6. Channard Cenobite - Hellbound: Hellraiser II

Hellraiser is about to reach its tenth instalment in 2017, which is depressing since it’s been going straight to DVD since part four. Poor Pinhead has been turned from an otherworldly being into a plush toy, and any power he had to terrify is long gone.

One Cenobite who managed to escape this with their dignity is Dr Channard, the weird psychiatrist who wanted to know what hell was like and got a first class lesson. His makeover turned him into the most powerful demon in the series, even to the point where he slays Pinhead and his demon buddies.

It’s the combination of actor Ken Cranham’s performance, the unnerving make-up and the raspy voice that makes the Channard Cenobite so freakish. Thankfully, the character’s death in the finale ruled him out of future sequels. For now, at least.

Handsome. Charismatic. Intelligent. Noble. Witty. I'm none of these things, but I'm a half decent writer, I guess.
