Pinhead from Clive Barker's Hellraiser |
Did you read that last paragraph and ask yourself, "Who is Pinhead?" I saw "Hellraiser" when I was about 13 or 14 years old, and it was by far the scariest, most disturbing horror movie I had ever seen. A ridiculously short summary of the plot (my interpretation) of a Hellraiser movie is this: There's a cube-shaped puzzle that if solved opens the gates of hell. The Cenobites (one of whom is Pinhead), these weird S/M demons or guardians of sorts, are hell-bent (I couldn't not use this pun) on keeping the puzzle solvers in hell and inflicting some very serious pain on them. Maybe this movie has nothing on movies like "Saw," but I wouldn't know. Hellraiser pretty much kept me from watching anything more than the tame average horror flick. I do regret watching "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" with a heaping plate of spaghetti when I was in college and later watching the remake of "Dawn of the Dead" when I was pregnant with Josie, but few movies can compare to Hellraiser. And this seems like a very appropriate spider for the season (if you're not all about Indian corn, smiley-faced scarecrows, and candy corn window clings). For some, Halloween isn't just one day a year.
