Caught a couple of slick CLIVE BARKER scoops at the FANGORIA WEEKEND OF HORRORS (Read Part 1 of my report here).

Barker said:

- His next novel will be called THE SCARLET GOSPEL where he will aim to return to his roots and shock the hell out of people. - THE SCARLET GOSPEL will be set in hell and will clearly explain the nature of Pinhead, untangle the contradictions that the films have created about him and give him a dignified death, where Dimension Films can't reach him.

- Barker is now producing THE PLAGUE under his own Prod Company. The film tells the tale of children falling asleep for 10 years to wake up with dark appetites and desires.

- His Prod Company aims to deliver hard R pictures shot on a modest budget.

- Clive's next film as a Producer will be an adaptation of his short story THE MEAT TRAIN which he says will be a hardcore movie shot in New York.

- PINHEAD VS. MICHAEL didn't happen because the people behind the Halloween franchise didn't want Michael demeaned by Pinhead. They felt that their characters and mythology were a step above the Hellraiser world. Basically Pinhead wasn't good enough to be in the same film as Michael...okay...

-Universal dropped TORTURED SOULS THE MOVIE because their film DOOM dealt with demons and hey didn't want two demon films on their slate. But Tortured Souls will happen and Clive just might direct it...YIPPEE!

More Clive Barker stuff when Part 2 of my report hits the site tomorrow...stay dead!

as much as love clive and his movies, yes even nightbreed, he needs to stick to writing.
his directing skills were never all that great.
