Thanks for subscribing and listening to the Clive Barker Podcast, the only podcast dedicated to the imagination of Clive Barker. In this, Episode 191, Jose and I talk with Ed and Nina Martinez about the Clive Barker Fanzine days, and particularly their work with Cenobium, collaborating with Clive Barker and many other friends of the show. We also talk about Ed's special effects work. This episode took some planning to pull it off, and we'll probably have to have them back again for a part 2.
We have a treat of an episode today. Before we start, I want you to go read this feature article I wrote a short while back, Deep From The Vaults #02: Coenobium Magazine. If you're familiar with Ed and his work in the FX industry and are a Coenobiumcollector, then go right ahead and listen to our episode. Ed & Nina Arlene Martinez were kind enough to join us on Skype this week and we're bringing you a pretty in-depth discussion about Hellraiser, FX work and how Hellraiserbrought together friends and lovers over the years.
From the origins of Coenobium, to the Hellraiser: Bloodlineand Lord of Illusionsset visits, meeting Clive Barker and discussing other fan magazines of the 90s, cosplaying in horror conventions, we go on a long conversation that goes the early inspiration for Ed's love of movies after watching King Kong, (King Kong's armature in Bob Burns' collection), Getting sketches for Coenobium straight from Clive's sketch book, working with talented artists and writers, talking about the Hellraiser sequels and the future of Hellraiser and what we'd like to see happen in the near future - #BringBackPeterAtkins, #LetDougBradleyDirectHellraiser- We cover it all.
Ed worked in movies like Galaxis,
The Dead
Pit, The G-String
Horrorand Black Devil
Doll(click for YouTube trailers!), and we briefly touch on
those as well, and how hard it is to get extras to sit
still on the chair to become slime-covered zombies, stop motion
animation robots, Ed's work at ATARI, his work sculpting and
producing limited run model kits of the Engineer and the
Chatterbeast, and all sorts of fun memories of interviews and
dressing up as Tolkien Orcs!
Here's an article on how they did it titled: Making
a Moria Orc - by Ed and Nina!
Nina and Ed also have a youtube channel where they upload their Papa George and Duckyvideo series mentioned in the show!
