can people who have never read the hellbound heart stop pretending that hellraiser 2022 was somehow more accurate to the hellbound heart

#my greatest pet peeve #its barely over 100 pages long you can read it in one sitting please im begging you #hellraiser #clive barker #pinhead #cenobites #horror movies #the hellbound heart

I have been informed this is the plot to they/them. I forgot that movie existed. in my defense this was a draft i wrote years ago and never posted

but i still stand by it would be better as a Friday the 13th movie bc Jason is cool

this isnt even a joke, make a Friday the 13th about a gay conversion camp

1. everyone loves to see Jason kill people who deserve it and the counselors here, or whatever you call them, are perfect

2. the only people insane enough to open another camp in Crystal Lake are the people insane enough to open a gay conversion camp to begin with

the fact that freddy’s dream videogame looked nothing like an actual videogame is perhaps the most boomer thing he could have ever done

Evil Dead Rise is good but more importantly I’m here to tell you that this actor from episode 7 of Ash vs Evil Dead is in it as an entirely new character & i dont know if anyone else has pointed this out

he’s been upgraded from right wing militia bit character to shemp, truly living in the footsteps of ted raimi

everyone talks about how fucked the Halloween timeline is but i never see anyone talk about how absolutely unintelligible the Texas Chainsaw Massacre continuity is, and none of the charts online do its incomprehensibility justice, so I made my own

So I was actually scrolling through your older posts and I saw the one about "Your favorite movie of the evil dead franchise says a lot about you." And I got v curious to know if I'll fit into the square lmao! (mine is Evil Dead II. Iconic. Truly a masterpiece.)

I'm not sure how to put into words what each movie says about everyone, but Evil Dead 2 is the correct choice.

Mainly people who pick ED1 like their stuff strict n serious and people who pick AoD are all for goofy silly chicanery. ED2 fans harness the power of both

This is one of the gnarliest designs I’ve seen, not just in Hellraiser, but horror period. Perfect Cenobite, best new one we’ve seen since Doc in HR2.

this is just making me wish all the more that this wasn’t a remake but have some connection to the originals

ok with the Hellraiser remake making big headlines around I do actually want to do a serious post regarding the whole gender fiasco because i see SO much misinformation out there about The Hellbound Heart/Hellraiser

and rest easy bc no, im not going to bitch about Pinhead being female in the remake im just going to bitch about people misinterpreting the book

Hellraiser is already one of the most misunderstood franchises in popculture, and so consider this post a PSA: No, Pinhead is not a woman in the book and saying so completely misses the books themes of gender and sexual standards

I see this ALL the time in comments or clickbait articles, usually as a “gotcha” about how Hollywood fucks up book adaptations, and simply put it’s just incorrect. Pinhead, like all the cenobites, were described as being so heavily mutilated, and wearing such atypical dress, that Frank could not discern their sex.

But the other thing that irks me is the amount of people who recognize them as androgynous, nonbinary, nonconforming, whatever it is book Pinhead was, but interpreting that as meaning “implied female” or “female coded/leaning.” Or they write an article saying “Pinhead was akshually a girl” and then 10 paragraphs down say “well, not really, but probably.” People mostly say this because of the “excited girl” description of their voice, but that one description is taken SO far out of context and undermines their purpose in the book

The purpose of describing the Cenobites as sexless is to demonstrate how they completely smash gender barriers; they are the total inversion of traditional western lifestyle. Their dress is all the same horrific combination of mutilation and bondage; their features are so scarred even their bodies leave no trace of any physical difference in sex. Yes, Pinhead had a high-pitched voice, but interpreting that as meaning “female” would put them back in the gender-norm box that the Cenobite’s entire purpose is to break from. Just like Doug Bradley wearing a skirt doesn’t make his Pinhead female, the book Pinhead having a high pitched voice also doesn’t make them female. They could be, yea, but not for that reason. They are sexless, and when it comes to discussions of the book, that’s how it should remain

So basically I am on my hands and knees begging people to stop saying the remake casting Jamie Clayton makes it suddenly so much more “faithful” to the book, or the original casting Doug Bradley was somehow a big sin even though it was Clive Barker’s personal casting decision (Doug was a theatre friend). Plus, the agender qualities are still present in the films, but mostly shown in their dress.

It’s also important to remember Pinhead had literally like 2 lines of dialogue in the novella. Changing Pinhead to a man, especially when he wasn’t supposed to be the main franchise villain, was really insignificant. So, casting Jamie is just exploring a different possibility.

I’m glad they went with female for a remake, but I still don’t wish we were getting a remake at all and instead a sequel to answer the questions left unanswered in Hellraiser 2, but that’s another topic entirely lol

But here’s to hoping we get the first good Hellraiser movie in 30 years, and I’m sure Jamie does a great job in the role
