Clive Barker Almost Had His Own Disney Park (Yes, Really)
if there is any one thing that has made Clive Barker truly stand apart as a creator, it has been his incredible ability to tell stories within a variety of mediums. He seamlessly transitioned from horror fiction to horror film incredibly early in his career, had made a living in macabre theatre before that, and has since tackled video games, comics and even action figures as well. With each of these things, he always managed to tell stories that were distinctly his own, with his own specific voice and style, while also always managing to cater to the specific strengths of these often incredibly diverse mediums. When looking at his career as a whole, it seems like there’s almost nothing he hasn’t done. That’s what I love about the subject of this article. When you say “Clive Barker almost had his own park at Disneyland,” there’s that one small part of the most seasoned Barker fan that might say, “Okay, I can see it,” while the rest are simultaneously saying, “I’m sorry, what?”
That rabbit hole brought me to this- (I know this is satire but the above isn’t)
Disney Opens 200-Acre Sadomasochism Theme Park After Purchasing Rights To Hellraiser Franchise
ORLANDO—Six years after acquiring the rights to the 1987 horror classic, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products formally opened its new World Of Agony Monday, a 200-acre sadomasochistic theme park based on the Hellraiser franchise. “As soon as guests crawl through the main entrance, they’ll be transported to a searing nether realm where skinless demons roam free and the boundary between pain and pleasure is all but erased,” said company president George Kalogridis, noting that visitors would be inundated with sounds and visuals designed to short-circuit their senses and make them feel as though at any moment a Cenobite could jump through a wall and flay them alive.
