A few thoughts on Pinhead

 

The Hellraiser series provided us with plenty of nightmare fuel in its day. However, when I think back to the many epic monologues the Pinhead delivered, his message is one of hope and optimism.

image“We have such sights to show you.”
Pinhead just wants to share the unique sights that his alternate realm have to offer. I am sure this would be an unforgettable experience…

“Your suffering will be legendary, even in Hell.”
While suffering is not ideal, it is a critical part of what defines us as individuals. I think that what Pinhead is really saying here is that while he understands that we all make mistakes that lead to suffering,  Kirsty is a strong and independent woman who can handle more suffering than most.

“Oh no tears please, its a waste of good suffering.”
The job of a Cenobite is likely not an easy one. Someone opens a dimensional portal to “Hell” and maybe then suddenly they want to close it once they have a look. Ever the professional, Pinhead defuses the situation by letting them know that it’s not so bad and it is really not worth crying over. As bad as you are, he has had worse.

So there you go, positive words of wisdom from a guy who has truly been to Hell and back.
