If you could sum up The Hellbound Heart in three words, what would they be?
Um… Hellraiser’s Origins Story
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Hellbound Heart?
The fact that I had NO idea that Clive Barker wrote this as a short story before he wrote the screen play for the movie Hellraiser. For someone who grew up in the 80s you would think I would have known that especially since I like that movie. Anyway… The book is better than the movie, because they ran out of money. “So, Barker and a “Greek guy” animated these scenes (the end sequences) by hand over a single weekend. Barker has also commented that he thinks the FX turned out very well considering the amount of alcohol the two consumed that weekend.” (Quoted from IMDb)
Which scene was your favorite?
When the Engineer shows up
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
No. The whole thing is pretty twisted.
Any additional comments?
If you are a Barker fan, this is a must. If you liked the movie Hellraiser, this is a must. If you just like a good, weird horror short story I guess you could make this a must. Give it a shot, you might like it.
