To me Hellraiser is the quintessential horror movie. Not, I hasten to add, my favourite. But if I were to suggest a type specimen for the species “horror movies,” Hellraiser would be among the first I thought of. Pinhead is instantly recognizable of course, and could hardly be mistaken for cuddly. You also have a mix of lust and pain which makes an excellent foundation for horror. And the question, what happens when your search for new experiences takes you too far? And importantly for the typical horror movie, it spawned a seemingly endless line of sequels.
