HELLRAISER

Clive Barker, once the supreme master of horror, wrote, many moons ago, "Hellraiser", the book. This is a damn strange story about a man who wants to experience all the pleasure and all the pain... so he buys a special box, kind of a Rubik puzzle, that if solved will reveal to him out-of-this-world experiences... And these are really, REALLY weird experiences!

The Hellraiser movie, also directed by Clive Barker, came after the book and it only achieved a moderate success amongst horror fans. It is a **very hard** to find movie... just try asking for it @ your local video store... you may find it, but that will be in an distorted 4:3 aspect ratio version, with no commercial value.

Well this is the truth... or should I write WAS?! The thing is that there NOW is a widescreen DVD of Hellraiser!!! Go get it!

In the picture, our hero is in for a snack :-) Can't tell you more.

Livros de Clive Barker em português

Que eu saiba, há apenas uma tradução de Clive Barker em português europeu. Trata-se do excelentíssimo "The Damnation Game", que a Europa América vende na colecção Pêndulo, sob o título «O Jogo da Maldição». Leitura rápida. São dois volumes, mas devoram-se em poucas horas.
