Hellraiser 1 live blogging
Summary: That was fucking fun. Amazing special effects, fun plot, characters I liked, and just all around absolutely deserving of its place as a horror classic.
that seems like a sweaty way to solve a box
Oh this is a fun place, look, a face!
So this guy has a brother he hasn't seen in ages.
Julia doesn't like the house. Rocky marriage, too. This weird house isn't gonna help lol. Ew, buggies. I do appreciate older movies using real bugs. Larry! Come look! A terrifying... mattress?
Frank is the brother I guess.
Then who is phone?
Kirstie has found a room, a room better than a creepy house.
Oh no, scary sex party photos. He was kinda handsome tho. Are you stealing that photo, Julia? Naughty.
Hey mover dude, stop leering.
Hello again Kirstie. Hello, ominous bridge. Hello, ominous bushes and trees. Hello ominous farmhouse.
"This is a big house" I've seen like 3 rooms so far.
"Her mother's dead". Lol. I'd heard that line before.
Julia, you got the hots for the broooo. I would also be kinda seduced by brother frank out in the rain.
Julia isn't concerned with you, Kirstie, she has an old photo to make out with. And to stand ominously at the top of the stairs with.
Now for ze attic. And erotic memories. Nice. I think? She seems into it, sort of? Kinda hard to tell, but modern-day her is totally into the - oh ok, yeah, she was totally into it.
Oh that nail is gonna be involved and I can't watch lol. *looks away*
Did she orgasm from that memory?
Ew that's a lot of blood. Bro why didn't you get a towel?
House: "slurp"
Ahh, the tell tale heart.
See, these effects are great. I really do believe this floor is bubbling with demonic energy and resurrecting a disgusting man. Fuck this sequence is awesome. Yeah I can watch this, but not a guy getting stabbed by a nail. Don't ask, I can't explain it either. That fucking rocked.
And dinner party, complete with laughter that sounds like it's coming from a studio audience. Also, you WILL get drunk, no leaving allowed! Except Julia, she's allowed.
Mmm whispers. Welcome back to the attic.
Kinda hard not to look at you bro. This makeup is awesome, and I love his dialogue? It's so casual, but also coming from a horrible flesh zombie, it's great. "Help me, will ya?" He needs more blood.
Ominous lurking, Julia. Love the lighting.
Kirstie, awkwardly: "Gnight." lol
Hello creepy fisherman dude. No idea if he's a fisherman but he looks like one. Ah, smack talking Julia. She IS fucking weird.
Of course he sleep talks. And Julia plots, and thinks about sex.
Frank's makeup is so fucking good. Thank you, 80's movie, for lighting your characters.
Oooh this is a cool effect. What's going on here? Oh, it's Kirstie dreaming. You know I give her credit for immediately calling. Too bad he's gonna die immediately after the phone call. Right? (no)
Hey Frank, you're not allowed to think about Kirstie, you already have a lady. Am I judging a dead zombie man? Yes.
Oh, so is Julia gonna grab a random stranger dude? And not kill her husband? Sorry, random dude. Come on Julia, think up an excuse like, "let's not fuck right in front of the door, idiot". I mean, he's sleazy, but probably doesn't deserve murder. He is dumb though. Julia isn't very good at this fake seductress thing, but it IS her first time. I think I would've stabbed him by now though. LOL whitie tighties. So unsexy. Woooo murdered. In his undies, how undignified.
I do love Julia's earrings, those kick ass. Tortoiseshell stars, fuck yeah. Very 80's.
You did a bad job cleaning yourself up Julia.
Mmm crunchy yum yums.
Ew he's even squishier. So slimy. Ew, no Frank, I don't wanna touch you either.
"Come to daddy" is going to make me laugh forever now.
I wonder how much porn there is of half-alive Frank.
Julia needs to dispose of a body, just give her a sec! Larry, you're kinda dumb.
Julia, you didn't really think you'd get away with murdering just one guy did you? I imagine salty skin on bare... muscle? would be very painful.
Oof, customer service. Yeah, you know, a complaining Karen and Dude Eating the Crickets sounds about right for customer service.
Welcome home, victim #2. "I like to be careful" - murdered. lol. Julia is a lot more chill about it this time, also she's becoming sexier! You know I will say she was very quickly on board with this whole murder thing. Hm Frank, you're still looking a little slimy, do you think you should be wearing clothes yet?
Ok so the cenobites introduced you to BDSM.
Julia is bored by boxing. "I've seen worse" LMAO. Also Larry, shouldn't this stuff make YOU sick? You're the guy who hates blood. Oh Larry, don't be a hero. "Guess I gotta seduce my own husband to keep him from going to the attic". Does she care a little for Larry? I think she probably doesn't want him to die, at the very least.
lmao how did Larry not see those rats?
Whoah Frank just slippin by there. Ooo he's gonna do a murder. Can Larry not hear her say no?? I'm so confused. Oh no, he was just ignoring her. Turd.
Marriage talk with your kiddo. It sure is "way beyond" you buddy.
Ah, marriage talk with the zombie.
Oh no, Kirstie is gonna get the wrong idea. Sorry kiddo, your step mom isn't cheating on your dad! Well ok, yes, she is - but not with that particular dude. Actually, the worse crime here is she's a big ol murderer. Oh wait is Kirstie actually witnessing the murder a little? I can't tell. She seems very concerned though.
I appreciate Larry wants to keep Julia from seeing the worst of the murdering. I also appreciate the crunchy noises.
