Growing up, Hellraiser was one of our favorite scary film series. The horror movies were gory and campy and goth. Then the jumped the shark and went to space.
But, at least for the three movies, it was hard to look away from Cliver Barker’s ghoulish Cenobites. Even as they tore their victims apart or committed other gruesome acts once someone opened the dangerous puzzle box. (And you thought LEGOs could be a pain.)
Hulu just released what might be the first good Hellraiser film in 30 years, complete with seven Cenobites. Longtime fans and newcomers are taking to Twitter to post memes and tweets about the horror movie starring trans actress Jamie Clayton as the first female Pinhead / Hell Priest.
Here’s the best ones we’ve seen so far.
