“Demon to some. Angel to others. He’ll tear your soul apart.”
Clive Barker’s “Hellraiser” is one of the stand out British horror films of the 1980s & certainly an eye-catching poster, that from first viewing you would be mistaken for thinking the poster here was for ‘Fright Night’ as Russian artist Ceneghcb borrows heavily from Peter Mueller’s ‘Fright Night’ artwork. This super scarce Russian one-sheet movie poster is a hard poster to track down (and the first time we have offered one for sale) with any paper from this cult movie becoming increasingly sought after. Presented rolled (as issued) in totally original unrestored condition from the first year of Russian release 1992. It displays & presents very well with minor handling wear, lovely deep colour tones a & stunning horror imagery. A modern horror classic that is a superb piece of original and highly collectable movie memorabilia from one of the seminal films, horror or otherwise of the 1980s.
Trivia: Clare Higgins hates horror movies. When she saw this movie for the first time at the premiere, she had to leave after 10 minutes because it freaked her out so much. She has never seen the whole movie.

“When Kirsty’s father, Larry, and stepmother, Julia, move into Larry’s childhood home, Kirsty and her boyfriend take a room nearby. Unfortunately for all involved, Larry’s house is already occupied: before the family’s arrival, Larry’s disreputable brother, Frank, used a supernatural puzzle box to summon a gang of other-dimensional demon sadists. Now, Frank requires a series of blood sacrifices to escape the clutches of Pinhead and the cenobites.”
“Hellraiser“ is truly is groundbreaking horror from the highly imaginative mind of one Clive Barker. “Hellraiser“ is one the best horror films ever made, let alone to come out of the eighties. It proves that slasher flicks don’t rule the horror screen. There are other, better movies in the genre. The Cenobites are outstanding. They completely steal the show. Pinhead (played by Doug Bradley, a name that would become synonymous with “Hellraiser“), Female, Chatterer, and Butterball are awesome in all their gory S&M glory. Someone once said that if you assembled all of the horror icons at a dinner table, Pinhead would be the only one using silverware. After watching this movie again, that seems to be a very true statement. Aside from the Cenobites, Frank (Sean Chapman) is an extraordinary sight to behold. Bob Keen‘s effects team has outdone themselves. The entire world that Barker has created astounds me. He’s really pushing the envelope here. The dark imagery and the concept of the Lament Configuration are incredible. Why aren’t more original movies made? Today they all seem to rip off the same concepts. “Hellraiser“ is a completely original eerie experience. It’s one of the few films I can think of that was unique and has stayed unique after all these years.
