Hellraiser is one of the most cherished yet simultaneously turbulent franchises in all of horror history. Despite amassing legions of fans, most would argue there hasn’t been a decent cinematic installment since Bloodline was released in 1996. Still, genre aficionados can’t get enough of Pinhead, Leviathan, and the beautiful grotesquery created by Clive Barker.

Mr. H explores the possibility in his latest video essay, embedded at the top of the article. One of the most shocking postulations he makes is that Barker actually resents Hellraiser fandom, and he points to the literary follow-up to The Hellbound Heart, The Scarlet Gospels, published in 2015, as proof.
