And although the lyrics of the song itself have nothing to do with the Hellraiser films, the official music video features Lermashan's Box, Pinhead, and The Cenobites.
I've heard many fans criticize the film Hellraiser: Judgment (2018) for being "too Christian." In fact, that film explored a complex bureaucratic system between Heaven and Hell and also directly addressed the existence of a Creator God.
However, chronologically, I believe the first time a Creator God was mentioned in the franchise was Clive Barker's Hellraiser #20, published by BOOM! Studios in November 2012.
Plot: Elliott Spencer managed to gain divine powers and, with them, summoned Leviathan to Earth and attempted to destroy him. His plan failed. It was at this moment that Leviathan (yes, it is Leviathan in human form) suddenly began to speak about God.
What really surprised me was how respectfully Leviathan speaks of God. Quite unexpected for a being that rules Hell? Well, usually in the media, some stereotypical Devil hates and despises God, so...
How many Hellraiser-inspired songs do you know?
I'm not talking about movie soundtracks, and I'm not talking about Hellraiser Motorhead (for obvious reasons). I'm talking about random singers or bands using Hellraiser mythology as inspiration for their songs.
A few examples I know:
Lament Code- Demon Lung
Hellraiser - Blitzkid
Hellbound Heart - Stellar Corpses
Dr. Channard - Beborn Beton
No Tears Please - Lesbian Bed Death
Hellbound - Nekromantix
What's Your Pleasure - Wrathchild America
The Lament Configuration - Ravensthorn
I found a cool song whose lyrics are inspired by Hellraiser.
In the Hellraiser: Revival Genesis Configuration Trailer, there was a short scene in which some skinless man punches our protagonist. I saw a lot of comments (including on YouTube) that it might be Uncle Frank. Yeah, I also think it would be cool if the game featured other characters from the films (besides the original four Cenobites), at least as cameos or references. But at the same time, I thought, why does everyone think it's Frank? It could be any other idiot who escaped from hell. And did you see that this character is wearing a white jacket? Julia wore the exact same jacket in the second film! So maybe it's Julia? The scene happens too quickly, and we can't see the attacker's gender.
If you know of any other films or TV series where Lemarchand's box has appeared, please write in the comments.

Did you notice that in the film there's not a single scene where Julia meets the Cenobites? The only scene where they were supposed to be together was when Tiffany opened the box. But at that moment, Julia and Channard were hiding in a secret room and quickly entered the labyrinth undetected by the Cenobites.
If Julia was an agent of Hell, released to Earth by Leviathan's will (unlike Frank, who escaped), why was she hiding from her "colleagues"? I would assume Leviathan gave her a test—to bring Channard, and she had to do it on her own. If Channard was captured by the Cenobites, her mission would be considered a failure.
However, the way Julia behaves in the Labyrinth makes me doubt my theory. She walks through the Labyrinth very relaxed, unafraid of anything or anyone. And let me remind you that besides the Cenobites, other monsters (like the Engineer) can inhabit Hell. So, Leviathan has granted her some kind of immunity so that the Labyrinth's inhabitants won't touch her, and she knows it?
Not to mention how well Julia navigated the Labyrinth - she knew exactly how to find Leviathan, knew where Frank's personal hell was, and easily found Kirsty and Tiffany in the corridors.
And so I want to ask you - why do you think Julia didn't have any interaction with the Cenobites?
Hi everyone. I wanted to ask if there's any information on the size of the Leviathan?
Also, don't you think the Leviathan in the remake is smaller than the Leviathan in Hellbound? I mean, in Hellbound, when Channard and Julia enter the Labyrinth's upper level, the Leviathan doesn't even fit halfway into the frame! Even though we see the Labyrinth from "a bird's-eye view". In the remake, Leviathan is also huge, but given the size of the building it was levitating over, it looks more like a "skyscraper" - huge.

Hi everyone. Until today, I didn't even know this book existed. I've never heard of it. Has anyone read it? How true is it to Hellraiser?
Published by Military Publishing House in 1965.
Artists A.M. Aksamit, L.F. Golovanov, A.A. Gorpenko, A.G. Kruchina, N.I. Pilshchikov, A.M. Stadnik, S.Ya. Yakovlev. During Soviet times, it was common to hang similar posters in educational institutions.
I like the coincidental parallel that both Angelique and Julia ripped out the hearts of men who thought they had power over them.
Hey everyone! A while back, I saw information on imdb that Gary J. Tunnicliffe's script 'Hellraiser: Enter Darkness' was originally chosen for the tenth film in the series, rather than 'Hellraiser: Judgment'. Has anyone seen any information about that script? A more detailed plot, or anything else?
All I know is that Tunnicliffe insisted on making Judgment, so Dimension told him to write the script for Judgment on the condition that if they disliked it, he would direct Enter Darkness without being paid.
Hey everyone! Remember that scene in the third film where Elliott told Joey about his past? There, he called Kirsty his "friend" because she freed him from Hell. Interestingly, the film's script includes a dialogue between Pinhead and J.P. Monroe that doesn't appear in the film. In that scene, Pinhead also called Kirsty his "friend".
It turns out that both of Spencer's personalities felt gratitude towards Kirsty, albeit for different reasons.
Hi guys! Don't you think that in the first two films, Kirsty had a strange connection with dreams? In the first film, she had a nightmare in which she dreamed of her murdered father (as we know, the dream turned out to be prophetic). At the beginning of the second film, she dreamed of Elliot Spencer becoming Pinhead, and later, in Channard's house, she recognizes a photo of Elliot because she had seen him in her dream earlier. Does this mean Kirsty has some kind of "prophetic gift" that allows her to see the future and the past through dreams? Or was something (or someone) sending her these dreams? The movies and comics never explained it, although I can't believe that one person could have two prophetic dreams in just two days and that these were coincidences.
