Sometimes the writers here at iHorror get really excited over things other than movies. Case in point, one of our high fidelity team members yelled “Holy tits!” at the announcement of this news. Who can blame him?
Mondo Record Label Manager Spencer Hickman says the soundtrack towers over just about every horror score of the 80’s because Young forwent the popular synth electronica of the time and laid down an exquisite composition to accompany the low budget film.
“It’s a phenomenal piece of work; huge strings,” says Hickman, “waltz-like time signatures, and suites that run from the ethereal to downright scary in a matter of moments. We are thrilled to be releasing HELLRAISER in congestion with Lakeshore Records for its 30th anniversary. This fully remastered sonic assault will tear your ears apart,” said Mondo Record Label Manager Spencer Hickman.
Unfortunately, those of us who live across the pond will have to wait for this collector’s item to sail the Atlantic on October 6 at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles.
But Londoners at the Prince Charles Cinema, where Pinhead made his onscreen debut in 1987, will get to experience the film in all its 35 mm splendor on September 25.
Those lucky attendees will get the poster featuring Tobin’s artwork, but will have to spend their quid in the lobby to get the soundtrack.
Arrow is then scheduled to release a steelbook Blu-ray with Tobin’s genius on display October 30.
“We’ve seen a lot of interpretations of Pinhead in art looking malicious and evil,” said artist Matt Ryan Tobin on his interpretation. “I wanted to focus on the cold and somber aspect of Pinhead; emotionless and almost sad. As much as he is a delegate for the Cenobites, he’s also very much a prisoner; chained down by the very chains he uses to collect and destroy souls. I really wanted the artwork to reflect this.”
Though Pinhead may be melancholy on his station in the afterlife, we are ecstatic about this special collection. To again quote our expressive iHorror team mate, “Holy tits!”

'Civil War' Review: Is It Worth Watching?

It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.
We already knew about the Sébastien Vaniček upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.
Evil Dead Rise
“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”
That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”
Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.
Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.
Happy Sad Confused
Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.
Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.
Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.
The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocentis dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road Housereboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Lifeon the Street in 1994.
Jake Gyllenhaal’s in ‘Presumed Innocent’
Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.
These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:
According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocentseries will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”
Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.
Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.
