Slightly odd one for Barker's Bad Guys today in that this one isn't the creation of Barker himself, rather screenwriter Pete Atkins and director Tony Randall: Hellraiser's geometric "god" of pain, pleasure and absolute dominion: Leviathan. youtu.be/kIdPeiAzhpU?...

Of course, of course I had to let's play the latest Silent Hill. Thus far, Townfall reminds me sharply of certain indie horror games that make maximum virtue of atmosphere and environment to tell their story. youtu.be/A7RW-oocNYA?...

See Bryan Fuller's Hannibal. Probably my favourite TV series of all time. Any further instalments can only dilute its Romantic magnificence.

Yeah, bonding with the Celestial technology might've made him nigh-omnipotent, but it did nothing for him aesthetically. Maybe that's why he's so nihilistic: He's bitter about not being hot any more.