I love that the whole house just constantly creaks for no reason. Nooo don't go in the attic. Eeeew icky touchy uncle Frank.
I don't know if she's necessarily smart for stealing the box, but she was smart to use it to get away.
Why is the nurse watching the "flowers opening" channel? This doctor is being so fucking weird lol. "Yeah you were found wandering, passing out, covered in blood but uh, we're gonna treat you like a criminal."
ooh, the box likes to pretend it's pretty, pink sparkles! Seems like the box can pretty much solve itself, don't know why Frank was all sweaty about it.
Hm, maybe don't go in there, this isn't a children's 80's movie. That is not a hallway to a fun adventure.
Hi two-headed fishface cenobite.
Oh fucking cool, the tiles glowing like that!
OH that's the chatterer, right? I know folks have named them all.
And it's our guy, "Lead Cenobite" - I mean Pinhead!
I love them all. They're so great. <3
Oh, is Julia gonna show Frank to Larry? Are we to guess he was murdered off screen? Does Frank have skin now? Oh nope, he's just ... wait. No. That's Frank wearing Larry, isn't it?
Why do you need to see a body so badly, Kirstie? I mean, he's gonna be skinless either way. Guess it'd be hard to tell lol. Of course, Kirstie is upset because this means the cenobites are gonna eat her.
All kinds of chaos happening now. At least Kirstie figured it out. Aww you broke Frank's new skin.
"Well, so much for the cat and mouse shit" - that got a real laugh out of me. *snort*
Oops Frank, you killed Julia a bit. Don't seem to broken up about it, but he's more into Kirstie.
There's still cenobites in the attic. I like to imagine they're just up there, twidding their thumbs like "... Is she coming back?"
I always think it's fun when you have a character wearing the face of another character because it means the other actor is playing the part now, and some folks do a REALLY good job at this.
Hey now cenobites, that's not playing fair. She's sort of trying to help you, remember? Maybe that was just a reminder "bring him to us and we'll take care of him for you". I think she's trying to draw him in? To where the cenobites are.
My friends are back!
"This isn't for your eyes" Kirstie slowly slips away like "yeah ok good I'll fuck off now for sure bye". She keeps watching though. Not sure why, I guess so we the audience can see?
Ooh, the house is bleeding, nice. Oh, Julia grabbed the box or the box grabbed her, not sure which.
Aw, Pinhead just wants to show you things.
Ah, so you CAN unsolve the box and it blasts them all back to hell. Also the house is collapsing because sure. Steve is like "no questions, just run".
Ok, the ending fight with the fishface was a little silly. "Oh, can't get a grip on the box, would you just - I can't get it! Gotta grab the box!"
That burned down fast.
Kristie, it's a metal box. Why do you think it's gonna burn? Oh hey it's bug eating dude. I feel like he was one of them the whole time. Oh yeah he was. A skeletal dragon???
And now it's back home apparently.
The end!

11ish y/o me, fuming in my room after once again emptying out the piggybank holding my birthday/holiday cards money, because mom needed money for gas, only to never get the money back: "When I'm grown up, I'll be able to save all of my money and use it the way I want, and I won't need to feel bad for saying no!"
Me now, at 23, emptying the fund for GoToWife for the 6th time in 2 years, because mom needs to borrow the money for a really important thing:
She always gives back the money in full nowadays (eventually), and she has helped me many many many times, but in a way it just feels like "saving money" never changed. The only difference is that now instead of 60€ I might crawl to 600€ before she turns to me for help.
It's just... Frustrating.
And the fun thing is, refusing to lend money when it comes to family is very much a way to get told to fuck off in case you ever need help yourself.
Doesn't matter how often it is. Doesn't matter if you have plans. And it doesn't matter if people have told you "better save up fast or [Name] will start taking the rent payments in full".
Gee, thank you ma, as if taking a 50 out of there because I need to eat isn't stressful enough. As if me trying to save up and coming oh so fucking close to actually getting somewhere, to be able to apply for a visa and get the stuff I need before I can even buy a plane ticket, and then life saying "Guess what? No travel for you!''... As if that isn't already a kick to the heart. I wanted it so badly. I still want to visit her so badly and instead all I get is once again having to empty that fucking piggybank, and count how close I was to atleast getting a ticket. I can't yeet over there with 0 money either, but by fuck... By fuck.
I am just so fucking sad.
I need to go to sleep so I can sob about this to my psych tomm because yea... Tommorow is ALSO the last appointment before a one month hiatus due to her absolutely well earned and deserved vacation time... And there will be A LOT happening during this one month.
I ordered some skincare products yesterday, so here's hoping I end up at most biting my nails and not scratching my fucking face open. I did it two days ago and I would rather not deal with infections and similar type of bullshiet.
I am just. So fucking sad and the fact that even little purchases or treats I buy for myself make me feel guilty because "this could be saved for my trip" can still be justified because inevitably THIS KIND OF SHIT IS GUARANTEED TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN...
I am just gonna cry for a while now, wake up, wash my face and then find a way exist for a month and keep believing I will get there.
... at this point I'm starting to understand why I get anxious any time I get money on my accounts because ofc my brain goes into "SHIT, I NEED TO SPEND THIS STUFF NOW OR IT WILL BE TAKEN BY FAMILY FOR X REASON."
... fun.
Anyways, gnight to me, to this vent and to any poor fucker who clicked read more. I give you a cookie and I'll munch on a lemon biscuit in my dreams.
