We have all loved and admired the fascinating Hellraiser franchise. But how little do we know about the backstories that shaped this Clive Barker classic? The hellish world in the Hellraiser movies has a bloody history that is hundreds of years old, and there is more to it than you can imagine! There have been other cinematic depictions of Hell, and many of them have been quite successful and vivid. However, what we see in Hellraiser is the most unique of them all: a massive labyrinth where the mighty Leviathan resides.
We have feared the Cenobites and Pinhead, but they are merely servants of Leviathan, who is more like the Hellraiser version of Satan. It is this entity that turns people into Cenobites in the first place and Hell is simply full of those unfortunate souls. And at the center of all this evil is the crucial element – the Lament Configuration puzzle.
In this video, we will dig deep into the lore of the Cenobites. We will explain in detail all the backstories surrounding the mysterious puzzle box and the creatures that will give you a new outlook on the Hellraiser narrative!
