We will be back in two weeks with a brand new episode, but until then, enjoy this ThrowBack episode where John and Frank are joined by their friend Chris Thames to talk about the Hellraiser series. This episode was originally released on October 5th of 2015, so it's missing a couple of films. But it's a good time, and a teaser for the next episode too!
