Hellraiser (1987): "Looking Kink in the Eye"

Spooky Tuesday — A Horror Movie Podcast

This Pride Month, we've been messy. Toxic. Filthy. And now it's time to get a little... kinky. Grab your leather and your spikes, Spookies, because we're summoning the Cenobites with Hellraiser (1987). Written and directed by Clive Barker, the author of the original novella it was based on, this flick kicked off a major horror franchise — and it was the first to introduce audiences to the iconic figure now-known as Pinhead. We're here and we're queer all year round, but for the grand finale of our 2024 Pride lineup, we're exploring the subcultures this film has its roots in and maybe accidentally inventing some scenes of our own. Anyone out there down to become a bladder punk?
