A still image of Julia from Hellraiser. She’s wearing a yellow top, sneering, and holding up a razor blade. In the film, the character seduced men and murdered them to return her undead lover’s human form. Her unhinged delight in brutalizing strangers was truly unsettling. This is a small but vital element to a much larger story.
A still of Dr. Decker from the film Nightbreed. He wears a gray mask with a zipper mouth and button eyes. He’s dressed in a slightly big suit and holding a long, sharp knife. The character in the film is soft spoken and ice cold. It’s another element a mythic story.
A still of Mahogany from Midnight Meat Train. He is sitting alone in a sterile subway car. He has a professional bag in his lap. His suit fits him well. He is also knows as The Butcher. While he is the main villain of the piece, there is a larger story happening around him.
I just noticed Clive Barker’s unique talent for hiding incredible slasher villains in non-slasher movies.
