Clive Barker is my favorite author. I got turned on to him by a blurb Stephen King said in the mid 80's. I had a large CB collection, many signed first editions & all of his Marvel/Epic comics from the early 90's, & multiple magazines featuring him. I also had all of his films on DVD with the first Hellraiser signed by Doug Bradley! I lost my collection due to my drug addiction, but I'm sober now so I look forward to building my collection back up.

I’m not a fan of horror, however there’s two horror filmmakers I’ve somehow fallen in love with like I haven’t since I was young kid watching Kubrick… Tobe Hooper and now Clive Barker. Something about their first works I saw from them - Chainsaw 74 and Hellraiser- grabbed me and made me go What the Fuck in the best ways possible. Then discovering their personalities and character and insights off screen, made me fall in love with them and their work. I can’t say I know what it is. Great artists.
