Hellraiser: the film, the story, and (some of) the sequels

In 1986, a novella called The Hellbound Heart was published. It was published by a company called Dark Harvest in an anthology series called Night Visions. It pretty much would have came and went all by itself under these circumstances, but its author, Clive Barker, somehow managed to put together enough financing to shoot a film adaptation that was released the following year.
