FLASHBACK: SEPTEMBER

Hey guys, welcome to my new section, flashbacks. Basically, each month we take an older horror movie released in that month* and pick it apart.


THIS MONTH...


HELLRAISER
Directed By Clive Barker
Release Date: !8 September 1987 

Hellraiser features one of the now most recognized villains in all of cinema: Pinhead. Originally portrayed by Doug Bradley, Pinhead has gained significant status in pop culture.
Hellraiser starts with Frank Cotton buying a small wooden puzzle box in Morocco. When he gets home, Frank takes to solving the puzzle. As soon as he slots the last piece into place, hooks and chains shoot out of the box, tearing into his flesh. The Cenobites, a group of demons intent on torturing their victims, appear. Leader, Pinhead (Bradley) collects Frank (what's left of him, anyway) and travels back to their realm. 
What ensues is a fight to fully restore Frank with the blood of others.
The ending is great. If you haven't seen it, don't let anyone tell you.


Hellraiser is a great English fright flick. Watch it in your attic, at night, and have fun!!!!
