Clive Barker the Art of Horror
1992
Paramount VHS
I had actually forgotten about this short documentary until last October when someone mentioned watching it. This was a promo tape. When you rented Hellraiser III and sent in your receipt to Paramount you got this tape. Some where over the years I lost my copy. So I was pretty happy when I got a new one.
This is a very short,a little over 30 minutes,interview with Clive Barker. He talks about his thoughts on horror and where he thinks it is headed. We get lots of clips from the various films based off Barker's stories. Sadly pretty much everything in this documentary is stuff that I had heard before in various interviews with Mr Barker.
While this is a interesting piece of horror history,mainly cause of how it was distributed. It is overall disappointing. Clive Barker the Art of Horror gets a D+.
