Clive Barker is a sweetheart of a man - a real fan favorite for good reason ..
but despite owning everything he's done - i'm not a big fan.
i like the direction gaiman is going a lot better then the one Clive took.
like stephen king - his latter novels are pretty much just bloated excess as far as I'm concerned.
Books of Blood were great - i think he's better off with short stories. less room to meander.
as far as redoing hellraiser ... i'm one of the few people who bitch about remakes - but i think a bit more time should be put between the origional and the remake.
if the origional still holds the power - and is still fresh in the minds of the fans (the sequels are still coming out) - it seems like an ill timed idea that will mostly miss the intended mark of exposing new fans to the hellraiser series
