Hellraiser (2022)

Accept the pain you have wrought. Greater delights await. Join PJ and Derek as they again open the puzzle box and descend into the dark, seductive reimagining of Clive Barker’s horror classic in David Bruckner’s Hellraiser (2022). In this episode the guys explore how the film expands the lore of the Cenobites and Lament Configuration for a modern audience, from its stunning visual design and gruesome practical effects to its themes of desire, addiction, and the price of obsession, plus whether this reboot succeeds in honoring the legacy of the franchise while carving out its own identity. 📺 Join us on Third Channel Patreon [https://www.patreon.com/ThirdChannelPodcast?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator] to support the show and gain access to bonus content!

Hellraiser: Hellworld

Like a bad horror movie, isn't it? This week PJ and Derek are joined by Producer Ty as they log into the darkest corner of the internet where they are invited to a lavish mansion party in Rick Bota’s Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005). In this episode they unpack the film's unusual blend of slasher tropes, internet-age paranoia, and Cenobite mythology along with its surprising cast members, twist-heavy narrative, and where this ultimately fits within the increasingly complicated puzzle box of the franchise. 📺 The last time we heard from Producer Ty was for our discussion on Candyman [https://thirdchannelpodcast.buzzsprout.com/2404382/episodes/18633778-candyman-2021] (2021).
