This is a 27" x 41" US one-sheet designed by Pulse Advertising to
promote the 1987 Clive Barker film Hellraiser based on Barker's
novel The Hellbound Heart and starring Oliver Smith as Frank the
Monster. Plot summary: This film was Clive Barker's first
feature-length film. When Frank Cotton [Sean Chapman] solves a puzzle
he has purchased in Morocco, his flesh is torn apart by hooked chains
that emerge from the box. This event opens up the unseen realm of
sadomasochistic Cenobites, whose leader is the pin-headed monster on
the poster. A dark figure picks up the puzzle box and rearranges the
room in the abandoned home the way it was. Frank has had an affair
with Julia [Clare Higgins], the wife of his brother Larry. When Larry
[Andrew Robinson] cuts his hand on a nail the blood drips on the
remnants of Frank's concealed body and brings him back to life. Later
the same night Julia finds Frank and agrees to help him achieve full
restoration by harvesting blood from men she picks up in a bar and
murders, and Frank's body is regenerated. Julia's daughter Kirsty
[Ashley Laurence] arrives later, solves the puzzle again and
rereleases the Cenobites.
Cast and crew: Clive Barker, Andrew Robinson, Clare Higgins, Ashley Laurence, Sean Chapman, Oliver Smith, Robert Hines, Anthony Allen, Leon Davis, Michael Cassidy, Frank Baker, Kenneth Nelson, Gay Baynes, Niall Buggy, Dave Atkins, Oliver Parker
