Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more!
This week, with the new version of "Hellraiser" now out on Hulu, Ryan and Chris take this time to look back on the adaptations of Clive Barker's work. We start with 1988's "Hellbound: Hellraiser II" a sequel that, while not as groundbreaking as the first film, we argue is as every bit an equal to the first film in terms of craft and genuine nightmare imagery (we also spend a little time talking about the "Hellraiser" series as a whole, including the new film). Then, we move into the 2020 iteration of "Books of Blood," a generic TV horror anthology in which only one of the segments is based on a Barker story, but it doesn't matter because the whole thing is misguided. Finally, we move into another misguided movie based on a short from Barker's Books of Blood, albeit a very fun one (and has been a long-time coming since it appears on our podcast logo): the 1986 creature-feature, "Rawhead Rex."
