This is a HeadGum Podcast. This is Emily, Henley, and Sammy, and you're listening to Too Scary, Didn't Watch. Hi everyone, welcome to Too Scary, Didn't Launch. Second bonus episode for the month of August in the year of 2022. Here we are. We have a very fun episode for you guys today. Some of you may know there is a new Hellraiser movie coming out this fall directed by our favorite David Bruckner, who we, I believe, sent $5 to or not us personally, but. Sure. Yeah, but we did. We decided that we're fans.

We decided that we're fans. He directed The Ritual and The Night House. And there's no specific release date yet, I don't think, for the for the new Hellraiser. But soon, soon spooky season, I presume at some point October would be my guess. But anyways, me thinking about that got me in the mood for some more Hellraiser. I really loved the first Hellraiser. I also loved today's movie, which is Hellraiser 2. Or excuse me, it's called Hellbound Hellraiser 2. Genius, genius.

How many, have there been a bunch of Hellraisers? Is this one where there are like 18 Hellraisers? There are 10, yes. I think I might try to watch all 10 before the next one comes out. At least the first four. It seems the first four are kind of the favorites

and then they do a nosedive after that into some not so great territory. But, you know, we'll see how far I get. I'm curious. I like this world. This world being hell. Love hell. Feels good down here. And for those of you listening, FYIyi this is going to be a video episode as i was watching it

i thought it simply must be seen some of these things must be seen i think never never a great sign for us i think i found a potential new halloween costume in here that i'm really excited about you guys will get to see that okay now now now I'm back on board. Let me tell you some stuff about it. It was directed by Tony Randell, written by Peter Atkins, based on a story by Clive Barker, again.

It is starring Doug Bradley, Ashley Lawrence, Claire Higgins, Kenneth Cranham, Imogen Borman, and that's it. No other ones I forgot to say. And before Imogen. When did it come out? 1988.

Okay. And it is available to watch on Shudder.com. Shudder.com. And so this is Pinhead behind you, yeah? This is Pinhead behind me now. Yeah, he's played by Doug Bradley in most of the Hellraiser. Well, I don't actually know how many. He gets some some other actor plays him eventually.

But yes, Pinhead was not supposed to be the central character of the Hellraiser franchise, but people just really loved him. And so they. How could they not? It's the only thing I associate with Hellraiser whatsoever. Because I remember being very surprised when he like't the main character of the first one. But I guess he becomes the main character because he had to. They used him for all the marketing stuff and for all the video VHS covers.

Things like that. Yeah. And listeners, you should know that before we started, Henley said that he looked pretty hot. I'm like into it and you wait okay so there's a picture behind sammy for those who can't see of pinhead at first of all i forgot his name was pinhead i thought that was hellraiser um and he's wearing like a sexy leather jacket with some shoulder detail. It's like very skeletal, this leather jacket. It's shocking with a high collar, a high Victorian collar that really accentuates his jawline in a

really beautiful way. And his face is just so deeply contoured. I mean, he's looking very, he's looking very strong right now, I have to say. Yeah, I won't surprise you to hear that I agree completely Emily's voting the other side she dissents look he's got good bone structure but his face is covered

in pins you gotta see past the pins I don't want to see past the pins it'd see past the pins. I don't want to see past the pins. It'd be tough to kiss, yeah. I don't know how you would. Hard to get close. Hard to get close. Yeah.

Hellbound Hellraiser 2 has a 50% on Rotten Tomatoes, 41 on Metacritic, and still staying true to that 6.4 on IMDb. Budget was $6 million. It made $12 million,db budget was 6 million it made 12 million which is you know it made money but it's still you know i feel like some of the movies that spawn so many sequels it's because they make so much money with the first ones and this isn't i feel like enough money for that but they kept going i guess they. For the love of the art. For the love of Pinhead. I didn't write down a ton of trivia, but I thought this was funny.

This movie, along with Titanic, hold the record for the most times two characters repeat each other's names. The two characters in this movie are named Tiffany and Christy. And I imagine Jack and Rose are the other ones. But who's tracking these stats? Who's keeping track? There's no way. That's so random. Who's keeping track of that?

I don't know. That's pretty wild. But it's written on IMDb. The user submitted trivia, so it must be true. I have to say, I think this is another sign. Titanic is coming up again. Titanic just keeps coming up. It's true. It might be say, I think this is another sign Titanic is coming up again. Titanic just keeps coming up. It's true.

It might be a sign, Emily. Might be time. Might be time for you to see it. And this film is included on Roger Ebert's most hated list. Another one. There we go. Yeah, he really, really hated it.

That's great. I want to see that full list. I'm curious. I had a great time. I thought. I don't know. I just really enjoy these movies. I think they're so silly. Are they trying to be or? I think they're trying to be like very gory and have imaginative gore in it. Okay. Which maybe at the time was really disturbing, but it's, you know, pretty dated. Some of it is really disturbing. There's one scene in particular that I was not happy with. Oh, no, no, no. I think the writing is intentionally trying to be silly. Yes.

There's towards the end. I'll call it out. There's one character that literally every single line out of his mouth made me laugh. It's so funny. Oh, God. But I had a good time. Highly recommend. Okay.

Okay. I guess we have to hear about it. I'm excited to tell you guys about it. Okay. Okay. I guess we have to hear about it. I'm excited to tell you guys about it. Okay. Alright. Let's go to hell. Let's go to hell. Let's go to hell. Time to play. Oh!
