“If you’re going to meet Lucifer, you should clean up a little bit…” - Chris on Uncle Frank

On this week’s episode, it’s our outrageous show from the U.K. where, on night two of our residency, we performed this wild We ❤️ Movies set on the fantastic horror classic, Hellraiser! How great are all these practical effects? Who in their right mind would move into this house in the state it’s in when they arrive? How awkward is this horrendous dinner party? Why were they dubbing all these English actors, pretending this film was supposed to take place in America? And this guy is cinema’s worst Uncle Frank, right? PLUS: Be sure to tune into the latest cooking show sensation, Gordon Ramsay’s Chicken Nightmares! 

Hellraiser stars Andrew Robinson, Clare Higgins, Ashley Laurence, Sean Chapman, Oliver Smith, Frank Baker, Robert Hines, Nicholas Vince, Simon Bamford, Grace Kirby, and Doug Bradley as Pinhead; directed by Clive Barker.

So happy this one came out as I was happy to see it on a lineup in UK then sad I couldn't go. Now all that's left before the Direct to DVD sequels is the second one. I keep eyeing that 4K box set they have of the first four films from Arrow.

Evan

Ha, that's funny I just watched The Cell last night. And it was ok 👍

Tony King

This was so much fun to see live (despite the crazy heat in the room!). I've been looking forward to these being released.

Oy

Eren Keskin

Please don’t call me 'pinhead.'

DMAC

British Hellraiser be like: You solved the box, we came, bit odd innit.

Adam Lewis

As Andrew said of another Hellraiser movie, "No, dude, you're just a pervert." Words to live by.

Kevin Lynch

As a ,former, fan of boxing I can say; yes you most certainly pantomime the fight while watching. Even by yourself; you really can’t help but do it

Robert Walton

I've seen this at least 10 times and somehow never noticed the dubbing.

Billie Jackson

It still makes me wonder what the series would have been like if they had gone with Barker's original plan of moving ahead with Julia as the lead villain at the end of the second film. Would a sequel have failed and Pinhead return, or would a focus on other characters have led to less unrelated scripts being rewritten into Hellraiser properties that stray from the stronger early installments?

Lar

Waaaaait how did I never put together the dad being Garak?? If I see that guy now I’m like “oh he’s from ds9” but I guess him in the late 80s or w/e didn’t register.

Hellraiders of the Lost Ark That's all

Rose Esposito

It takes very little to prompt Steve into a Fozzie Bear impression. Like remarkably little.

Inspectah_Raz

Gonzo into the pleasures of the flesh is making be bust out at the gym

Tom Mann

the kool aid man 😁

Craig

Any Pinhead appearance on the pod is welcome (whether on a Hellraiser ep or not), but “A Cenobite Christmas Carol” might be the best yet.

Busiris

Perfect sound quality on this one. 🤌 I admit this franchise is aggressively not for me but I somewhat hold it in some regard because it came out the same day I was born, so I'm exactly as old as this movie. 🎂

Ed Harris

Always dug this one, though I like the second film even better. This one sets the table nicely, the second one delivers a better overall meal.

DMAC

Cenobite Tiny Tim had me Dom DeLuise laughing.

Emil Svensson

Andrew has obviously been working on his sick Victorian child impression and it's paid dividends.

Todd B

Re: the Dickensian Orphan Cenobite - Funny on its own. Even funnier when you realize that idea is more inventive than what's offered in at least half the movies. Post Bloodline the Cenobite design gets...about the same level of attention and effort as everything else in those later sequels.

Matt

Superbeast

Mike Mullan

ROFL with every Andre the Giant mention. Andre cenobite, getting stuck up in the room, the cenobites and Andre the Giant. Pure gold

Lar

If I had a nickel for every time they made a Muppets Hellraiser joke on this podcast, I’d have two nickels.

Gareth Spark

One of THE best nights out I've ever had (despite the heat!!!)

Shanda P.

My favorite for 2025

Zora McBride

Hell yeah, great movie and I can't wait to hear your takes! I thoroughly enjoyed the GG ep on Darth Vader--sounds like everyone had a fantastic time in the U.K. Love you guys. Stay safe out there.

Zora McBride

Awesome! Yeah, I heard them talking about the heat in the Darth Vader GG as well. I'm glad you had a great time!
