Back in February 2018, I ran a feature on the sadomasochistic world of Clive Barker's Hellraiser.

And now, the odyssey continues.
Ash vs. Evil Dead
|
In season 1's finale, Heather is literally nailed. |
Different circumstances yes, but sequence may have been borrowed from
Evil Dead.
|
Natalie quickly regretted applying her new piercings. |
Eligos vs Chatterer
(Frowns).
|
Baal was introduced in season 2 and steals victim's skins, a la Frank and Julia. |
Blood II: The Chosen
|
Taking place in 2028 (100 years after original), regular game incorporates sci-fi tech and the Frank Cotton Memorial Bridge. |
|
The Nightmare Levels has Caleb going over pastures old (and new). Any enemy foolish enough to be trapped by new weapon flayer will be torn apart by hooks and chains. |
Lament Configuration (aka The Box)
|
Diablo II: Lord of Destruction
Expansion pack drastically improved core gameplay of sequel.
Tomb's decoration seems vaguely familiar. |
|
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind The ruins of Arkngthand houses the Dwemer puzzle box. |
|
Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated - The Hodag of Horror (S2 E5) Sheriff Stone examines an 'artefact'. |
Combinations
Despite some clever visual gags,
Disenchantment never lit my fire.
Still, opening episode
A Princess, an Elf and a Demon Walk into a Bar is of particular relevance.
|
Princess Bean is given a curious looking box as a wedding gift. |
|
Out pops her personal demon Luci. |
The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy
|
The Show that Dare Not Speak Its Name A 'strange magical cube' tricks Billy into playing with him. |
Uh oh.
|
Fatal curiosity unleashes Pinface. |
Okay, name makes no sense, but hey ho.
The Cabin in the Woods
|
Curt (The Athlete) fumbles with spherical object. |
|
Marty (The Fool) and Dana (The Virgin) come face to face with leather-clad being Fornicus, called the Lord of Bondage and Pain in credits. |
Stance was probably based on
famous poster.
Getting back to Fornication.
|
Circular saws jammed inside head smacks of The Missionary (monster form of Claudia Wolf) in Silent Hill: Revelation. |
Which ripped off:
|
CD (Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth) |
Pinhead
Okay dude, the stage is yours.
|
Gravity Falls: Lost Legends Shmebulock presents each tale in the first official comic with new content since series ended. Face It, 'somebody' looks like... |
|
Meet the Quagmires (Family Guy) |
|
Nailface (Slayaway Camp) |
|
Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee Bad ending shows Fuzzle took acupuncture way too far. |
|
Terrordrome: Rise of the Boogeymen Our man squares off against Herbert West (Re-Animator). |
South Park
|
Imaginationland Episode II |
In terms of pop culture, Ready Player One eat your heart out.
|
Imaginationland Episode III During epic battle, Jesus Christ decapitates horror icon with a minimum of fuss. |
Amusing.
The Simpsons
|
The Shinning (Treehouse of Horror V) |
|
Stop! Or My Dog Will Shoot! |
|
The Falcon and the D'ohman |
Join me next time for the final part.
