Fear Coded

He's Got the Rizz (Hellraiser - 1987) with Cass Proffitt

Listen Later

You opened the puzzle box and you summoned us. We came with this new episode featuring guest Cass Proffitt (Distant Echoes) to talk Hellraiser from 1987 written and directed by Clive Barker.

We have such sights to show you as we protect ourselves with squishy stuffed animals, enjoy repulsive glamor, combat toxic masculinity, and support sex workers in this seminal horror piece. Jesus may have wept, but hopefully you will have a pleasurable/painful time listening to all the ways this movie is queer.

Dang, everyone is gooey and wet (again).

Note: yes, there is some weird clicking audio in the background sometimes, but it's because the Chatterer was our special guest in the background. Sorry about it.
