Clive Barker Says Pascal Laugier is Off the Hellraiser Remake". Firstshowing.net. 4 June 2009 . Retrieved 13 August 2009. There’s very little analysis of why these people were the way they were, or how - just as remarkably - they survived that long when contemporaries like Robert Newton did the same stuff and perished. It’s a bit of a running theme, other actors going down in flames and that not registering with any of our foursome as like, I dunno, perhaps a sort of hint.Richard Burton, Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole, and Oliver Reed: On screen they were stars.

Hellraisers by Robert Sellers | Waterstones

This book is about his legendary drunkenness, along with Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole and another favourite of mine, Oliver Reed.

Now accompanied by a mysterious companion, who spurs him on, he decides to put this happy facility to use – resulting in gargantuan feats of debauchery, alongside the “cutting off” of religious rivals.
