10 Things You Didn't Know About Hellraiser 87

Thank fucking God Doug Bradley's voice didn't get over dubbed. Every line he says is so good and delivered perfectly

They did actually augment his voice to sound deeper and boomey. It isn't 100% his voice but the acting is all Bradley.

Met Doug Bradley back in 2005ish at a Horror Convention. Was such a classy man. Took time to answer countless questions from us fans as well as stand up for more selfies than a 14yr old girls Instagram acct has. Showed him my Hellraiser tattoo which he complemented. Also met Ashley Laurence at the same convention. I have a mahogany and brass Lament Cube signed by them both along with a few Cenobite actors from a few of the later movies. My prize possession.

[@Dommommy]

For your consideration, Mr. H here on KZbin has readings from the comics that are certainly worth a watch/listen. He has a wonderful voice. I'd leave a link but it's iffy whether it will stay up but if you type in Mr. H reading Hellraiser comics you should be able to see it. Well done on the Lament Cube!

[@dananichols349]

You should have mentioned one of the reasons for the iconic Pinhead makeup. Originally, the story goes, the makeup didn't include the vertical and horizontal lines. It was going to be just a bunch of pins sticking out of his head. However, it was the makeup people who drew a picture that included the lines so they'd have a grid to go by where they would place the pins. Apparently, Clive Barker saw the picture and thought it made a nice addition to the visual. He told the makeup artists to include it in the final makeup, and the rest is horror history.

[@MamaPinks]

Cool!

[@EdsterIII]

Thanks for that information. I always love learning new things about my favorite horror movies. Whether it's the backstage processes, the make-up, the effects, or the crazy special effects that they use, it's always great to learn more about the world or horror movies. Thank you again! Much obliged, and appreciated!

[@Will-dn9dq]

Doug Bradley actually helped apply the makeup I'm assuming pins after having seen it done to him after so many weeks if different films. They didn't ask him to be in the last film they rushed to keep the copyright on. Some films must be made so the company rights don't expire. An I don't even want to watch the one wo Doug. Looks like blockbuster recommended b movie that doesn't sell so they recommended it.

This is a brilliant video, Minty. The way you describe the authority and nobility of Pinhead is spot on.

[@Cydonia2020]

I showed this movie in my college theater back in 1987 when I was a poor and starving projectionist. It wasn’t scheduled to be shown, but was used as a replacement when the originally scheduled film did not arrive in time. I remember people in the audience being utterly stunned by how violent and scary this movie was. I even remember someone (I presume a girl) screaming when Uncle Frank sliced open the rat. And when Frank said “Jesus wept”, just before he was finally torn apart? Truly a disturbing experience.

One other thing about the Priest from the book, the creature's pins were all decorated with gemstones and other pretty trinkets. The entire look of the Cenobites was that they were beautiful, yet horrible to behold at the same time. Pleasure and pain, heaven and hell, indivisible...

This is a great description of Pinhead. He's like some sadistic plumber or electrician who gets called out then given a lot of crap form the homeowner. He has the ultimate, "Look, _you_ called _me._ I don't want to be here, but I've got a job to do. It doesn't matter you don't want to be torn apart., That's what you ordered, not me.

I quite literally had the store I used memorized so much it could have been my own personal VHS collection. So when I turned 15 and was legally allowed to get a job I tried and tried to get hired on there but was never able to. Which sucked because it would've been my dream job back when I was 15.

[@waymire01]

You have quite a bit of the sequel mixed in with your video clips. The special effects achieved in this film, considering the filming conditions and budget, are astonishing. A true testament to the sheer talent of those involved. It was very much a labor of love for the material and it shows. The footage of frank "growing" out of the floorboards is one of the best things put to film practically, and it was completely made up on the spot. For anyone who has only seen the later movies.. the first two are something special and on a completely different level. Fun fact about the sequel, you can see the crew in the shot of the demon chasing her down the hallway if you look closely, pushing it along on a trolley.

I had a bootleg copy of the full Coil soundtrack and I thought it was brilliant. If they'd used it I'm sure it would've given the film a really creepy and uncanny feeling. Coil have this ability to write music that can really get under your skin, their use of occult themes and sexuality strike a bit of a nerve in most people. Their music can be very unsettling.

[@ElMalito187]

Fun fact: I shared this tidbit on a different video about H.R. Giger's Influence. May it help anyone who finds this info worthy. Many are unaware of this tidbit but Clive Barker was and still is one of H.R. Giger's greatest fans. Prior to making the 1987's Hellraiser, Mr. Barker would frequent underground nightclub BDSM themed in the downtown area of Manhattan. This would setup the unique leather design to the Cenobites. But he did this to bring upon uniqueness to his movie and not "just carbon copy and paste another man's life's work without proper credit". Mr. Barker was enamored by Giger's works and obviously thanks in part to the 1979's Alien movie. The original Cenobites were actually going to be more "biomechanical" than "organic leathery attire". But along the way Mr. Barker did wanted to leave some of the core designs intact from Giger's works. As a way to pay homage to Mr. Giger's artistic inspiration. In fact Mr. Barker did show his Cenobites designs to H.R. giger to get feedback. Mr. Giger ultimately gave it the proverbial thumbs up. So yeah. The reality is the universe of Hellraiser was going to be more akin to biomechanical than leathery skin whatever. Edit: Forgot to add this tidbit. Mr. Barker did keep the chalky white skin for Pinhead and for the female Cenobite(s) in the first and subsequent films. Obviously paying homage to Giger's white and black airbrush works. Edit 2: Taking a step back to see the Cenobites as they are screams H.R. Giger's Necronomicon IV. Edit 3: Believe it or not the majority of the SFX teams for Hellraiser 1-4 went to go work 1997's Event Horizon. For many years people have drawn a strong conclusion that Event Horizon and Hellraiser share the same universe. Go watch Mr H Reviews video on and All Sewn Up video on it as well. Mr H Reviews brought his understanding about the connection and All Sewn Up did quite an extensive analysis of both films and basically how they relate more than it should because yeah The Leviathan is one scary freaking entity. And it's really freaking scary how The Gravity Drive looks 😳 way to much like The Lament Configuration. Both things opens up holes/gateways to another universe. Edit 4: Go watch HR Giger The Monster Maker by Blind Dweller. That's where I wrote my initial tidbit on the matter of Clive Barker's association with H.R. Giger. Edit 5: When I said more biomechanical than organic leather design I want the audience to see it this way, as in picture The Borgs from Star Trek The Next Generation or even more wildler The Zombified Cyborg Parents from Return of The Living Dead 4 Necropolis. Yeah somehow the Zombified Cyborg Parents are as close to the original design of Tne Cenobites. Go figure. Edit 6: The new Hellraiser 2022 is Clive Barker's original Cenobites biomechanical design(s). Back then in 1987 it was not really feasible due to budget constraints. Edit 7: Check out Tortured Souls: Animae Damnatae. All I can say is wow 👌

