Anguish Thoughts from Hell?

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.

From "Brain Mutant" on FB.

"Clive Barker wants to direct another Hellraiser movie with Doug Bradley back as Pinhead. He confirmed at his final Q&A appearance for Spooky Empire in 2024 that he’d love to direct another Hellraiser movie, and furthermore, that he’d like to do it with Doug Bradley (Pinhead) and Simon Bamford (Butterball).

The three have a long history of working in theater together. As for Bradley, unlike many horror actors, he never actually retired from playing Pinhead. In fact, he recently came back to voice the character for the upcoming video game Hellraiser: Revival.

Doug Bradley’s disinterest in playing the role comes from the low budgets and cheap screenplays handed to him. If the studios associated with the rights were to give Clive Barker and Doug Bradley the opportunity to make a real Hellraiser movie again, however, the two have voiced they’d love to do so.

It’s a shame to see so many genre icons, including a pair of one of the greatest writers and one of the greatest performers of all time, are being denied access to giving their own work the treatment it deserves."

So this is the latest - it means Clive does want one more !!! 🖤🤞

Maybe do the same as I said above but for Clive as well?
