Re: The “Hellraiser”/”Space:1999” link

In the classic “The End of Eternity” of “Space:1999” a sexual-sadist invades “Moonbase: Alpha” with the intent of making them his toys. This tall, black-robed figure painted an image of a tortured man with nails driven into his head. Fairly rough stuff for 1975! On the commentary track there is some speculation as to whether a young brittish lad named Clive Barker may have been watching this ITC production. And whether this episode may have served as the springboard for the later “Hellraiser” charactor of pinhead.
