[email protected]://buymeacoffee.com/twrpodIn Part 1 of this special two-part conversation, The Wandering Road Podcast and Southern Demonology Podcast sit down with horror legend Doug Bradley for a wide-ranging discussion that goes far beyond Hellraiser.Doug reflects on his lifelong fascination with ghosts, horror, mythology, and the paranormal, and explains why he describes himself as a “religious atheist.” From there, the conversation moves into religion, the problem of evil, the Hebrew Bible, demonology, and the strange tension between skepticism and wonder. Doug also shares how horror first entered his life through Hammer films, Poe, Lovecraft, and Tolkien, before looking back on his early creative relationship with Clive Barker and the path that eventually led to Pinhead.This first half also includes Doug’s reflections on becoming part of horror history, the legacy of Pinhead, and what it means to leave an indelible mark on the genre decades after the role first appeared on screen. If you want Doug Bradley at his most thoughtful, reflective, and fascinating, this is the place to begin.Support the showSOCIAL MEDIATwitter: @TWRoadpodcastIG: twroadpodcastWant to be a guest or share your paranormal experiences?  Email [email protected]
