Last Updated on September 13, 2021

A couple months ago, an episode of our WTF Happened to This Horror Movie video series dug into the making of Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth. With the newly released episode that’s embedded above, we’re returning to the Hellraiser franchise, this time to examine the making of Hellbound: Hellraiser II! (You can watch Hellraiser II at THIS LINK.)

Directed by Tony Randel from a screenplay by Peter Atkins, the film has the following synopsis:

Confined to a mental hospital, young Kirsty Cotton insists her supposedly dead father is stuck in hell, controlled by sadomasochistic demons after being betrayed by his evil, occult-obsessed wife, Julia. Few believe Kirsty, except the thrill-seeking Dr. Channard, who is intrigued by S&M and the young woman’s lurid stories. So when Kirsty and fellow patient Tiffany head to hell for a rescue, Channard and Julia are close behind.

The film stars Ashley Laurence, Clare Higgins, Kenneth Cranham, and Imogen Boorman, with Doug Bradley as the iconic Pinhead.

This is what the WTF Happened to This Horror Movie series is all about:

Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster, but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs. Either way, we have to ask: WTF Happened To This Horror Movie?

The Hellbound: Hellraiser II episode of WTF Happened to This Horror Movie was Written by Bryan Woldford, Narrated by Jason Hewlett, Edited by Lance Vlcek, Produced by Lance Vlcek, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

The Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth episode can be seen below, along with a couple other episodes of the show. To see more, head over to our JoBlo Horror Videos YouTube channel – and subscribe while you’re there!
