Hellraiser: Deader (also known as Hellraiser VII: Deader) is the seventh installment in the Hellraiser series, directed by Rick Bota. The original script was written by Neal Marshall Stevens who also wrote the script for the 2001 remake of Thirteen Ghosts. However, like the previous two entries in the series, Hellraiser: Inferno and Hellraiser: Hellseeker it began as an unrelated horror spec script, which was rewritten as a Hellraiser film.
