30th Nov 2025 | Guest News

We’re pleased to announce that Oliver Smith will be joining us at Horror Con Scotland on April 11, 2026, at the SEC Glasgow.

Oliver is best known for his unforgettable roles in Hellraiser (1987) and Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988), two films that helped define modern British horror. As a key part of the Hellraiser legacy, his performances played an important role in bringing Clive Barker’s nightmarish vision to life, contributing to the unsettling atmosphere, visceral imagery, and enduring impact of the franchise. Decades on, these films remain landmarks of horror cinema, revered by fans around the world.

The Hellraiser films are celebrated for their bold mythology, iconic Cenobites, and uncompromising approach to horror, and Oliver’s work sits firmly within that legacy. His involvement in both films places him at the heart of a franchise that continues to influence horror filmmakers and audiences to this day, with its blend of dark fantasy, body horror, and philosophical terror.

More recently, Oliver appears in a new documentary exploring the history and creation of the Hellraiser films. The documentary offers fans a deeper look behind the scenes, uncovering how the films were made, the creative challenges faced by the team, and the lasting cultural impact of the franchise. For anyone fascinated by Cenobite lore and the origins of one of horror’s most distinctive worlds, it’s essential viewing.

We’re delighted to welcome Oliver to Horror Con Scotland and give fans the chance to meet someone who helped shape one of the most iconic horror series ever put to screen. If Hellraiser left its mark on you, this is a guest appearance not to be missed.
