Day 9, What is your pleasure sir?

As the old saying goes, better the devil you know. Horror movie fans had grown comfortable with the red horns, the brimstone, the fire, and the damnation. In 1987 Clive Barker’s Hellraiser ripped the movie screen to bloody ribbons. When the puzzle box was solved, Pinhead appeared promising untold ecstasy and exquisite pain to his victims and surpassing box office expectations.

With it’s sadomasochistic inspired imagery Pinhead and his Cenobites were a shot of adrenaline into the heart of horror devotes’ the world over. The movie spawned 6 sequels, a comic book series, action figures, and all manner of fetish clothing. If you ever see an annoying pale 21year old in a floor length leather dress, you have no one to blame but Clive Barker.
