Trevler Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hellraiser also takes place in the US, for the most part. There are obviously bits from the various sequels that take place in other locations. (Space, France, the Internet, hell.) But its still grounded in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.HHN Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 ^ LOL I <3 Hellraiser would be awsome to see as a maze but even better as the icon and tram. Terror Tram: Ride to Hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevler Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 It's be good as a maze and Pinhead would make a descent icon, but Terror Tram? I don't think so. the most memorable bits of Hellraiser take place in tight, claustrophobic interiors. Not the Bates Motel and a plane crash.

The house that most of the film took place in was London. I'm pretty sure that's also where Doug Bradley (Pinhead) is from. I know it's not gonna happen however Thirteen Ghosts would be such a kick ass maze! Maybe one day! Even better, House on Haunted Hill. Am I Wrong?

Oh lord one of the Hellraiser sequals took place in space? have we learned nothing from Leprechaun in Space and Jason X!!! Well wtih Silent Hill and Walking Dead taking the US and Alice Goes To Hell not even being on earth that leaves two countries from the top of my head, England- *Shuan Of The Dead *An American Werewolf In London *28 Days/Weeks Later *Army Of Darkness Mexico- *La Llorona Scottland- *Doomsday *Dog Soldiers Japan- *The Grudge All Over The World- Cabin In The Woods (I know its a stretch lol) all I can realy think of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauntfan Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) ^As much as I would want to see those properties, I don't think any of those will happen. The way I see it, Quigley is coming out of left field, and we will all be surprised when it's announced, hopefully in a good way. Edit: Oh, just saw you have La Llorona there too, that's the only property I think will show up this year, hopefully we will get a new maze, but if it's La Llorona, I won't mind THAT much.

Trevler Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Hellbound Heart might have been set in England, but the movies took place in the US, based on the accents of the majority of the characters. And yes, Hellraiser: Bloodlines takes place, partially, in space. Its actually not that bad. The Space stuff is minimal. Also, as much as I love the Blair Witch Mythos... there are like NO actually monsters or anything for a scaractor to play! (Also, Knott's sorta did Blair Witch back in 2000 with their Voodoo Witch Project, but it was pretty filmsy.)

manbeast Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 ^But lets not forget about Hellraiser. I'm telling you guys, that movie was filmed in London, not the U.S. Everything on IMDB says U.K and if you type in the Hellraiser house, it's in London. I'm not saying it's for sure, but Pinhead is a pretty big icon and he really should be next in line at HHN. There has to be some super secret way to tie it in. "Suffer Little Children" sounds like Pinhead's mentality. He might call every human (even adults) his children. Also, I think it's possible Pinhead/Cenobytes are related to a Dick Smith inspiration. Name a horror villian/icon bigger then Pinhead that HAS NOT been at HHN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevler Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) Flimed, sure. Set? No. Its set in the US. Plenty of movies are filmed in countries they aren't set in.

DTH316 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 nope he said this after Quigly and Freak updates the Code Name Thread so don't question he will spank you jk. INCORRECT. Amok was taken out of the game on June 5th. Murdy posted that hint on May 20th. He then changed this hint to what I BELIEVE was "2 countries, 3 take place in the same country. I remember thinking "well, wouldn't that be 3 mazes in one country and 3 in the other?" But then I remembered a single maze could take place in more than one country. I'll look more into it but this has been known for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Hill, as an example, was filmed in Canada. Do they mention at all in the film that it was set in the U.S or are you only basing it on their accents? I don't think accents are enough proof.

Grindhousehero13 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hellraiser does take place in london and Dick Smith did make up for a movie called "Ghost Story" this was on of his creations and here is a Cenobite from the first Hellraiser so maybe Do they mention at all in the film that it was set in the U.S or are you only basing it on their accents? I don't think accents are enough proof. I've always known Hellraiser to be a british horror franchise. Hellraiser is a British/American Film, it does take place in london but the main characters are American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevler Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) With the exception of Julia, Channard, and Pinhead, everyone is American, and Hellraisers 1 and 2 flow directly into Hellraiser 3 which is CLEARLY set in an American city. Hell the main character's father was a US soldier. Since it -was- filmed in the UK, if it was meant to be set there, why did they cast so many Americans/Canadians and have them use their North American accents? It'd have been easy enough to cast plenty of British folk in... Britain. Edited July 27, 2012 by Trevler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grindhousehero13 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Well I just ment Uncle Frank (The Villian) and Khristy (The Protaganist) as main characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevler Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I see no indication anywhere as to it being set in London. Its been a while since I've seen the 1st one though (3 and Inferno are my favorites.. I know, I know!) so am I forgetting some sort of establishing shot that shows a London landmark?

