Some horror directors create monsters. Clive Barker creates mythologies.

Now Playing Podcast steps into Barker’s dark imagination with reviews of Hellraiser, Candyman, Lord of Illusions, and more. Films where pain is pleasure, urban legends have hooks, magicians guard terrible secrets, and the last train ride might be your final stop.

Barker’s worlds are sensual, philosophical, and unapologetically grotesque. But do these adaptations capture the power of his twisted prose, or do they get lost in the labyrinth? Join the Now Playing Podcast crew as they open the box and see what comes out.
