Welcome to the HC website!
We've been practically bringing it back from the dead since 2022, and we've come along nicely, but please be patient.
There are still a few pages under construction, but we're working hard to fill it to the brim with up-to-date information.
It basically has two sections: * Heavenly Creatures * (about the fantastic 1994 Peter Jackson movie) * Parker/Hulme case * (about the murder case this movie was based upon)
Each of the sections has its own menu.
You can always come back here by clicking on the red 'HC'-logo top-left.
And you can easily switch between the two sections using the links in the footer of every page.
