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!)

Cheers, David! 🍻 (It’s still the 18th here in LA, but I’ll celebrate early 😉)

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!

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).

Older than Time itself. But he may have had a little work done at a very discreet Beverly Hills clinic.

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?

That’s very kind, Chris. (I actually think I just write quirky little ghost stories with sweary protagonists, but I’ll take the compliment!) ❤️🍻

Hi, David
We figured Kirsty’s story had come to a natural conclusion at the end of the second movie, so left her to a (hopefully more peaceful) future.

Yeah, it’s bollocks. I’m a 30-year expat in California, and none of my friends or in-laws would say anything other than prush-un or, at a pinch, prush’n.
