>>5767477>>5767848>>5767852Ask Pinhead, why is it that in the early novels Clive Barker (who is himself a homosexual author, and once worked as a male prostitute) made the Cenobites transgender (or at least androgynous) yet in the original films Pinhead was portrayed deliberately male; but then when the Hulu remake film cast an actual transgender actress as Pinhead, Clive Barker decided to embrace the masculinity of the lead Cenobite making him canonically male again, only to just definitively kill off the character in the very same novel? Is the horrifying loss of control upon opening the Lemarchand Box and the Lament Configuration symbolic of Clive Barker surrendering control and authorial rights over his most popular (yet inaccurately depicted) fictional creation to a series of low budget film adaptations? Are Cenobites an ironic portrayal of the manifestation of the transgender movement upon society? Why is the Hulu remake a generic American teen slasher film, and inferior in artistic imagining to even a fanmade short film found on youtube? Is Pinhead really an arch hell-priest of dismemberment, gore mutilation and ecstatic flesh torture or just an amateur Chinese acupuncturist?
Also I recommend all anons play the videogame Clive Barker's Undying instead, it essentially has all of the similar horror themes of Hellraiser except it is actually fun. A better film which captures the feel of Hellraiser novels would be the horror film Angel Heart (1987) with Robert de Niro and Mickey Rourke, it has nothing to do with Clive Barker but I remember the atmosphere of investigative occult being very similar
