One of the highlights of Panos Cosmatos’s Mandy were the Cenobite-esque gang of bikers who consume mass quantities of highly addictive hallucinogens. It seems clear that the filmmaker was taking inspiration from the S&M clad demons created by Clive Barker. It turns out that, before Mandy, Cosmatos actually wrote a screenplay treatment for a Hellraiser reboot, one that sticks close to the original source material: Barker’s novella The Hellbound Heart.

The video above is part of Mr. H’s exploration of Hellraiser movies that never came to fruition. He narrates the entire treatment, and his smooth baritone is perfect for conveying the spooky vibe of the material.

If you missed Mandy in 2018, check out the trailer and synopsis below.

Synopsis:
In the Pacific Northwest in 1983, outsiders Red Miller and Mandy Bloom lead a loving and peaceful existence. When their pine-scented haven is savagely destroyed by a cult led by the sadistic Jeremiah Sand, Red is catapulted into a phantasmagoric journey filled with bloody vengeance and laced with deadly fire.

Mandy stars Nicolas Cage, Andrea Riseborough, and Linus Roache. You can purchase the film on Blu-ray/DVD or stream it exclusively on Shudder.

Development Hell: The Unmade Horror Movie Podcast
Cary Fukanaga's IT (with Emily Gagne)
The Development Hell podcast revisits their episode on Cary Fukunaga’s (TRUE DETECTIVE) unmade adaptation of Stephen King’s IT! With guest Emily Gagne, this episode uncovered a very different (and darker) vision of Stephen King’s seminal work of terror. Emily Gagne is a filmmaker, podcaster and writer. She curates FINAL GIRL FASHION on Instagram, an account showcasing the killer outfits of women in horror. Emily also co-hosts the podcasts We Really Like Her! And What About Meryll? Together they cover the IT miniseries, both feature films and the classic Stephen King novel which started it all. That’s when they dive into Cary Fukunaga’s and Chase Palmer's 2014 draft of the IT adaptation which was ultimately cancelled. Furthermore, they explore the nitty-gritty differences between the Andy Muschietti vision of Derry and how it compares to the Fukanga/Chase draft.Emily and Josh also speculate wildly about why Warner Brothers jumped ship after developing IT with Fukanga for nearly five years. If you are a fan of Stephen King’s IT and Pennywise the Dancing Clown? If so, you won't want to miss this episode. Do you think the recent films did the book justice?
