directed another film? Find out the answers to a couple of these questions here ...

Clive Barker's second film - Nightbreed. Starring many people from the world of Hellraiser as well as Mr. David Cronenberg! What is Midian? Who are the Nightbreed? Why does that guy have buttons for eyes? Listen to the podcast. It is the law!
