Hellraiser: Inferno

Hunt for the Engineer and the Engineer will hunt you. Join PJ and Derek as they attempt to solve the grimy, guilt-ridden puzzle at the heart of a noir-influenced nightmare in Scott Derrickson’s Hellraiser: Inferno (2000). In this episode the guys follow corrupt detective Joseph Thorne through a hellish maze of murder, addiction, and self-destruction, while digging into the film’s surreal atmosphere, psychological horror, minimal use of Pinhead, and the surprisingly existential direction that helped redefine the series for the direct-to-video era. 📺 Follow us @thirdchannelpodcast on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565443154871&mibextid=LQQJ4d], Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/thirdchannelpodcast?igsh=MWkzYWE1MmpsOTk4ZQ==], Threads [https://www.threads.net/@thirdchannelpodcast], & YouTube [https://youtube.com/@thirdchannelpodcast?si=6jr9uOIKvkb-AOUf] and @thirdchannelpod on Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/thirdchannelpod.bsky.social], Twitter [https://x.com/thirdchannelpod?s=21], & Letterboxd [https://boxd.it/bME4D].

Hellraiser: Bloodline

Welcome to Oblivion! Amen. Join PJ and Derek as they dismantle the ambitious, but fractured sequel that took the Cenobites from 18th century France to the far reaches of deep space in Kevin Yagher’s Hellraiser: Bloodline (1996). In this episode the guys dig into the troubled production history that gave us the “Alan Smithee” cut, unpack the mythology of the Lament Configuration, celebrate the film’s twisted practical effects, and ask whether they consider this an underrated cult oddity or the moment the franchise lost its soul. 📺 Follow us @thirdchannelpodcast on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565443154871&mibextid=LQQJ4d], Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/thirdchannelpodcast?igsh=MWkzYWE1MmpsOTk4ZQ==], Threads [https://www.threads.net/@thirdchannelpodcast], & YouTube [https://youtube.com/@thirdchannelpodcast?si=6jr9uOIKvkb-AOUf] and @thirdchannelpod on Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/thirdchannelpod.bsky.social], Twitter [https://x.com/thirdchannelpod?s=21], & Letterboxd [https://boxd.it/bME4D].

Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth

Oh, you wouldn’t believe what I can dream of now. Join PJ and Derek as they dive headfirst into the chaotic nightmare that turned Pinhead into a horror icon in Anthony Hickox’s Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992). In this episode the guys explore how the film transformed the series from intimate body horror into supernatural splatter spectacle, the MTV-era aesthetic that gives the movie its distinct identity, with its elaborate Cenobite designs and unforgettable practical effects, and whether this sequel deserves reevaluation as a cult classic. 📺 Follow us @thirdchannelpodcast on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565443154871&mibextid=LQQJ4d], Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/thirdchannelpodcast?igsh=MWkzYWE1MmpsOTk4ZQ==], Threads [https://www.threads.net/@thirdchannelpodcast], & YouTube [https://youtube.com/@thirdchannelpodcast?si=6jr9uOIKvkb-AOUf] and @thirdchannelpod on Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/thirdchannelpod.bsky.social], Twitter [https://x.com/thirdchannelpod?s=21], & Letterboxd [https://boxd.it/bME4D].

Hellbound: Hellraiser II

And to think… I hesitated. Join PJ and Derek as they descend into the labyrinth of Hell itself in Tony Randel’s grotesque and operatic sequel Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988). In this episode the guys explore the wild expansion of Clive Barker’s nightmarish mythology, through the bleak asylum setting, the transformation of the sinister Dr. Channard, the full unveiling of Leviathan’s twisted domain, and the film’s shift from intimate horror to dark fantasy spectacle. 📺 Follow us @thirdchannelpodcast on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565443154871&mibextid=LQQJ4d], Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/thirdchannelpodcast?igsh=MWkzYWE1MmpsOTk4ZQ==], Threads [https://www.threads.net/@thirdchannelpodcast], & YouTube [https://youtube.com/@thirdchannelpodcast?si=6jr9uOIKvkb-AOUf] and @thirdchannelpod on Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/thirdchannelpod.bsky.social], Twitter [https://x.com/thirdchannelpod?s=21], & Letterboxd [https://boxd.it/bME4D].

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser

We have such sights to show you! Join PJ and Derek as they open the puzzle box and step into a world where desire and suffering are hopelessly intertwined in Clive Barker’s directorial debut Hellraiser (1987). In this episode the guys explore the film’s striking practical effects, its unapologetically dark themes, and the unforgettable presence of Pinhead as both villain and philosopher, which redefined 1980s horror, stepping away from slashers to deliver something far more psychological, sensual, and grotesque. 📺 Follow us @thirdchannelpodcast on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565443154871&mibextid=LQQJ4d], Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/thirdchannelpodcast?igsh=MWkzYWE1MmpsOTk4ZQ==], Threads [https://www.threads.net/@thirdchannelpodcast], & YouTube [https://youtube.com/@thirdchannelpodcast?si=6jr9uOIKvkb-AOUf] and @thirdchannelpod on Bluesky [https://bsky.app/profile/thirdchannelpod.bsky.social], Twitter [https://x.com/thirdchannelpod?s=21], & Letterboxd [https://boxd.it/bME4D].
