Hellraiser

I figured since I'd already mentioned it in my last post, I might as well go into the details. Hellraiser is a film from the 80's about a young girl who's family gets mixed up in some weird multi-dimensional stuff. Her estranged uncle, a major player to put it lightly, finds a mysterious box and becomes obsessed with it. A few minutes into the movie shows him trying to open this puzzle-box and then very mysterious and very bloody images start crossing the screen. At this point no one's really sure what's going on, and no one really questions it until a couple moves into the husband's childhood home. It isn't until much later that the audience is introduced to a wonderful bunch of characters called the Cenobites. And their leader is the lovely gentleman you see to you're right named Pinhead. Good name, huh? And as a fun fact, the guy who plays Pinhead (Doug Bradley) throughout all of the Hellraiser sequels has said that he still gets fan mail from women wanting to carry Pinhead's little demon spawn. Considering the fact that Pinhead and all the other Cenobites have some freaky S&M things going for them, I can potentially see the appeal. Not to mention Pinhead's voice, he's got a really nice deep voice. Other than his screen debut, the Hellraiser series is actually based off a book called The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker. The book is basically the same as the first Hellraiser movie with only a few name changes. But if you don't check out the book, I highly recommend the film. If you know my stance on horror movies, then this one falls into that category very nicely. The effects are gritty and more memorable than modern-day horror flicks.
