you go to hell with the cenobites but it's just like a new hottie entering love island

Imagine the Female Cenobite liking you enough to sew up her own throat after guessing you’re not into it.

Is it just me, or does the amount of nails in the Hell Priest's head change? For example, in the third film it appears as if he has so many more than any other film I've seen. At least, when he's stuck in the statue.

I don't think it's just you, there seem to be slight differences to the pattern and number of his nails from movie to movie after the first two. Perhaps the Doylist explanation is that the make-up teams weren't the same from film to film, and had to go off of notes taken or something instead of having prior artists instruct them on the make-up? Not sure there.

The Watsonian explanation, iirc, is that the number of nails in the Hell Priest's head directly correlate to their power. Don't quote me for certain on that, I've only just finished collecting the 2010 comics and I hope to read them this year, despite my apprehension and disdain for what I've heard about that run. But I do feel like I recall seeing something from the comics that more or less nods to this being the case? So perhaps the retroactive lore here is that the level of his power changes over time and more nails are added to reflect this? (Which would make sense, given he's referred to as "Leviathan's favored son".)

As I keep acquiring more, LeMarchand's boxes continue to astound and confound me...

Perhaps you can solve the puzzle?

SUMMARY: Kirsty is brought to an institution after the horrible events of Hellraiser (1987), where the occult-obsessive head doctor resurrects Julia and unleashes the Cenobites and their demonic underworld.

Mod Sus: It's hard to say wheter I like this or the first movie better, both are really good. The scene with bugs is one big part of my horror brain now and I've used it as inspiration for OC scene. Body horror and gore in this one, like with first movie, is *chef's kiss*

okay okay so i found more evidence to back up my asexual kirsty cotton theory.

i was rewatching some of kirsty's scenes and i noticed something.

so for a little bit of asexual history, ace people used to wear a black ring on their middle finger to show other ace people that they're ace without saying it out loud.

(see!!)

and throughout the first film kirsty is seen wearing only one ring on either hand.

now, obviously as i said before, it has to be a black ring. but the term asexual was coined in the late 1980s, and with hellraiser being set in 1987, the term was still a new thing, which means that the significance of the color of the ring is not as important as it would become later.

so that means, to me at least, that kirsty is asexual!
