This is what the soliloquay from the "nunnery" scene in Hamlet looks like when you translate it from English to Arabic to Bulgarian to Catalan to Chinese (simplified) to Chinese (traditional) to Czech to Danish to Dutch to Estonian to Finnish to French to German to Greek to Haitian Creole to Hebrew to Hindi and back to English again.

Yes or no question.

Sea problems.
And stop! Revived/To? If you die.
Before going to sleep, spout. it out? And he said,
He's a natural in front of a crush of thousand dust.
It is a legacy of meat? Going to a wedding
Want to start with it is simple.
If you do, I hope, rêve sleep
You can be dead sleep dream
If we lose the body maidch
We must be committed, we have to accommodate. Please respect
The problem is, don't die, over a long period of time.

I'm glad Ash vs. Freddy vs. Jason was never made into a film. The Evil Dead trilogy has too much dignity to be watered down by association with the jokes that the Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street franchises became.

Wasn't there a comic book where Ash faced off against them though?

Where were you in '77?

Yeah. I've never read it though (and don't want to, especially since most Evil Dead comics suck).

Pinhead was meant to appear in Freddy Vs Jason. One less indignity but why can't they leave the poor sod alone?

Actually he probably gets off on this sort of thing the perv.

They're still cranking out DTV sequels to Hellraiser? I hope Clive still gets a check from those things. And that fellow looks nothing like Doug.

Actually to be honest none of the films were anywhere near as good as they should have been and Inferno (which Clive apparently loathed) is ironically nearer to the source material albeit via Jacob's Ladder.

The original which looks good in stills is pretty cheesy stuff (all those references to Hades shoehorned in) and where the Hell is it meant to be set Liverpool or that someplace in America where Perpugilliam 'the twin dilemma" Brown was born?

The accents are as weird as hell.

 It's set in the British States of America =P

Perhaps it was intentional to add another layer of strangeness? I recall other movies where the setting is a little vague, presumably because the suits don't want anything "too British" to appeal to American audiences.

I thought the original two films were heads above most of the horror coming out at the time. Freddy and Jason were veering into self parody by then.

If you want really weird accents, check out the dubbed version of the original Mad Max sometime. ;)

If you haven't read The Hellbound Heart you should.

It's the same story minus the cheese and all the more spicy for it.

It that story could be faithfully adapted it would make one Hell of a movie.

Mr. Clive Barker and I had a short DM conversation on Twitter once and he followed me for awhile. Then he stopped.

Also Dr. Forrester and TV's Frank follow me.

I can't believe it, they actually got someone who could really sing, to sing the National Anthem as the Super Bowl instead of  someone who butchers it.  I'm in shock.  

Author

"Super Bowl" sounds more like a bowling competition than football. But whatever.

Author

That is what they have called it since 1968.

I'm not questioning it, just thinking random thoughts through my fingers, onto the keyboard, and into my post.

He said TV's Frank, not TV's Frink. It's some guy with a similar last name.

The Seahawks sure made Manning their b____ in the Superbowl.   What a debacle for Denver and Manning.  If I were a Broncos fan,I would be p-oed.

What's happened to Clive's voice and body are beyond anything he has written in terms of bizarreness. He went from a mild Liverpool accent to a weird Loyd Grossman mid-Atlantic voice to Animal off the Muppets and his body has turned into a badly made action figure.
