A Boy and His "Hellraiser" Box (with pics!)
On April 21st, Anchor Bay will be releasing a "Hellraiser Limited Edition Box Set", which will contain the special Editions of "Hellraiser" and "Hellraiser 2: The Hellbound Heart", as well as a brand new Bluray edition of the original. Better yet, it comes in the package we've all been waiting for!
The horrors of Hellraiser are back – looking and sounder better than ever, and each one featuring a savage selection of special features including audio commentaries with cast and crew, retrospective interviews and vintage featurettes, trailers and teasers, and a shocking assortment of other enticements for the Hellraiser faithful. When Doug Bradley's Pinhead said: "We have such things to show you" – he wasn't kidding, and neither is Anchor Bay!
I'm not special enough for the full box set, but the fine folks over at AB did send me a "mock-up" of the box, which I have been longingly staring at ever since I opened up the package yesterday. In fact, as Pee-Wee Herman often suggested to me as a child, I may in fact just "marry it". Here are some pics I snapped this morning to give you an idea of the size and mechanics of it. It's not the most substantial thing in the world, but I can assure you it will look KICKASS on a shelf. So, Enjoy!
Next to my hipster iPhone, for perspective. It's larger than I expected.
There are little finger "notches" on the top and bottom, which enable you to open the box.
A shot of the way the box slides open. (yes, I wear Family Guy pajamas)
What it looks like fully opened up.
Finally, a look from the top down. The discs will sit in those notches
