Hellraiser, Part 1
In this episode, Jess & Nicole take you on a journey through Clive Barker's dark world where the boundary between pain and pleasure evaporates. From the original novella Hellbound Heart to the iconic films Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II, the duo dive deep into the artistry of 80s horror, the actual horror of the satanic panic, and "ravage fantasies". They also explore themes like regression therapy, toxic positivity, and ponder why certain genital piercings are named after royals. Plus, delve into the work of Bob Keen, the visual effects and makeup genius behind the terrifying cenobites, and listen as Jess & Nicole portray actor maggots.
Grab some booze, bring your bud, and let’s get into the gory details!
