At this point, Hellraiser's film franchise is more painful than pleasant. After all, most of the sequels made since Hellraiser IV: Bloodline were not even originally provided as Hellraiser films. Determined to retain property rights without spending big dollars, the executions in the studio in the dimensional films had mythology forced to random horror film scripts so they could fuel cheap DTV sequels by their convenience. As you can imagine, these films had such sights to show us-away from the disturbing, thinking that causes a masterpiece that is original at Clevel Barker in 1987.

That said, some fans claim that the Hellraiser franchisee came out of the rails with Hellraiser III: Hellraiser III: Hellraiser III "in 1992, which shows Pinhead (Doug Bradley) and the kenobes causing chaos in Newujork. The film has often been criticized for making the younger elements of the property, but it could have been different if Barker's original idea came true. You see, Barker came up with the story of the origin of the kenobes, inspired by ancient Egyptian mythology and "Mummy"-a project that also has some meaning for the author's career converted into the film. Having this in mind, let's dig the tomb of "Hellraiser III" and find out what could be if his creatives were held with Barker's initial plan.

The Explains the timeline "Hellraiser" The origin of some of the price. In fact, "Hellbound: Hellraiser II" and "Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth" enter some depth around Pinhead, revealing that he was once known as Captain Eliot Spencer, a British soldier who stumbled upon the configuration of the First World War, and he wanted a short time.

However, Barker's original plan for "Hellraiser III" would go well for the first Cenobite, with the idea that the creature was an ancient Egyptian pharaoh with interest to esoteric mysteries. In this unrealized story, the remains of Pharaoh have been brought to the American Museum along with its treasures and artifacts - which, when aligned in a certain way, open the doors to the world of kenobites.

This idea was clearly inspired by the original film "The Mummy" of Universal of 1932, which chronic expedition, unwittingly resurrecting the ancient Egyptian prince. What is interesting is, however, that this version of "Hellraiser III" does not contain the configuration of long confidence in regret to call prices, rather than preferring a ritual that includes the aforementioned treasures. It's a neat idea that is probably more interesting than any in the movie we got instead. Then again, "Hellraiser III" also introduced a silly CD The ore, so it's a win, and the film is much more fun than his days would believe.

Unfortunately, Barker closed the idea of ​​the mummified "Hellraiser III", despite being the person who came up with it. Writer "Hellraiser III" Peter Atkins speculates that the ancient Egyptian element is too similar to another unrealized Barker project in the early 1990s: the "mummy" remake for which universal paintings were not prepared.

The Hellraiser franchisee was pretty mainstream in the 1980s and 90s ... In the sense that the films were played in cinemas and some changes. This also led to Clevel Barker to be attached to some significant projects related to the popular IPS. Rumors say he is pushing for the US remake of Godzilla after Sonny Picks gained rights in 1992, but his idea was overthrown because he was too dark and distorted. (That project then turned into "Godzilla" by Roland Emerich in 1998 "Godzilla", whichever it is worth.)

However, despite his success, Barker's ideas were too out of the Hollywood box then. In 1989 Moreover, the title mummy would be a trance, according to Barker in conversation with Garris on the second "After his death" Podcast. With these words:

"The little boy ... who was born at the beginning of the narrative ... this exceptional woman became. And much of today's narrative for the" mummy ". But this is our naivety, mick.

As mentioned earlier, Barker's original idea for Hellraiser III attracted inspiration from the universal classic. However, his gender rotation of "mummy" thinks of "Helraizer", as a hellish priest, the demon who later became known as Pinhead, is described as Androgen in the original Hellbound Heart novel. Under the supervision of Barker, both properties could be complemented by each other, but it should not have been. Instead, Universal eventually went to the 1999 film "Mami" starring Brendan Fraser (which is still very pleasant-action-Horor film). That, he said, Barker not to make his version more disturbing to think about the "mummy"-inspired "Helraizer" that never happened.
