Clive Barker on Remakes, PG-13 Ratings

September 5th, 2008 in Writers, horror

clive_barker_23psd resized One of my favorite authors Clive Barker recently spoke to MTV, revealing that he is up for remakes of his movies, including Hellraiser and Candyman, noting that as long as there is a good story to be told, the characters can be revisited many times.

He goes on to say that the last few Hellraiser movies went and used the character to make money with no story, and that is the reason they didn’t work. Barker is reportedly excited for the upcoming remake.

The writer also talked about the PG-13 rating that has found its way into horror movies lately.

"It’s one of the most disgusting developments in the last few years; the whole notion of a PG-13 horror movie to me is a contradiction in terms," he said. "It’s like having a XXX Disney picture. It doesn’t work."
