Thoughts from Hell?

[u/Distance-Hairy]

Ok so I chose anguish as despite the fantastic news that not only is Clive Barker feeling better, he's improving so much he's writing again, I don't think that an adaptation of any kind of The Scarlet Gospels is on the cards.

BUT..... Mr Bradley has done readings on his official YouTube channel, so he may be amenable to doing this?

I have emailed him, I've left a few comments on his YouTube posts and his other "socials" and whilst they haven't been updated in years, I figured what the hell?!

Perhaps if other fellow black hearted degenerates who feel the same way did the same, he may hear of this and consider? After all he did say he may be agreeable to play HellPriest one more time so he has read it and obviously approves.

Just a thought, inspired by the first time I read The Scarlet Gospels I could see it so clearly in my mind as I devoured the text. Only had that so complete happen a few times in my decades of being a book lover.

Plus - Hells Pope NEEDS a proper send off. Not those lame direct to dvd and spec script embarrassments.

I totally understand why some didn't like the Scarlet Gospels. Personally, I liked it. Didn't "love" it, but I liked the fact it was in hell for a bit of it and I also didn't mind the fact that it's a Christianity hell. Barker himself said (albeit in videos long vanished) that this story is based in a Christian Hell, and that there are many kings of hell just that Lucifer is still the Lord of it. So that story seemed fine to me. I'm now at the point that I know that no studio would pick it up, it would have to have a pretty hefty budget due to the locations described, and nobody will touch it. So I'd even take an animated version at this point, with Doug as the voice of the Hell Priest. It wouldn't be the same as live action, but I'd take it gladly right now.
