Behind the Monsters on Shudder was amazing. the first six episodes were six of the biggest horror movie monsters of all time and ended with a splash with Pinhead from Hellraiser. I am becoming a Clive Barker fan very rapidly. I love the original and the rebooted Hellraiser. I have seen Hellraiser 2 but I’m behind on the sequels. It was a great episode. The whole series was worth it. #horrorMovies #horrorDocs #horrorSeries #horrorFilms #hellraiser #cliveBarker #queerHorror
