Should be interesting since the Hellraiser series had 2 solid first movies while the third was decent and fourth was fun, the rest were garbage and became a parody of itself as it needs to go back to it's roots. Barker writing and producing sounds promising.

Since the success of Nightbreed Director's Cut and the comics, i think the NB TV show should be interesting to explore the characters and universe of the NB universe even of Midian.

That's so weird, I was just about to make a post about getting my directors' cut of Nightbreed in another thread!

I'm definitely down for a Nightbreed tv show, and if Clive's at the helm of a reboot of the original movie, it's in good hands.

I will say, I actually loved Hellraiser:Inferno though - it gets a lot of hate as part of the Hellraiser franchise, but as a horror flick I thought it was tight; it's one of the few movies that scares the hell out of me.

While there's really no topping the first two in my book (especially the 2nd), I really enjoyed "Inferno" and "Hellseeker" (and that one even brought back in Kirsty for one more round with Pinhead).

The rest, yeah... no good.

I saw Hellraiser 1 & 2 in theaters as a kid and dug them as i became a Clive fan since then and had some Hellraiser stuff as a kid. I even saw Nightrbeed 2 times in theaters when i was 8 and had (still own) the Epic Marvel comics adaptation and spin-off series including with Hellraiser and Rawhead Rex crossover stories.

Who else saw the NB Director's Cut? i got the 3-disc LE as i watched TC first then DC second and checked out the extras, awesome CE as it's the best horror blu-ray of the year and was my most anticipated since it was announced last year. The DC is excellent as it gives more character development and such stuff.

What happened with Hellraiser happened just like it did with Batman, James Bond and Star Trek as their franchises crashed and burned yet got saved by their reboots you know. Maybe it can make Hellraiser cool again.

And who agrees the Nightbreed TV show has potential?
