“What could be better than a delightful evening sitting trailerside on a balmy Texas evening with Joe Bob Briggs and my friend and colleague Ashley Laurence to shoot the breeze and talk of this and that….and maybe a little touch of Hellraiser too?”, said Doug Bradley. “Join us on Friday to eavesdrop on our chat. See you there!”

This is great timing, as Hellraiser has been a hot topic this week. It was revealed that Clive Barker has filed a lawsuit to get the copyright rights back in his hands, from defendants Lawrence L. Kuppin and Park Avenue Entertainment, LLC. If Barker wins what he is asking for, a transfer of rights would be effective as of December 19, 2021. You can read more about that ongoing court case here.
