Sometimes the writers here at iHorror get really excited over things other than movies. Case in point, one of our high fidelity team members yelled “Holy tits!” at the announcement of this news. Who can blame him?
Mondo Record Label Manager Spencer Hickman says the soundtrack towers over just about every horror score of the 80’s because Young forwent the popular synth electronica of the time and laid down an exquisite composition to accompany the low budget film.
“It’s a phenomenal piece of work; huge strings,” says Hickman, “waltz-like time signatures, and suites that run from the ethereal to downright scary in a matter of moments. We are thrilled to be releasing HELLRAISER in congestion with Lakeshore Records for its 30th anniversary. This fully remastered sonic assault will tear your ears apart,” said Mondo Record Label Manager Spencer Hickman.
Unfortunately, those of us who live across the pond will have to wait for this collector’s item to sail the Atlantic on October 6 at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles.
But Londoners at the Prince Charles Cinema, where Pinhead made his onscreen debut in 1987, will get to experience the film in all its 35 mm splendor on September 25.
Those lucky attendees will get the poster featuring Tobin’s artwork, but will have to spend their quid in the lobby to get the soundtrack.
Arrow is then scheduled to release a steelbook Blu-ray with Tobin’s genius on display October 30.
“We’ve seen a lot of interpretations of Pinhead in art looking malicious and evil,” said artist Matt Ryan Tobin on his interpretation. “I wanted to focus on the cold and somber aspect of Pinhead; emotionless and almost sad. As much as he is a delegate for the Cenobites, he’s also very much a prisoner; chained down by the very chains he uses to collect and destroy souls. I really wanted the artwork to reflect this.”
Though Pinhead may be melancholy on his station in the afterlife, we are ecstatic about this special collection. To again quote our expressive iHorror team mate, “Holy tits!”

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.
Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.
The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.
Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”
Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.
Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes
Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.
Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’sAbigail.
There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.
28 Days Later
The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
