Peter Atkins spends the working day as a screenwriter working in the part of the industry that stays out of frame. The film 'Hellbound: Hellraiser II' is the credit that gets cited first. Elsewhere on the record sits 'Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth'. It started in 1988, at the age of 33. Horror keeps recurring across the credit list. The output is more consistent than it is loud.
