Clive Barker one of my favourite authors & the creator of Pinhead & Candyman released his creation Hellraiser in 1987 (the year I was born so I was destined to be a horror fan!)
I was lucky enough to find this book randomly on Etsy, I am very happy that it was available and I didn't know that the book was signed by Clive Barker until I started reading the book, so it made me very happy.
Pinhead is on of my favourite iconic characters
(I know Clive Barker refers to Pinhead as “The Black Pope of Hell” or the “Angel of Suffering” but he is otherwise known as Pinhead worldwide now)
I love the artwork, photographs, posters that are used in this book, I'm also very happy that the book is Signed by Clive Barker since I am a big fan of him and his artwork, short stories and films.
Pinhead, the Cenobites are very iconic, recognizable worldwide and they have a lot of fans.
I have always loved the sadomasochistic, gothic, demonic aesthetic that the cenobites have it is very unique and interesting.
I'm curious if the Cenobites would be considered to be interdimensional demons and if Pinhead would rule the realm that the Cenobites exist in or come from when they are summoned with the lament configuration box/puzzle.
In my opinion Pinhead & the Cenobites are either a necessary evil or neutral, in their approach to humanity since Pinhead is considered to be “a angel to some & a demon to others” he is similar to Lucifer. Loved, hated & feared.
The Cenobites represent all your darkest fantasies, dreams, secret desires that you have but would never admit to. They embrace pain, suffering, they endure & enjoy their on pain and suffering and the pain and suffering of others, to enable to metamorphosize themselves and transcend their human limitations to become something more, beyond just being a mere human, and mortal.
It's about enduring pain, suffering to transform, to be reborn, restored, made whole again, so they would be limitless as a human or as a Cenobite, the dream world/nightmare world of humanity has no limit of possibilities for suffering for the Cenobites.
They know what you desire, what you secretly want, what you fear.
The Cenobites are very similar to demons.
As a person that is a submissive, masochist, I can relate to this a lot.
Doug Bradley is one of my favourite actors, I like his narration for horror stories known as Spinechillers.
I wish he would record some more of them and read work written by Edgar Allan Poe or H.P. Lovecraft.
I always loved the dark, nightmarish realm that the Cenobites exist in, i'm not sure if it represents a aspect of Hell but it is very interesting to me.
This was a interesting book to read about the first three Hellraiser films, being made in the series of Hellraiser films and about the creation of Pinhead & the Cenobites by Clive Barker & portrayed by Doug Bradley in the films.
I still want to know more about the female Cenobites, if the Cenobites are immortal or considered to be a demonic Deities/Gods in their realm.
Like a lot of fans of the Hellraiser series I have various questions about Pinhead & the Cenobites. There are various graphic novels which I sadly haven't had the chance to read because they are very rare or hard to find now, but I have read The Hellbound Heart, which I liked and read in one day.
Hopefully more books about the Hellraiser films will be published about the making of the films, the creation of more male & female Cenobites in the future.
I would love to read the Hellraiser graphic novels, I wish they were reprinted and sold in a updated collection in hardcover that would great.
