Clive Barker *hates* the name Pinhead, which is the name the movie gave to the Hell Priest. In the second book, a character mocked the Priest, by calling him Pinhead. That character then brutally killed 😂

Fun Fact; Doug Bradley applied for the film Hellraiser as one of the mattress movers. Good thing he didn't get THAT job!

Everyone complains about how you can see the wheels of the stroller pushing the creature down the hallway, but people forget that in the book that creature (called the Engineer) has its body melted and attached by the nerves to a wheeled machine. There's a part of the book that is not shown in the movie that describes the tortures Frank goes through in the hands of the Cenobites and it tells how Frank hears the wheels of the creature coming down the hallway with a new torture device everyday. I don't know if they intended to show that in the movie or it's a production mistake, but ironically it ends up being more accurate to the book, cos the creature actually has wheels.

Actually the creature (engineer) in the book is quite different from the movie, I'm just finishing reading the book and the engineer was described as a humanoid sitting on a throne of decaying heads.

You've both got it wrong! 🤣 The one sitting on the skulls is from the first group of cenobites. The engineer appears near the end of the book and is like a person with light for a head or something (it's kind of unclear).

I've been waiting for this one! One of the best horror movies of all time IMO, between the practical effects and the Cenobite designs it's just iconic! The series as a whole kind of sucks but the first two films are fantastic.

Interesting, I didn’t enjoy the second film at all. Recently watched the third and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The gooey Frank effects are amazing! Would love you see you guys react to the 2nd one!

26:28 When Pinhead said "We want the man who did this" Kristy refused. It is possible that the cenobites now considered the deal broken. At least that is a possible explanation.

This film was, and remains, a brilliant piece of work. Given the obstacles and odds of even getting the film made with limited support this turned out to be one of my all-time favorite horrors ever released.

You can thank composer Christopher Young for why the music is so good. It has this kind of bombastic yet has this romantic gothic horror vibe here. Sometimes I listen to orchestral horror music to help me sleep. Its amazing!

The way I described it to my friend was “Oh good god it sounds like we’re going to Hell. Or at the very least, this is gonna be some kind of religious experience.”

Saw this for the first time when I was 14 years old back in 1989. Been one of my favourite horror movies ever since. For me Julia is the real star of the movie. I really liked the scene where she stands in front of the bathroom mirror and looks directly into the camera while washing off the blood. Very disturbing imagery throughout the entire movie.

Clive Barker just got the right back in December 2021 , by court order , after Helraiser 3 , rest were not originally even Hellraiser movies , studio just took some script they had , put pinhead in it and called it Hellraiser to keep the rights ... shitty move , but film studios did it all the time .

@@BRIDGECO1 The Cenobites are basically Priests of HELL... They're also known as Guardians of the Puzzle boxes. The Lament Configuration (the box) is one of 150 different intricately designed puzzle boxes known as Pandorices. Each box has a specific Guardian attached to it, and each one opens up a gate to HELL. I sent you a link

As far as the last 20 seconds... the "guardian" of the puzzle box is now trying to find another sucker/victim - someone else like Frank Cotton. The subtitle for the film, as per the woman who played Julia, was "Who’s a girl gotta kill to get laid?" The combination of sex and horror was well-mixed, to my thought. It made things very disturbing - which was the point of the exercise. I think you will thoroughly enjoy HELLRAISER 2: HELLBOUND.

The job of the thing disguised as the hobo is to protect the puzzle boxes so they can keep offering them to people. The box senses people with dark desires and drags them to the Cenobites hell that tests the limits between pain and pleasure and some taken there become Cenobites themselves.

The hobo-dragon-man thing is called Eremite. Eremites are the guardians of the puzzle box. They are also Leviathan's emisarries, luring hapless souls to hell.

Apparently the last few minutes of the movie were where they ran out of budget. I love that the cenobites aren't really the villains of the movie.

Hellraiser is one of the most disturbing movies of all time on so many levels. The concept and theme was just so dark, twisted, evil, sick, brutal, explicit, graphic, violent, bloody, gory, and sadistic as you will cringe or squirm as it will make your skin crawl 😰😱 which works perfectly for the movie. It also identifies and analyzes the boundaries between pleasure and pain. It was decent. To this day I still watch it and I consider it a classic. It never gets old.😍😎💯👍

One of my all time favorites!!! Saw this in the theater when I was in high school...yes i am old. And for the time it was awesome to see this kind of violence and gore with people in a theater. People were shocked

Hello from Ontario Canada as a Huge Hellraiser Pinhead fan I believe that that the Hellraiser Franchise are the most Underated movies in the history of horror cinema and Pinhead is the most Underated horror Character of all horror characters .

Obey Frank. He's opened a door for You.

One of my favorite horror movies. saw it when i was fifteen ... ;-)

The special effects when the cenobites were banished looked kinda corny but how they were achieved is kinda cool. I believe Clive Barker hand drew them himself.

Definitely top 5 horror franchises of all time hands down. I would definitely watch at least the first 3, if not the first 6. Oh what the hell am I saying watch them all. I wouldn't recommend what I did where I watched all of them in one sitting. Talk about feeling disturbed afterwards. Can't wait for the new one or reboot whatever it is but either way can't wait.

Around 26:00 is when I walked out of the movie theater. I was a teenager & found out I wasn't into gory horror. The hooks 🤢🤮

I first got to see this a teen in the year 2000 and i remember suddenly asking my gf at the time to hold my hand ( i think it was when the Jesus statue falls down on Julia ) LOL she burst out laughing but she had seen it before . This video got me laughing . Though i do think it is a very disturbing movie for someone that sees it for the first time.

I would say part 2 and 3 to watch. 2 was gory as hell. Makes the first look like a call walk. Gets more to the origin of the cenobites.

If this movie rattles you, then you definitely won't survive the books - The Hellbound Heart and Scarlet Gospels 😂

Scarlet Gospels are shit and The Hellbound Heart comes across much tamer than the movie.

I mean, as far as the sequels go, these go fast off the track from being an interesting and an effective new concept, to just being Bondage Freddy Krueger on the bad kind of coke. I feel like all of the movies (and there's like 12 or so by now, not counting the reboot?) are worth a single viewing, as long as you go in with kind of a The Room-mindset. Don't expect horror. Don't expect revelations. Just go to see the effects and wet puppets, because there's diminishing returns. If you haven't already watched them you might enjoy Night Breed, Dark City, and maaaaybe the 1995 The Prophecy? Puppet Masters, Subspecies, and Phantasmagoria movies are kind of a given.

I always enjoy sharing the original novella by Clive Barker. It's like "The Snyder Cut" of the film. Frank's opening death takes like 20 minutes kzread.info/dash/bejne/nKl82JWTh7jdcrw.html

It's a little hard to believe Pinhead doesn't have a spot on your arm.

This room looks like it's burnt down 😂

There is no ''dated'' or ''corny'' movie, there is just the wrong time watching it.

Take It from someone who loves these movies, watch the first three, they are all good, and go together nicely. The fourth, bloodline, is interesting, and ok, but slow and not as good.
