I'm glad you're prioritizing your well-being, family, endeavors. You've always graced us with quality, but I know it will be even more meaningful going forward. Thank you for this wonderful essay. I adore old-school horror films. Sometimes the worse, the better for me, because they did stuff normally not done in other movies.
To everything you say, I'd add that the writer's work can get easily mangled in post-production. Bloodline in that regard is fascinating because it was so extensively re-edited that the director took his name off it. He apparently never even got to shoot the entire script he wanted.
And that means the actual story Atkins wanted to tell about the maker of the box and his legacy never quite made it to the screen, which is rather sad.
I love Hellraiser 3. I found the franchise not long before it was released and was possibly prime 90s Teen target audience. Since then, I've discovered the sheer fun of Anthony Hickox (RIP) and his filmography and acting regulars. It's not deep horror, but it's got a special place in my heart for what it does and how.

I agree. And thanks for checking back in! Hadn't seen you in a while, and I've wondered if things were okay. Glad to see you back.
I'm kind of in a similar situation with prioritizing my health and other things. I also want to produce less but with more meaning. :)

Yep. Lots of hands in that pie.

Absolutely, Cat. I love Warlock: The Armageddon and the Waxwork films as well.
Thank you so much for restacking!
