It’s only within the last year that I got to see the original Demonic Toys. It’s too bad that this one doesn’t really seem to have much to do with it (in terms of human characters and setting)—I suppose if I wanted a more direct follow-up, Charles Band expected me to find a copy of Dollman vs. Demonic Toys (which I assume has Tim Thomerson as an additional selling point).

Huntress: No, you’re right. Unfortunately, it isn’t the littlest bit humorous and Pinhead–who was apart of said sculpture–then breaks free and makes an ass out of the entire franchise… again.

Nathan: The sculpture in Hellraiser 3 eats people. It may even shoot out hooked chains that drag people into its gaping maw- it’s been a long time since I’ve seen the movie, so I may be thinking of something else.

I would like to see a killer toys movie where the toys are easily captured because, you know, they’re toys. Then a priest exorcises them without much trouble. The demonic forces suffer a complete and humiliating defeat and are ridiculed.

“Father, why would demons possess toys?”
“I don’t know. I guess they’re getting stupid.”

It’d probably be difficult to do as a film, because if you showed the sculpture the audience would be likely to go “erm…I’m looking at it, and it isn’t driving me mad.”

Some people find that optical illusions, like Escher’s pictures, make them feel queasy, so maybe something like that..

More seriously, you could do a Lovecraftian story about a sculpture which drives you mad if you contemplate it.

Deranged: To be honest, I haven’t seen Hellraiser 3. But is the sculpture itself a killer? Does it hop around, cackling maniacally and stabbing at people’s ankles?

Maybe they could do a Zardoz thing and float around spewing weapons at people. This time pointy weapons that spear them! In an ironic way, of course.

Well, there was one movie I can think of that centered around a modernist sculpture; Hellraiser 3.

Or was that intentionally blocked from your memory? (Not that I would blame you in the least)
