10 Most Brutal Slasher Movie Killers

(First appearance: Hellraiser - 1987)

"We'll tear your soul apart!" is Pinhead's most famous line in the entirety of the Hellrasier franchise, and sweet mother Mary does it make the spine tingle.

The only issue is that it's not entirely accurate, as Pinhead and the rest of his horrendously homicidal cenobite squad also tend to leave a little scar tissue on the skin (or lack thereof at some points) each and every time someone is unfortunate enough to stumble onto "The Lament Configuration," which is this franchise's catalyst for summoning the quintessence of Hell itself.

The concept of Hell on Earth alone is enough to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand firmly at attention, but this only gets worse with the realisation of the level of sadomasochism present in the plethora of erotic references. Scantily put together bondage suits and the chains emerge from the aforementioned "Lament configuration," tearing the skin from unsuspecting victims.

In tandem, this creates some of the most over the top bondage inspired gore porn with the initial death of the series (Larry) baking and taking the cake - setting the precedent for kills that have yet to come.
