Dramatization

Two classics of the horror genre, both made into well regarded movies by Bernard Rose & Clive Barker himself, get the audio drama treatment.

I have applied a little time-delayed cross-feed to give binaural-like enhancement to the stereo when listening via headphones. Should still sound fine on speakers, but headphones will be better.

THE FORBIDDEN (filmed as CANDYMAN)

Helen and her husband Trevor have recently moved into a gated community in the area where she originally grew up. She is becoming more and more disturbed by a nightmare, where she finds herself in a basement on her old estate and knows someone else is there. But who? And what do they want from her?

As Helen insists on exploring the old estate, meeting an old friend and encountering mysterious, frightened teenagers, her home life is affected badly. As she grows increasingly suspicious that Trevor is being unfaithful, she returns to the basement which now haunts her sleep. What she discovers there is both a horrific shock and a sense of coming home, at last.

THE HELLBOUND HEART (filmed as HELLRAISER)

When Frank Cotton finally acquires a fabled puzzle box, he gets more than he bargained for… Because the box is a doorway to another world, to Hell and its dubious pleasures, ruled over by the sadistic Cenobites. And Frank’s reward for opening the box is an eternity of pain beyond imagining.

But when his brother, Rory, and his wife Julia move in to the house where Frank conducted the ritual, he sees a means of escape. For Julia was once Frank’s lover and swore to do anything for him… even kill, if it would make Frank whole again. Julia will stop at nothing to bring her lover back from Hell, and only Rory’s friend Kirsty unwittingly stands in their way…
