It is also available now on the Arrow streaming platform. Flesh is a Trap - brand new visual essay exploring body horror and transcendence in the work of Clive Barker by genre author Guy Adams (The World House) Under the Skin: Doug Bradley on Hellraiser - archival interview with the iconic actor about his first appearance as 'Pinhead' Lost in the Labyrinth - archival featurette featuring interviews with Barker, Randel, Keen, Atkins and others

Unrated Version – Containing standard definition inserts for the unrated footage, this was included on Arrow’s prior Blu-ray release and is included in 4K UHD, alongside the theatrical cut of the film. Books of Blood and Beyond: The Literary Works of Clive Barker – An archival 20 minute appreciation by David Gatwalk of Barker’s written work. This was included on previous Arrow Video releases and it’s a decent watch. Gatwalk talks about how love for the work of Barker and is enthusiastic about the work, which makes the featurette a fun watch.Being Frank: Sean Chapman on Hellraiser – An archival interview with Sean Chapman, who openly talks about his experiences playing Frank in Hellraiser. He spoke about how he wanted to be an actor from a young age, with his mother being in the industry too. He also mentions his early work with Alan Clarke, the 6 days he spent on set for Hellraiser and more. It’s a great interview that’s highly worth a 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.

Unbearable, isn’t it? The suffering of strangers, the agony of friends. There is a secret song at the center of the world, Joey, and its sound is like razors through flesh.” A selection of trailers and TV spots are included, as well as an image gallery. Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth extrasBob Keen’s effects work here is jaw-dropping, as previously mentioned and some of the transformation sequences in the film as we see Frank return to a more humanistic form are fantastic. Christopher Young’s now-iconic score really adds to the theatrical feel of the picture and Barker’s direction is fairly excellent for a newcomer to the genre. A histrionic, hyperbolic quote it may be…but when it comes from the lips of one Stephen King (himself referencing it from a quote about, ironically, The Boss…Bruce Springsteen), it really shouldn’t be so easily dismissed as mere marketing fluff. Lost in the Labyrinth– An archival 17 minute featurette about Hellbound: Hellraiser II that contains interviews with Clive Barker, Tony Randel, Bob Keen and more. Similar to the Resurrection featurette included on the first disc, it’s a watch that’s worth viewing for the die-hard fans and offers a good retrospective on the film. Hell Was What They Wanted! – A brand new hour and 25 minute appreciation of Hellbound, the Hellraiser mythos and the work of Clive Barker by horror authors George Daniel Lea and Kit Power. One of the most substantial new extras on the release, the pair touch on their history with the Hellraiser franchise, their experiences seeing the brand-new restoration on the big-screen and their love for Hellbound in particular. It’s an excellent watch that will interest any fan of Hellraiser or Clive Barker.

The Beauty of Suffering – brand new featurette exploring the Cenobites’ connection to goth, fetish cultures and BdsmLost in the Labyrinth – archival featurette featuring interviews with Barker, Randel, Keen, Atkins and others Hellbound: Hellraiser Ii expands on Barker’s original vision as screenwriter Peter Atkins takes Julia Cotton, her step daughter Kirsty (Ashley Laurence) and the sinister Dr. Channard (Kenneth Cranham) into the dominion of the Cenobites themselves. Hellraiser Iii: Hell on Earth sees Pinhead set loose on the sinful streets of New York City to create chaos with a fresh cadre of Cenobitic kin. Then, Hellraiser: Bloodline sinks its hooks into past, present and future with the story of Phillip LeMarchand, the 18th-century toymaker who made the lament configuration puzzle box, his descendent John Merchant - a 20th-century architect whose most recent building bears a striking resemblance to the lament configuration - and Dr. Paul Merchant, a 22nd-century engineer and designer of The Minos, a space station which is a great deal more than it seems. owners of previous discs will be more than pleased with the picture improvements of this new 4K release...