I'm trying to rewatch and comment on your older videos to give you a boost. Until recently I was never a fan of pure horror, even one held in high regard seemed cheesy.

In this last year I have tried to watch more pure horror and this was one of the first I sought out. There are already horror movies higher up on my lest but I really like this movie. What I mean by pure horror is opposed to the other movies that I have always loved that have strong Sci-fi or comedy element. I've always loved movies like the Alien movies and Dog Soldiers.

"I have such sites to show you ...", I love this film and could watch it while eating an extremely rare stake (and I'm a Vegan ...)

[@lt.aldoraine9161]

First. Love your content Minty! Thanks for all you do to entertain us. This movie freaked me out as a kid. Great stuff haha. One of the classics. Oh an thanks for the ps5! Lol

[@juanpablosaenz9037]

I watched Hellraiser 1 and 2 recently, I am catching up with the classics and I liked them a lot...Ashley Lawrence is very easy on the eyes, a really gorgeous woman.

[@wstine79]

Minty has such sights to show you. And PS5s.

[@HeroicRecaps]

What a waste of good suffering.

[@mikespearwood3914]

Shit! I had the original PS back in the 90's and never bothered with #2 - #5. Was going to get it if the FF7 remake was good, but it seems pretty mediocre from what I've seen.

[@matthewburry4905]

Another great video, Minty! Love your content! Always makes my day better :)

[@mrdth1987]

I can’t lie as a Brit the studio not wanting it set in London does make me a little angry

[@Xbipodcast]

lol loved how you put the ps5 thing on there lol it happened to me before too love your stuff minty i am always learning from you thank you for the hard work you put on these videos.

[@jakespeed6515]

Great video on this Minty, but I will say in the words of the late Kilindi Lyi , don’t buy that copy of the Hellraiser puzzle Box from the shop and drink your mushroom Soup.

[@JustinCase-ey4ok]

Thank you for doing this one, one of my favorite movies. I would to see one on Nightbreed/Cabal

[@AlatheD]

"If I did have a heap of PS5s, I've give them to you for free." Yeah, but you'd make me pay shipping the US, right? LOL You rock, Minty. There was actually a lot in this one that I didn't know.

[@jbowDonDiego1380]

I met Clive barker and Doug Bradley in 2019 ( as seen in my profile picture here ) both 💯 classy gentlemen so so so nice!

[@arredond]

glad you did this one minty! do part II please

[@RodneyAllanPoe]

In Australia, Roadshow cut HELLRAISER to get an M classification in cinemas. The longer R version was released on VHS rental, but of course that's the censored US R version. Barker now say he prefers the censored US R theatrical edit, which means there will never be an official full version.

[@JustJames83]

Minty you absolute rock star! Thank you for telling me lots of things I did not know about the very first Horror movie I ever saw you sir are King

[@mikesilva3868]

Dr. Claw: I'll get you next time, Gadget. Next time! M.A.D Cat: Meeeoww! Inspector gadget reference great video 🎃

[@Daemonarch2k6]

I think it's about time that i start watching hellraiser movies

[@MadHax-wt5tl]

I read in Fangoria, back in the day. One of the reasons the budget was increased was because of the scene where Frank is resurrected. Originally he just stepped out of a wall, but the studio actually gave them more money so they could do something more spectacular.

[@jacobbouser4190]

Great as always, Minty. Please review Razorback!!!

[@karatefella]

Ashley Laurence was gorgeous in this film !

[@dgattenb]

we used to live down the road from were the film was shot in Cricklewood , north london ... there used to a huge fil studio there .... its now flats .. it was an arts centre for a while ...

[@BradleyRegister]

Man if they would’ve stuck with the Coil score, I bet that would’ve been iconic. I wish there was some way to hear it.

[@midnightmosesuk]

I used to own a bootleg copy of the original Coil soundtrack. It was excellent. Very slow and creepy. The main Hellraiser theme was excellent. I've lost it now, haven't seen the cassette tape for years.

[@midnightmosesuk]

Hey! Look what I found: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJqud6Omf7F6psU

[@BradleyRegister]

@@midnightmosesuk Mondo has pressed vinyl for the first 2 Hellraiser films and the new one (maybe more). Think I’m going to grab the first one for sure!

[@louhodo5761]

I saw this movie when I was 11 and... Well it left a mark. To this day I do not mess with puzzle boxes.