Idk look at the pics I posted Im sure It's Hellraiser It takes place in London, A cenobite from Hellraiser (1987) looks like the faceless ghost from "Ghost Story" (!981) a movie Dick Smith did the make-up for so it is very possible that cenobite was inspired by the faceless ghost.

Mr.HHN Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 I thought about Hellraiser being a maze also but with the clue Dante suffer little children is almost 100°/• La Llorona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember they said it in the movie and the book its based off of "The Hellbound Heart" said it was in London and I looked it up Somewhere in Morocco, Frank Cotton (Sean Chapman) buys an antique puzzle box from a dealer. Back in the attic of his house in London, Frank solves the puzzle box, prompting hooked chains to emerge from it and tear deep into his flesh. Black robed, horribly mutilated humanoids appear and attack Frank with hooked chains, tearing him into pieces. Their leader (Doug Bradley), picks up the box and twists it back into its original state, taking Frank's dissected physical remnants back to their realm with them and restoring the room to normal. Sometime later, Frank's brother Larry (Andrew Robinson) arrives at the house along with his second wife, Julia (Clare Higgins), who previously had an affair with Frank. The pair know Frank as an avowed hedonist and petty criminal, and, presuming that he is in jail in some exotic location, decide to move in. Larry's teenage daughter, Kirsty Cotton (Ashley Laurence), chooses not to live with her stepmother and moves into her own place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevler Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 From http://snarkymonkey.com/headhunter/Reviews/Hellraiser.html "And speaking of locations, where in the hell is this supposed to take place? Hellraiser was based on the Hellbound Heart a short story of Barker’s. In the story, it plainly states that the house at 55 Lodovico Street is located in London England. Likewise the film was shot in London. But I can’t help thinking that it’s supposed to be an American town in the film. Most of the periphery characters are American and one of the extras is even seen wearing a New York Yankees hat. Hellraiser II pretty much cements it as far as my America theory. In that film we are introduced to a character named Ronson who is your stereotypical NBC must-see TV crime drama detective. He’s not a member of Scotland Yard and he doesn’t carry a baton or a stop sign. So I can only assume that he’s American. It’s a small detail I know, but its always one that has niggled at my loins. " It seems like where the movie takes place is actually a hotly debated topic elsewhere too! The book def. takes place in England though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manbeast Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) You definitely make some points Trevler, but I think I'm still on the London bandwagon. Perhaps the movie has flaws with getting American actors, that's a good point. IDK. Halloween was also set in Illinois, but you can see palm trees in some scenes. 80's movies for ya. Would HHN care more about actual film location or set location? Even though Hellraiser 1 & 2 might lead into the US on the 3rd (which I can't confirm, but your probably right), it's still not 1 & 2. Sequels change all the time and lead into different locations such as space. Sometimes for better or worse. Seems like a million questions and not enough answers. Maybe we'll still get TCM, and La Llorona afterall. Edited July 27, 2012 by manbeast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grindhousehero13 Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Is it possible... that The Smiths takes place in another country, besides Mexico and Quigley takes place in that same country? Just a thought... he said 3 different countrys so here are the hints for Suffer little children. Maze #1: "The Smiths" - One of the songs from the Smiths reveals the theme to the maze. The song is "Suffer Little Children". -A character inside the maze is inspired by a Dick Smith creation (Dick Smith was a make-up artist for the Exorcist). -Theme for the maze went out on survey in November 2011. Hellraiser was on the survey, The chatter mouth Cenobite looks like Dick Smith's Faceless ghost from "Ghost Story", can't say too much for Suffer Little Children but the song is about something that happened in england and Pin-head is always talking about suffering so to me "The Smiths" is either Hellraiser or La Llorona.
