>>88586021

Clive Barker has been giving me confused boners for years.

>>88586386
Especially the cenobites. I like to imagine corrupting a cenobite by making her want a happy relationship through gentle loving sex.

>>88586535
>>88586535

oh man, don't get me started. Everyone looks at me like I'm crazy every time I mention them being really attractive - Pinhead specially. His voice is the cherry on top.

Awesome, thank you

>>88582671
I guess Rawhead is supposed to be a metaphor for pedos.
>likes to "eat" children
>hates menstrual blood
>fears woman
>catholic symblism
Etc.

>>88580994
Is that it?

>>88582671
>Pepe
>stoner frog who wants to eat snacks and play videogames

Where are you getting this interpretation of Pepe? Sounds more like you're describing anon.

>>88577697
>Nicholas Vince
>Chattering with God
Heh.

>>88586021
This thing is basically an engorged penis that eats children... you know you're a fag, right?

>>88588084
I saw him as being a bit close to the concept of "toxic masculinity"; the inadequacy of the males in the story and their ineffectualness in trying to stop him from gorging himself on their children. The Deacon was essentially a pedo, based on his relationship to Rawhead

>>88588775
What? The fact that it had a penis itself didn't tip you off, detective?

>>88588833

Barker is just a huge pervert who does great sexualised horror, I don't think it's meant to be a criticism of anything.

>>88588185
The goofy meme pepe. Not the comicbook character.

>>88588876
Yeah i didn't mean so much as a criticism of it (thats up for you to make or not, as a reader) as i think he horror just plays off of that part of the human psyche. The "maybe it was just a rape fantasy gone out of control" bit as well as Coot's thoughts of becoming submissive to Rawhead as it attacked the door were pretty on the nose.

>>88588836
50% of everyone on earth has a penis, dumbo. This guy's head is a fucking mushroom tip

I want to buy the rights to this and reboot it where he's a jive-talking sambo with BIG fuckin lips, and he literally cuckolds someone at one point

I would have liked to see a bit of what Rawhead was meant to look like if he wasn't starved from being stuck underground for a thousand years. Would he be strong enough to take on that whole village by himself if he was full strength?

>>88588952
IIRC I read an interview where Barker said he basically finds shit that squicks him and writes it from a perspective of genuine fear/disgust/whatever.

>>88589589
HE's always seemed comparatively high-concept for a horror author to me

>>88588833
It's unironically this.

Rawhead is a giant naked penis with a penis that goes around avoiding 'gross' women, killing kids, making other males inadequate, pissing to establish dominance, jacking off, etc.

He is meant to be the 'horrors' of man before man was civilized, but still deep in the back of the minds of men. A primal, disgusting urge that we think we're above.

Or something like that. in before /pol/.

>>88585983
I legit enjoyed The Thief of Everything.

>>88585983

I had a phase when I was a teenager when I fucking adored that book. Literally good memories of just times when I was reading it.

That was fucking horrifying OP, well done. Short and sweet and paleolithic. I was so salty after Great and Secret Show and the empty fart that was the climax of Abarat that I forgot Barker knows what he's about in terms of horror. Amazing art too.

>tfw we'll never know why Rawhead was so afraid of grills

I wonder if the Venus was the other half of his species, some crazy psychic dominant thicc monster that had pheromonal control of him or something. It's the one part of the backstory that isn't really explained.

Huh.

>>88590395

TGASS and Everworld or whatever the fuck were just too druggy for my tastes. The writing was impressive but nothing made sense and it reeked of "I just wrote down my drug trip and sold that shit, now gib me money, gib gib gib"

Rawhead on the other hand has a clear idea of the story Barker wanted to tell, based on what I think is an actual legend, Rawhide-and-Bloody-Bones.

>>88590296

Hey, to be fair, they didn't have this awesome design from the comic to work with. Movie was 1986, comic was 1993 and looks it. Pity, because the comic Rawhead design would be perfect for practical effects. Look at those fucking lips, Jim Henson would have had a field day building that puppet.

>>88590503
Now that's just cheating

>>88590531

I think the only one I've really disliked is Gallilee because it was basically a fuckhuge Mills and Boon novel about lusting after a magical black guy with some fantasy elements. I'm sure it was great if it suited your tastes but he left me behind on that one.

>>88578383

Am I the only one who didn't like this? I mean, I don't necessarily dislike Clive Barker, thought the first couple of Hell Raisers were ok, but this whole thing was kind of.. dumb. The art was amazing, no doubt, but the monster was just stupid. The whole thing reminds me of edgy scribbles you'd see in a highschool student's binder, only really well drawn.

>>88595956
>The whole thing reminds me of edgy scribbles you'd see in a highschool student's binder, only really well drawn.

if that doesn't sound awesome to you then you probably won't like most Barker. There's more to it than that but that's not a bad general description

thanks OP
