same here!


>I do remember liking

>was more into Freddy than Jason.

i appreciate the psychology of freddy instead of the brutishness of jason, but those friday movies have their charm (so to speak). wes craven was also a way better director than sean s. cunningham.


>Never saw Hellraiser in all my years so may give it a shot.

of all of the iconic horror villains, pinhead probably looks the goofiest out of context, which i'm sure throws off a lot of people who might otherwise be interested. the first two films of this series especially have some mesmerizing and deeply unsettling imagery. i was shook when i watched them. the score by christopher young is really good. clive barker directed the first film (his best work as a director) and rejected a score submitted by the industrial electronic group coil as being too disturbing, which is a statement. as much as i like that music, it would have given a different tone, and young's more traditional score lends a majestic and romantic quality that fits perfectly. i should probably watch more in this series. i remember reading about how the director of doctor strange had done a hellraiser, and although i haven't seen it i made the connection in the visual language easily.
