Talk:Hellraiser

message: The Reception paragraph needs citations:
Stephen King's "I have seen the future..." quote appears in Stephen King's introduction to the "Clive Barker's Shadows In Eden" book edited by Stephen Jones  but I can't cite it without seeing a hard copy of the book. Note that Stephen is not responding to the Hellraiser movie, but Barker as an author in general so another review is needed.
The box office gross figure is from Box Office Mojo  Can someone please add this citation in?
Any diehard fans have British sources "championing" the film?

message: Just wondering if mention of the original soundtrack by Coil (ultimately rejected by the studio) for the first Hellraiser would be proper encyclopedic? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.120.157.189 (talk • contribs) 07:35, 27 November 2004
:Yes, but only as part of a discussion of the music used in this film or in the series.  Simply throwing in a statement to the effect that Coil composed a soundtrack that was rejected would be somewhat irrelevant unless more details about soundtracks is included.

replies: text: I've added a Soundtrack section that's mostly on the rejected Coil soundtrack, but which has a bit on Christopher Young's score for the first two Hellraiser movies. As Coil's rejected soundtrack has been commercially released at least twice, it seemed appropriate to address the subject. --Pearce.duncan 03:47, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Pinhead is a very knowledgable villian in the Hellraiser series. He has his Cenobites and this box of hell. But why is his reason for bringing such pain to these innocent people? He was in a mental institution and he was too much for them, they killed him and now he is on a rampage. It doesn't have much thought in the storyline. Thumbs way down to Hellraiser.

thread_title:  The Psychology of Hellraiser 

message: I think the "Quotes from Hellraiser" section should be removed.  It strikes me as terribly unencyclopedic.  It lends nothing to the user's understanding of the film or its legacy.  This isn't a fan trivia site or a movie quote database.  We're already linking to IMDB, where most of these quotes can already be found.  Lastly, I think that some of these quotes aren't even from this film, but from one of the sequels.  Anybody agree, disagree, feel motivated to violent protest? Canonblack 22:46, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. --Myles Long 00:05, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Agree. The quotes are from more than one of the sequels - there's stuff from Hellbound and Hell On Earth in there. --Pearce.duncan 03:03, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Also, I think "Pinhead: "Hell is the sound of razors going through flesh. I'm just here to turn up the volume."" from HOE is wrong.  It's something like "There's a secret sound at the heart of the world and it's razors through flesh.  It's always been there, I'm just here to turn up the volume." --68.232.64.116 21:39, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Ok, i’m bold and remove the section. None of the quotes provides any deeper understanding of the film. They are just sort of a subjective list of favoured sayings. Nice stuff for a fan page – but not at all encyclopaedic. --Zinnmann 14:19, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I've edited the section on Barker's involvement in the sequels. He was a credited executive producer on the fourth movie as well as the second and third. Also, the earlier entry said that he had writing credit on the subsequent movies, which implies that he had a hand in their stories or screenplays. In truth he only had character creation credit. This confusion might come from that fact that the IMDb lumps character creation under the "writing" category. --Pearce.duncan 03:16, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Clive Barker's credits

message: Why is there not a portal for the Hellraiser franchise (incorporating the novella, comics, etc...) ? I have read that Barker is writing the story only but the directors will be writing the script, and the script will differ from the original written story. See : http://twitchfilm.net/site/view/inside-directors-speak-on-hellraiser/ (^ Blake. "Inside Directors Speak on Hellraiser", TwitchFilm, 2007-10-13. Retrieved on 2007-10-13).

message: Under the plot summary, it says Julia incapacitates them with a hammer, then Frank drains their blood. But under differences from novel, it says the way in which Julia kills the victims is different. Well, obviously the third one survived Julia's attack, since he lived for a few seconds after Frank drained his blood, but that first guy looked as though he was dead when she hit him with the hammer. 24.65.118.20 (talk) 03:29, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Unsourced Material 

message: I just noticed that when you go to edit the plot, it says:
PER WIKIPEDIA'S GUIDELINES AND POLICIES REGARDING PLOTS FOR FILMS, PLEASE DO NOT ADD ANY MORE INFORMATION TO THIS PLOT. PLOTS ARE NOT SUBSTITUTIONS FOR WATCHING THE FILM. THANK YOU.
I'm familiar with the normal policy about the 400-700 word suggested range, unnecessary detail, bla bla bla, but where does policy say an editor can't add something productive to a plot? I noticed that it currently sits at 666 words, hmmm.
If a warning is needed, shouldn't it ask editors to avoid too much detail or something like that, instead of saying not to add anything at all?Capuchinpilates (talk) 02:29, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
