![]() ![]() IGN For Men: How did you initially fall into the director's chair? I mean the only other modern day, ultra popular author I can think of who has written and directed at least three films is Michael.Ĭlive Barker: Michael Crichton, right. ![]() What follows is Part 1 of a 2-part interview with Clive Barker, the man whom Stephen King once referred to as 'the future of horror.' While that phrase may still ring with some truth, Clive also reveals himself to be more than just a creator of horror fiction, but rather a master of the fantastique. Few men who have mastered as many of the arts as Clive Barker would be so humble. When I casually referred to Clive as a renaissance man, he laughed, then immediately remarked how that moniker was rather pretentious. While those two works would have been enough to quell most artist's desires, Barker has continued to crank out imaginative fiction, work on films, delve into the world of art (both sketches and paintings), and erotica. Barker next subjected the American movie going public to his inter-dementia flesh reconfigurations in the now classic horror film Hellraiser. Barker exploded onto the America literary market some 15 years ago with his exotic, viscerally gripping three volume set of the Books of Blood. ![]()
