IMO, the best thing about Leviathan is how removed its form from anything that could be considered sensual, being just a stone monolith, that reveals hidden desires, while floating so high in the air

One of the best lines I think in Hellbound is “”Ah Kirsty, so eager to play, so reluctant to admit it”

Fun fact: Kentaro Miura's Berserk based the Godhand and Behelits after the Cenobites and Puzzle Boxes respectively.

I love the fact he redid these videos.
The fact you cared enough to put this kind of effort in is amazing and I appreciate it greatly

[ResidentEvilWiz]

I find the cenobites being morally grey and neutral fascinating. As they’ve been shown protecting innocence and punishing people too. It’s something I find incredibly fascinating

[igormorais]

They arent evil. If you fear oblivion, they are angels, providing you with infinite overwhelming stimulation forever. They are the angels of the anti-nirvana, eternal everythingness.

Pinhead was one of few horror villains that actually gave me the creeps in the 80s. If anyone is evil, this is the one. Thanks for the great content as usual

I liked that you called out the later Hellraiser movies for being bad lol. One of the most frustrating things about the contract Clive Barker had with the movie studio was that they basically renewed their control as long as they made a movie periodically within a set time frame. Thankfully he did regain control in 2020.

I love the line “I have such sights to show you” because not only is it just ominous, but coming from pinhead it’s literally the worst thing ever. Like “oh great what does Mr. Ripped up nipples nail head want to show me”. It is the absolute worst case scenario for hearing that sentence. The only way I could hear that and be equally as upset as pinhead telling that to me would be if a guard was telling me that outside of aushwitz.

The details this time is insane! And you did not ignore the inferior sequels (their bad qualities are legendary even in horror sequel genres) This IS the definitive cover on Pinhead! Well done!

[antonkovalenko]

The Hell Priest has always been a favorite for me *because* of the intelligence and eloquence that separates him from his cinematic peers. Great episode!

[TheRealBatCave]

How bout covering Randall Flagg?? Any Stephen King fans up in here?? Happy Halloween. "Baby can you dig yo man, well baby can you?

[E_Crypto]

Ever notice that the shape of the Leviathan in Hellraiser resembles a cross encased in a solid shape? A diamond-shaped structure that controls Hell.

[SuperSoundtracksEX]

As a nice little addendum, the cover for “Book of The Damned” was done by Simon Bisley. Simon’s art is most famously known for being associated with Heavy Metal Magazine, the comic Lobo, Judge Dredd, ABC Warriors and a number of Danzig album covers.

[seanbrazell]

This character was played - in true Emporer Palpatine fasion by a young actor so that even decades later he seems to have aged not a day. LOVED it!

[preppertrucker]

Pinhead: you’re suffering will be legendary even in hell 💀💀

[alexandru]

The Cenobites are one of the rare times you can say a group is literally "just doing their jobs" and not being a cover for doing evil things. It really is their purpose. Methods are bad but goal is not. Heck, as shown first movie shows Pinhead is willing too negotiate

[JustTooDamnHonest]

Hellraisers 1 & 2 are masterclasses of special/practical effects, make up and horror.

The Vile Eye Rules!

I absolutely adore Hellraiser! For me PERSONALLY Frank and Julia are the real villains of the first movie. The sly cheating wife and the creepy deviant dog dick uncle. These two characters are even creepier through the eyes of poor Kirsty. And these people exist in abundance unlike cenobites.
