FAQs

Is Hellraiser 1987 inappropriate? ›

Parents need to know that Hellraiser is extremely gory. Killing and mutilating befalls both humans and animals (rats), with bloody death by knife, hammer, and hooks. Nightmare imagery includes a vampire-like man without skin cannibalizing others to regenerate, and the cyborg-like demons called cenobites.

Nude monsters and Creepy killers, NO THANKS!

Very inappropriate for children 17 and under. You can see a bunch of nude monsters in Pinhead's chamber trying to kill people as well. ACK!

I have yet to see Bloodline or Inferno, but Hell on Earth is the worst of the first three Hellraiser movies. It lacks both the wit and the sheer terror of the first two films.

Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth is a 1992 American supernatural horror film and the third installment in the Hellraiser film series. It was directed by Anthony Hickox and stars Terry Farrell, Paula Marshall, Kevin Bernhardt, and Doug Bradley.

Clive Barker's 1987 film, Hellraiser, is inherently queer because it draws its aesthetics from the gay leather scene that he was a part of. Gay leather bars were born out of gay motorcycle clubs. Gay men would hang out in these clubs in their moto gear of Levi jeans and leather hats, boots, jackets, and chaps.

It was banned because of its "brutal, graphic violence with blood-letting throughout, horror, degradation and torture".

In Hellraiser (2022), a reboot of the series, Pinhead is portrayed by Jamie Clayton, the first time a woman took on the role. In the film, Pinhead leads the other Cenobites after Riley and other humans progress through the configurations of the Lament Configuration.

The original book that it's based on, The Hellbound Heart, was suggestive of a female Pinhead, and the comic books also explored the idea. There's also plenty of fan art, wonderful works that all theorized the possibility of Pinhead as a woman. So it only felt appropriate to us.

Is Pinhead Broken or Pure Evil? No way is Pinhead pure evil. He literally saved a innocent girl who was about to killed by her father and you can argue him broken since he suffered from a lot of PTSD and was forced to turn into a cenobite after he got taken to hell when he solved the puzzle box.

Hellraiser: Deader (also known as Hellraiser VII: Deader) is a 2005 American supernatural horror film and the seventh installment in the Hellraiser series.

What is Hellraiser 8 called? ›

Hellraiser: Hellworld (also known as Hellraiser VIII: Hellworld) is a 2005 supernatural horror film directed by Rick Bota. It is the eighth installment in Hellraiser series.

Hellraiser: Revelations is a 2011 British-American horror film written by Gary J. Tunnicliffe and directed by Víctor Garcia. It is the ninth film in the Hellraiser film series.

Numerous characters are accidentally/deliberately stabbed with blades that protrude from the puzzle box. Blood and small open wounds from the trauma is often shown. Wires are summoned by a cenobite, wrapping around the face, throat and arms of a male victim, pinning him face-up against a platform.

Described by Doug Bradley as stronger than Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers, Pinhead is an extremely powerful being with supernatural abilities. His preferred method of attack is to summon hooks and chains that mutilate victims, often tearing them apart.

We always knew that [a female Pinhead] made sense given the history of the franchise and the kinds of fans that have embraced it,” Bruckner says. “It was also a way for us to not replicate Doug Bradley's incredible, iconic performance. There had been a lot of precedent in the franchise.

If you describe someone as a hell-raiser, you mean that they often behave in a wild and unacceptable way, especially because they have drunk too much alcohol. [informal]
