5 Creepiest Bartenders In Horror Movies

3. Rick (Peter Atkins) - Hellraiser 3

Hellraiser 3's sleazy club owner J.P Monroe (Kevin Bernhardt) has no morals, no class and no taste in art, but he does have a good eye for hiring staff. Take Rick the barman for example (played by the movie's writer Peter Atkins). Dapper Rick dresses the part in bow tie and waistcoat, and mixes drinks with a magician's flair (eat your heart out Tom Cruise) all while keeping a steady supply of roses on ice to help his boss woo any customers who might take his fancy.

After being slain by the demonic Pinhead, Rick is reborn as "Barbie" the Cenobite, bursting onto screen through a brick wall like The Incredible Hulk. Clad in traditional Cenobite leather garb, with his freshly-shorn head bound by barbed wire, Barbie joins two more newborn Cenobites to wreak havoc on the streets outside the Boiler Room nightclub.

Armed with his trusty drink shaker and a new fire-breathing ability, Barbie mixes a unique recipe for a Molotov cocktail which he uses to incinerate two intervening police officers. Before anyone else can get a round in, our killjoy heroine Joey (Terry Farrell) solves the cursed Lemarchand puzzle box, banishing Barbie to Hell where one can assume he is currently serving overpriced beverages to his fellow Cenobites.
