"Critical studies of Clive Barker's work"?

I must say I've never seen a section like this. What's the reasoning for them being there? Bataaf van Oranje (Prinsgezinde) (talk) 13:48, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Collections" vs "Books of Blood"

In the U.S. , "In The Flesh" & "The Inhuman Condition" were released as paperbacks , but , they are merely variations of the "Books of Blood" ( Even their hyperlinks go to the appropriate "Books of Blood". ). So , I guess the question is , do "In The Flesh" & "The Inhuman Condition" need their own mention? Or perhaps something like: "In The Flesh" ( U.S. version of "Books of Blood Vol.IV" ) ? Admittedly , the cover art to the U.S. releases is unique , but , the hyperlink(s) don't go to separate entries , where you could display them. 75.104.163.77 (talk) 20:41, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Born" in preproduction for 13 years?

The filmography mentions a movie TBA called Born. The first mention of this was added without citation or explanation in 2008: http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Clive_Barker&oldid=232392049. It's just been sitting there in the TBA pile ever since. I'm removing it now, but feel free to re-add it if sources can be provided demonstrating that this movie really is still in development (if it ever was.)

Hellraiser: The Toll

Since this article is primarily about Barker and not the Hellraiser franchise, should we restructure the listing for The Toll to something like:

Heaven's Reply (Unfinished and unreleased short story; served as a basis for the novella Hellraiser: The Toll by Mark Alan Miller in which Barker is credited for the story)

Since he has a story credit on the novella and wrote the source material, I believe it is notable enough for inclusion, but at the same time, after consideration, I worry that emphasising The Toll over Heaven's Reply might be giving undue weight. Dark knight 2149 04:36, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
