10 Most Messed Up Horror Movie Monsters
7. The Cenobites - Hellraiser (1987)
“Demons to some, angels to others” is how Pinhead, leader of the Cenobites, describes his motley crew.
Which side of the fence you sit on depends on your sadomasochistic tendencies.
The Cenobites are deep into the fetish scene. All that black leather and bodily mutilation. Pinhead has a fully acupunctured bonce. The female has her throat pried open in an overtly sexual shape. They all have some sort of leaking or gaping wound proudly on display. And they’re keen to take us away from this dimension to their realm of torture.
Hellraiser explores the darkest desires of us humans. The link between pleasure and pain, sex and death. Even as Uncle Frank (Sean Chapman) is torn apart by the Hooks from Hell, he can’t help but lick his lips. What a perv.
