For all the horror buffs out there.

Rumors are Hulu is looking at Clive Barker's Imagica as well.

    Because I want my suffering to be legendary, even in hell, I'm currently in the middle of watching through all of the crazy, stupid sequels to Hellraiser (well, i'd seen 2 before, because it's actually good) and they immediately start going off the rails into stupid (but often times fun) town starting with 3. Here's some fun highlights so far:

    • Pinhead stigmata-ing himself, striking the crucifixion pose, and saying "I am the way" so hard that it makes a church explode
    • Dax from DS9 fights Pinhead in the third one, as well as DJ, Video camera, and Bartender Cenobites
    • Vietnam flashbacks in 3 as well
    • 4 (Bloodlines) begins 100+ years in the future on a space station built as a giant trap to capture/kill Pinhead
    • Young Adam Scott as a sadistic French Aristocrat
    • The 5th film is directed by Scott Derrikson, who went on to make Sinister and Dr. Strange as well as the recent film The Black Phone. This one is basically Hellraiser meets Seven Not great, but you can see he has some directing talent.
    • The star of the 6th one is the guy who plays Dennis Duffy on 30Rock/Mayhem in the All-State commercials

    The next two I have to watch were both made in 2005, one of them being the "gamer" Hellraiser about a bunch of MMORPG players getting Hellraisered due to a videogame called " Hellworld "
