“We have such sights to show you…” 🩸

From the mind of gory psycho-sexual horror god Clive Barker, HELLRAISER is an unadulterated q***r horror celebration of transgressive desire, forbidden pleasure, and sadomasochistic self-actualisation.

Deeply inspired by Barker’s own experiences in the gay leather scene and B**M clubs, this ground-breaking classic horror challenges traditional sexual norms via a portal to the hellish dimension where extreme pain is the ultimate ecstasy 🖤⛓️
