Saturday Sinema - Hellbound: Hallraiser II


Feel the burn... 🔥🔥🔥  
Picking up right where Hellraiser left off, Hellbound: Hellraiser II expands upon the terrifying universe created in Clive Barker's original film - taking the story into the very depths of Hell itself. Having escaped the clutches of Pinhead and the demonic Cenobites, Kirsty Cotton (Ashley Laurence) awakens to finds herself detained at the Channard Institute, a hospital for the mentally ill. But her torments are far from over - the chief doctor at the institute is determined to unleash the powers of Hell to achieve his own twisted ends. Hellbound: Hellraiser II is one of the most celebrated horror sequels of all time, offering a vision that is both more gruesome and fantastical than its predecessor.

Saturday Sinema: Hellraiser

I remember when I first saw this...
Stephen King was once famously quoted as saying, "I have seen the future of horror... his name is Clive Barker." That future was realized in 1987 with the release of Barker's directorial debut Hellraiser. Based on his own novella The Hellbound Heart, Barker's Hellraiser sees Larry (Andrew Robinson) and his wife Julia (Clare Higgins) move into their new home, unaware that something evil lurks beneath the floorboards of the dilapidated house - something that wants human blood... Introducing the world to the iconic Pinhead and his sadistic band of Cenobites, Hellraiser became an instant genre classic upon release and remains one of the most frighteningly original visions in horror.

Michael's Musings

Horny For Halloween
Michael Shinafelt
This week is a special edition of my column. In case you haven't figured out that means my focus will be on Halloween this coming Monday, then I have no response to that.

Time to let loose the devil inside!

Did you know there is a line of Halloween costumes out based on the raunchy R-rated movie Sausage Party? You too can dress as a douche and offer yourself and your services up as a treat,

I am the terror that flaps in the night. That is all.

Heidi Klum always rocks the best costumes. Can't wait to see what she comes up with this year. 

No tears please, it’s a waste of good suffering.” - Pinhead, Hellraiser 

How about that clown scare this year?

Someone decided to make Hollywood Great again and smash Donald Trump's star on the Walk of Fame with a sledgehammer the day of Hillary Clinton's Birthday. What a nice Halloween treat, and Happy Birthday Madam President!

If I were a witch, I would cast spells, kill people and stuff...

"Nothing Human Loves Forever" - tag line for my favorite vampire film, The Hunger 

Let's crack open a bottle of wine and Ouija.

My all time favorite horror film is John Carpenter's Halloween. Only scary movie that ever really got under my skin, and, well scared the fuck outta me!

This Halloween I plan on attending the West Hollywood Halloween Carnival. The amount of alcohol consumed there both scares and impresses me.

The Horror! With Author M.E. Franco

Sign It In Blood...M.E!

Some Of The M.E. Franco Oeuvre
It's that time again, "Yes" it's a yearly Halloween tradition. You know, the time I get together with fellow horror (and vampire) lover author M.E. Franco and have some irreverent Halloween fun?!
M.E. after all wrote a hugely popular supernatural series of books referred to as the "Dion" series. Among other things that are literary. So let's get to it, cut a Jack-O-Lantern there's nothing to it, shriek!
MS: M.E., are you a good witch or a bad witch?

ME: Depends on my mood. When I'm a good witch, I'm very bad, and when I'm a bad witch, I'm very good.
MS: Would you check into The Cortez on "American Horror Story?"
ME: Absolutely! (I know exactly which room you can stay in BTW) 
Join Me, M.E. - Sincerely, Matt Bomer
MS: If Lady Gaga and Matt Bomer wanted to have a three way with you would you go for it, even though you would end up dead after orgasm?
ME: When it comes to the horror genre, this would definitely be my preferred way to go. Way better than getting shanked by Michael Myers. And who could say no to Matt Bomer? (hint: not me)
Ewwwwwww! Devil Germs! 
MS: Which Scream Queen would you not want to be?
ME: I'm a bad horror fan. I haven't seen this show yet, but I'm going to catch up! I wouldn't want to be the one that dies though. I want to be the one who survives and writes the best selling book about the experience along with the movie rights of course.
MS: How would you most like to off a member of a sorority?
ME: Hemlock poisoning would be a very Greek thing to do for irony, but not nearly gory enough. Recreating the shower scene in Psycho? Now that would be classic.
Pinhead: Let's Go Shopping At The Pleasure Chest
MS: Pinhead from "Hellraiser" asks you to go shopping for sex toys, do you go with him?
ME: I'd love to. I think I could learn a lot
Let's Do The Time Warp Again!
MS: Have you ever done the Time Warp?
ME: Only on rainy Saturday nights.
MS: What creature of the night would you most want to touch you when wanna be dirty?
ME: You know I'm a vampire girl!
Hey, M.E.
Gerard Butler Here For All Your Vampire Needs
MS: Name one thing a supernatural character in one of your books would never be without.
ME: A stiff dagger. (cough, cough, no comment)
MS: Have you ever taken a ride on the Highway to Hell, if so describe it.
ME: What happens on the Highway to Hell, stays on the Highway to Hell. I'll take that to my grave!
