Season 7 Episode 20 - Hellraiser
🎙️ The Insanely Dangerous Retro Podshow – Season 7, Episode 20: Hellraiser (1987)

This week, Dangerous Dave opens the puzzle box and dives into the twisted, blood-drenched world of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser — where pleasure and pain are one, and nightmares come with pins.

Released in 1987, Hellraiser isn’t just another horror flick — it’s a dark, elegant, and disturbingly imaginative exploration of desire, obsession, and the horrific price of curiosity. With its unforgettable villain Pinhead, haunting score, and a story that redefined body horror, this film dragged audiences into a world where the boundaries of fear were literally torn apart.

In this episode, Dangerous Dave covers:
🕰️ What Happened Way Back When (1987) – 5 fun facts about the biggest songs, movies, and TV shows that defined the year horror went deluxe.
🩸 The Dangerous Deep Dive – the story behind Hellraiser: from Clive Barker’s novella The Hellbound Heart to the film’s creation, its cast, characters, and that unforgettable British-gothic atmosphere.
📖 Full Plot Summary – a detailed breakdown of the film’s terrifying story of love, lust, and resurrection gone wrong.
🧠 Fans & Critics – how it shocked, disturbed, and fascinated audiences, earning its place as one of the most original horror films of the 80s.
🩹 Legacy of the Cenobites – how Hellraiser spawned sequels, comics, reboots, and an entire mythology of elegant torment.
⚔️ Retro Rumble – Hellraiser vs. A Nightmare on Elm Street: who truly mastered the art of fear with flair?
📺 Back in the Ads – a glimpse at the gloriously cheesy TV spots and VHS promos that ran alongside Barker’s nightmare.
💎 Dangerously Underrated – Clare Higgins as Julia — horror’s most overlooked villainess, equal parts sensual and sinister.
📼 One Season Wonder – a short-lived 80s horror anthology series that deserved a resurrection (with 5 devilish facts).
⚖️ Better Than / Worse Than – better than Candyman, worse than The Thing — but forever unforgettable.

It’s gruesome, gothic, and grotesquely beautiful — a cinematic descent into obsession that’s equal parts art and agony.

Next week, the blood trail leads straight to the woods — as we trade hooks for machetes in Friday the 13th Part 2 (1981), where Jason Voorhees takes his first steps into horror immortality! 🔪

So don’t touch any strange puzzle boxes, keep your soul intact, and remember… we have such sights to show you.
