10 Best Number 3s In Horror Movie History

Everyone's favourite Cenobite, Pinhead, returns once more in this 1992 flick. Now imprisoned in a stone pilar, Pinhead manipulates an arrogant nightclub owner into setting him free, whilst a plucky report attempts to stop him.

Hell on Earth does a great job in building on the character of Pinhead, particularly after the revelation in Hellraiser II that he used to be human.

Pinhead's human form, World War I soldier Captain Elliot Spencer, contacts protagonist Joey Summerskill throughout the movie, using his insight into the demon to help her defeat him.

As well as some strong character development, Hellraiser III is all chockful of blood, guts, and gore. Pinhead's trademark hooked chains make mincemeat out of several people in the film, which will more than satisfy any viewer's bloodlust.

The film was viewed as being "more commercial" than previous Hellraiser films, something that was applauded and criticised in equal measures. Either way, Hellraiser III is a marked improvement on its predecessor and a really good watch.

Also, it gave the world Motorhead's version of the song "Hellraiser", so it deserves all the praise in the world.
