For #FlashbackFriday, the 1992 launch for #thehellraiserchronicles. Just reissued by @titanbooks.bsky.social, it highlights the work of our unit photographers. (I'm listed as a writer, but it's a courtesy credit - the portraits from HR2 & 3 are preceded by quotes from my screenplays)

The 2004 edition was itself a reprint, Alan. The book originally came out in 1992.
Also, please be aware it’s primarily a book of pictures taken by Murray, Tom, and Keith (the unit photographers of each of the first three movies) rather than a ‘making of’ book. Don’t want you to be disappointed!)

Honored to have been asked by Stoker-winner (and old mate) @pedroiniguez.bsky.social to be his wingman for the launch of his book THE FIB (published by @gloobooks.bsky.social) at @vromansbookstore.bsky.social next month. Join us!

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!

"The Doctor is in!" Check out this superb #DoctorChannard mini-bust by #GarySmart - and then head over to @hellbound_busts on Insta and nab one for yourself.

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).

The sale on ALL OUR HEARTS ARE GHOSTS is not only being extended through August but - because those sweethearts at @encyclopub.bsky.social didn't want to miss out on the fun - now includes the Kindle edition. Party's over come September, so come exploit us while you can! (link in comments)

The #Hellraiser family congratulates our old pal #Leviathan on getting a new gig in the upcoming season of @startrek.bsky.social's #StrangeNewWorlds! Isn't that great?

(lower reference pics are his OG appearances in #Hellbound and the HR comic book)

Had the usual excellent time with Ryan & Jose of the @barkercast.bsky.social, this time chatting about WISHMASTER. With the usual sidebars & danglers, of course.

Happy Solstice! I've checked with the Pagan Festivities Committee and have been assured that reading this collection is a viable alternative to burning coppers alive in giant wicker statues or seeking sexual congress with a goat. And right now it's a mere $9.99. (link in comments)

The headshrinkers at @horrormakesushappy.com put me on the couch to discuss #FamousMonstersOfFilmland magazine, the #PanBookOfHorrorStories, a very particular episode of #DickVanDyke, and various other malign influences...

Had a great time at #ShockAGoGo 's HELLBOUND screening. Many thanks to Miles Flanagan for a fun Q&A, to Eric & his festival team, and to those next generation Monster Kids who came out to see a movie made before most of them were born ❤️👻

Had a fantastic discussion about Cocteau's ORPHEE with @franckboulegue.bsky.social & Marisa for their #afterimages podcast. (Link in comments, and please check out their entire channel)

The late great Phantom of the Movies called HELLBOUND "The best over the top terrorfest of 1988", and who are you to argue with him? It's back on the big screen next weekend courtesy of #ShockAGoGo. Come say hi to me & Tony Randel.

Hey, @dougbradley.bsky.social, I think this Ron Thal guy's flirting with us...

Man, that guy gets about a lot. He was handing advice out in Bellingham, Washington just a few months back.
