Under the Skin: Doug Bradley on Hellraiser – archival interview with the iconic actor about his first appearance as ‘Pinhead’

Flesh is a Trap – A brand new 18 minute video essay from Guy Adams created exclusively for this release. Similar to his previous video essays for Arrow Video, Adams delivers another top-notch featurette that discusses Barker’s fascination with flesh and body horror in his work. The quotes from Barker were fascinating to listen to. Being Frank: Sean Chapman on Hellbound – Another 11 minute archival interview with Sean Chapman talking about his role as Frank in the sequel. He mentions how he’s not in Hellbound as much as the original, as well as the experiences on set. It’s another good watch. In the 1980s, Clive Barker changed the face of horror fiction, throwing out the rules to expose new vistas of terror and beauty, expanding the horizons for every genre writer who followed him. With Hellraiser, his first feature film, he did the same for cinema. Regardless of how you feel about the film, Hellraiser: Bloodline is unquestionably one of the more unique entries in the franchise. It's the one that takes Pinhead to space, the one that features an impossibly young-looking Adam Scott in full-blown 1796 dandy mode (powdered wig and all), the one that's more-or-less an anthology film. Depending on where you stand, the wild swings Hellraiser: Bloodline takes might be features or bugs, though there's no wondering where the film's director, Kevin Yagher, stands on the theatrically-released version: he had his name removed, choosing instead to release the film under an "Alan Smithee" credit.
