Me mum would've turned 95 today. Here she is with her old mate #Pinhead on the BLOODLINE set, and with her older sister, her little bastard, and (in spirit) her daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter. #horrorcommunity #horrormovies #hellraiser

If you've never seen HELLBOUND on the big screen, your next chance is this Friday at #TheCulverTheater courtesy of #HellraisersFilmClub, who are celebrating their 2nd anniversary. Drinks afterwards, I'm reliably informed. #horrorcommunity #horrormovies #80sHorror #Hellraiser

EVERYONE: Major, stop! Put that down! Bad dog! No! Drop it! MAJOR: Why’n’t you come get it, you want it so much? Later, at the scene of the massacre… SGT. UNIFORM: The dog’s covered in blood, sir. Do you think it’s… D.I. SMUGGINTON: Don’t be ridiculous, Sergeant. The murder weapon was a knife.

Just letting the #hellraiser fam know that Danny Stewart's WAR IS HELL has been updated and is now back on Amazon. It features about a thousand interviews with practically everyone who worked on the movie. Lotsa backstage photos too. #horrorcommunity #horrormovies #pinhead #80shorror #90shorror

The IMDB page having been updated, I'm finally allowed to say that I'm 1 of the 3-person writing team on #GoodOmens3. We wrote a full 6-episode season & then distilled it down to the 90-min. finale, which is full of fabulous actors in the directorial hands of the equally fabulous @racheltalalay.com

New 4K of NIGHTBREED next month from Arrow UK (link in comments). I'm tickled by their use of the word 'collaborator' for me, like I'm one of those French whores who got their heads shaved for shagging Nazis during the occupation. #horrorcommunity #horrormovies #80shorror #bluray

Woke to a pleasant surprise this morning: The great #KennethCranham re-creating some lines from HELLBOUND, thanx to @hellraiserdiscord.bsky.social. Delighted to see that Ken elevates my nonsense just as convincingly today as he did 38 years ago! (link in replies) #horror #horrormovies #hellraiser

The wonderful #ReggieBannister of #Phantasm fame was one of our all-star cast for #Wishmaster, where he and the late great #BuckFlower brought this scene to memorable life. Reggie could use a hand right now. If you feel you can help, please do. (link in comments) #HorrorCommunity #HorrorMovies

For #FlashbackFriday, that time Ash, Clive, and I went out pitching ourselves for a remake of ROAD TO UTOPIA. No bites. But how's this? ONLY MURDERS IN THE LABYRINTH: Two aging and farcically self-important scholcketeers team up with an ageless hottie to solve Homicides in Hell. Show me the money!

My fellow author @tjtranchell.bsky.social has been kind enough to write about me for #manorvellum's site on #Medium, which both looks back at my contributions to the #hellraiser mythos and gives a very-much-appreciated thumbs-up to my more recent fiction. Many thanks, mate! 🍻 (link in comments)

For #FlashbackFriday, a photo I'd not seen before. From a 2001 @fangoria.bsky.social #weekendofhorrors panel hyping the BOOGEYMEN dvd, it's Clive and I bookending an unholy trinity of Leatherface, Candyman, & Freddie (aka #gunnarhansen, #TonyTodd, & #RobertEnglund). #HorrorMovies #horrorcommunity

Big trend right now to help sell books to Zoomers is collectible “sprayed edges”. Nothing against them, but I liked them better when they served their original function: to disguise discoloration on 60s paperbacks in order to keep ‘em on newsstands longer.

The latest YouTube video from #MarvelousVideos is a mini-doc about my dear old alter-ego, Barbie. If you're gonna watch one bio-pic this year, you should ... well, yeah, you should watch A Complete Unknown, but once you're done you can come back and watch this 😉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=aT2r...

Sorry to be hyping the same event two posts in a row, but Adam Simon & Brinke Stevens joining our VT FROM HELL party at @darkdel.bsky.social merits a new flyer. (Also, it's likely the books'll be pre-signed by Joe Dante, so get those pre-orders in!) #horrormovies #80shorror #90shorror #cultmovies

Another sad loss for our #hellraiser family - Angus MacInnes died on Dec 23. Known to millions as 'Gold Leader' from #starwars, he was also our Detective Ronson from HELLBOUND. Sincere condolences to his family, loved ones, friends, and fans. 1947-2024. RIP. #horrorcommunity #horrormovies #80shorror
