It's Hellraiser, for kids

hellraiserIt's just a joke, of course, but I can't help but think that turning the movie Hellraiser into a children's program is a really great idea.

Heckraiser: The New Breed is an animated program about the adventures of SafetyPinHead and the Junior Cenobites, who must thwart their arch nemesis, Nanny, as they try to find the puzzle box that will send them all back to Heck. I think that sounds positively heartwarming, and it gets even better. A scene from the first episode is describe thusly:

In the premier episode, SafetyPinHead feels jealous because he thinks Butterball Cenobite ate the last piece of Lemon Meringue pie. Butterball swears he didn't, but SafetyPinHead is so sure Butterball is fibbing that he concocts a trap that springs rusty hooks into Butterball's stomach and flays his intestines open, exposing the pie, which SafetyPinHead greedily gobbles up. They both wind up with tummy-aches, but for completely different reasons!

Sure it may sound a bit graphic for preschoolers, but have you ever seen Jo Jo's Circus? That little clown girl is much more creepy.
