Hell You Can Take With You . . . .

Greetings Cenobytes, after another long break I am back again with some more news for you all. One of the main advantages of Youtube is video sharing, and as a result of this, today I bring you several news items. Firstly I would like to announce the arrival of a new online store, HellraiserPuzzlebox.com. At this new store you can not only purchase a movable version of the famous box, but also many other items including a Rubik's cube version of the box, masks, key rings, mouse pads, tshirts, caps and much more.

The store also has a downloads area as well, which contains some fine desktops, a screensaver and a couple of cool icons / avatars. The Puzzle Box Shop will be at ScreamFest 2007, between October 19 to 21 in Orlando, Florida for US fans. Doug Bradley (Pinhead) will also be there in the FLESH. Before I go any further I would like to personally thank "kevfla", for sending me the video below. Without the video being sent to me, I would not have learned any of this at all. As over the last couple of months, I been been a bit slack with this site.

The video is of the Puzzle Box, in action. It unfortunately only has 2 parts, but it will open doorways to your ultimate pleasure. Enjoy.

Two months without Hell . . . . . .

Hello Cenobytes,

Its been two whole months since I last posted on this site. A lot of you may have been thinking, he started this and then couldn't be bothered. Well if that was your opinion, you would have been wrong. As you all my have noticed, ALL of my sites have been through a series of changes and tweaks, the site clocks being perhaps the most obvious. In addition to this banner links have started to appear. Although I have studied web page design and can use Deamweaver, well to about an intermediate level. Blogger sites have perplexed me, although a lot more simple in design they have a lot of quirks and issues.

Some things that are easy to do as a normal web page, are extremely involved or more complicated when trying to apply them to a Blogger site. Don't get me wrong, I love blogging and I love Blogger sites, I would just like a few things fixed with them. Any way I'm rambling. Today I have decided to write about a Hellraiser fan film, yes a fan film. Why you are saying? Because this one is of quite a high standard and looks like it actually has a budget because it did! Its called Hellraiser: Prophecy, you may have heard of it. One thing this fan film has achieved which the majority of others don't, is its own IMDB page.

The movie is not very long in duration (22 minutes), but makes up for this with some quite high production standards and effects. The movie is available to download from its official site, via the bit-torrent network and is also posted on youtube in 2 parts. Below is the teaser trailer for the movie, I hope you like it. The movie itself is an actual crossover between the "Hellraiser" movie series and the "Prophecy" trilogy of films. Now that I have written trilogy, more than likely a fourth film will appear. It just seems to happen like that. Any way here is the teaser, enjoy. Oh yeah, if you are a minor you may wish to get your folks approval to watch it. Its quite graphic, with its blood and gore.


Hellraiser: Prophecy - Teaser Trailer


If you like this movie, it can be ordered on DVD at the extremely cheap price of $10 (US). Or if you are a little more eager to see it, you can download the DVD image, complete with cover artwork and special features from its official site Hellraiser Prophecy.com. 'Til next time Cenobytes, peace and may this not be the last post on this site (it won't be).

First Post Ramble

Greetings Cenobytes! Whats your pleasure? That is the question asked in the original Clive Barker movie, Hellraiser. Well as you guessed it, this blog is about the Hellraiser series of movies, which so far has spawned 7 sequels. This is quite impressive, for a B horror movie. This blog will not only focus on the original 8 movies, but also the planned 2008 remake of the original.

The remake will be produced by Clive himself, but directed by Jim Sonzero who was responsible for Pulse (2006) and also War Of The Angels (1999). According to IMDB, there are currently talks in place to have Doug Bradley (Pinhead) reprise his role in the remake. It is also rumoured that Ashley Laurence will make an appearance, though at this stage, it is unknown whether or not she will play Kirsty Cotton as she has done in the series so far.

The Hellraiser Series, if you are only new to it tells the story of a puzzle box. No its not a Rubiks Cube, though that may have been where the inspiration came from. The Cube itself acts like a key to an alternate reality, which bears a familiar likeness to Hell. The world or parallel universe is known as Leviathan, and its inhabitants are referred to as Cenobytes.

Once the puzzlebox is solved, the world of Leviathan opens up. Leviathan is like a sadist or masochist's' heaven where pain and suffering are the norm, or your pleasure as the Cenobytes refer to it as. There are many different Cenobytes, they include Chatterer, Butterball, Barbie, CD Head, Stitch, the Twins and of course their leader Pinhead. New Cenobytes seem to get added with every movie, so this is not a complete list. Anyway this is just my introduction, the blog will include movie synopses, character profiles, merchandise news and of course news on the announced Remake.

'Til next time Cenobytes. Whats your pleasure?
