{"product_id":"hellraiser-films-and-their-legacy-paul-kane-9780786477173","title":"Hellraiser Films and Their Legacy","description":"\u003cp\u003e Best-selling horror novelist Clive Barker's 1987 film \u003ci\u003eHellraiser\u003c\/i\u003e has become an undisputed horror classic, spawning a movie franchise that to date includes eight films. Exploring not only the cinematic interpretations of the Hellraiser mythos but also its intrusion into other artistic and cultural forms, this volume begins by identifying the unconventional sources of Barker's inspiration and following Barker from his pre-\u003ci\u003eHellraiser\u003c\/i\u003e cinematic experience through the filming of the horror classic. It examines various themes (such as the undermining of the traditional family unit and the malleability of the flesh) found throughout the film series and the ways in which the representation of these themes changes from film to film. The religious aspects of the films are also discussed. Characters central to the franchise--and the mythos--are examined in detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Kane\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786477172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786477173\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/04\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Paul Kane","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988251410687,"sku":"9780786477173","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0455d91c-93a2-4c35-8c69-b20ccd44afaa.jpg?v=1683293474","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hellraiser-films-and-their-legacy-paul-kane-9780786477173","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
