We have such sights to show you! Fresh off the torture rack- and burning up with sex appeal that only a hairless demon scorpion monster can bring- it's time to dig your pins into a VHS classic.
Kelly joins Julia at the bar to pick up her latest kills, I mean reads. Finally a horror novella that cuts to the point- though maybe the name doesn't quite pull it off. Don't be fooled by the appearance-something dark & familiar lurks beneath. Clive Barker channels boredom into just the right amount of blood that it's almost torture to put it down. Short but sweet, the Hellbound Heart made Jesus weep.
Jimmy isn't really falling for Pinheads plea to "Come to daddy!" Can't blame him after years of avoiding Blockbuster's version of Lamarchand's box. The scares might have just been contained to the box set cover art- but if you are down to get grossed out on 80s gore then the Cenobites are ready to please. It might be iconic but did Clive Barker get his own book a little... skewed?
Your pleasure might not be the same as ours- but we know you'll enjoy the pain of deciding if book or movie can master your senses. Grab a chain and get ready to pull apart Hellraiser with a very leather clad Halloween episode.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
