How would you feel if Pinhead was the new killer?

Gameplay is the real deal breaker here, doesn't matter who it is as long as it's fun for both sides.

I like him, and the movies, but he doesn't really fit. He's not a killer than runs around killing people.

I mean, I am relatively open to new characters as long as they are fun and not too goofy

I havent watch a single episode of stranger things and yet Demo is my main :,)

Really hope not. Never saw the movies and dont care to. Of all the theories this and pennywise are bottom of the list. Really hoping cote was purposely trolling and not serious with that hint the night before the livestream. They've actually been so good about not leaking anything, to have cote of all people spill the beans this late would be rediculous.

So the cenobites are just the supernatural embodiments of S&M?

There's no soul collecting? No chasing after evil sorcerers who thought they could get away with making a deal with the devil?

Hellraiser is just about some nonhuman perverts scaring human perverts?

Well, my interest in a Hellraiser chapter, and in the movies, just died.

"This new chapter will feature a classic license, one that has marked the world of horror since its inception."

I bring this quote up again and again. The 1989 film is based on a 1986 novella by Clive Barker. Maybe to some zoomers out there that was pre-industrial age, but in the grand scheme of horror fiction and even film, that's a very late entry.

So maybe BHVR doesn't know their horror history - or it's a typo because of a language barrier or whatnot, but if this statement is correct - there is virtually no chance of it being Pinhead, Pennywise or Candyman. Xenomroph would be the most plausible but still a big stretch. You have to look back further into licenses that start to fall into public domain. This raises new questions of course but it's something to consider. Frankenstein's Monster in the likeness of Boris Karloff while being a really uninteresting killer, would be the only killer I could think of that would fit the bill of being licensed AND there from the beginning. There are so many possibilities but it has a bigger shot than I'd have ever thought.

I would prefer someone else for this specific chapter since it's been hyped so much, but I would still love him in the game

why is having a sorcerer a deal breaker lol

Who you callin' Pinhead?

Jokes aside, I'd be alright with it. Personally I'd be excited for Candyman or Jason the most, but I'd be cool with anybody as long as the power is good and they don't make the character into an actual joke just for them to be able to fit in the game

My initial reaction would be a little disappointed, but that’s mainly because my expectations have been built up to hopes of Jason or something completely out of nowhere and mind blowing like Jack Torrance. After that feeling fades, I’d be fine with Pinhead. It could be worse. Of all the names most talked about, Candyman would be the legit letdown, or something like Pyramid head would be awful.

Everyone has a preference.

My first choice is Jason, and Pinhead is my second.

Now I understand there is a lot of younger players who aren't familiar with Pinhead or the Hellraiser films. Pennywise is obviously a big favourite because he's been exposed to a modern audience in a popular reboot. Pinhead hasn't.

If we get Pinhead, I will be pleased but disappointed that it's not Jason.

My third choice is Maniac Cop...and that ain't happening! 🤭

The sorcerer isn't the dealbreaker; the fact that it's more about sexual gratification via pain and less about eldritch horrors from hell and the perils of tampering with the occult is.

I probably just had it inaccurately explained to me.

A friend, who encouraged me to watch it, gave me a brief summary of the story by saying some sorcerer tries to one up some demons he's summoned by sacrificing the souls of others so he doesn't have to lose his, and Pinhead tries to catch him.

I didn't watch it, because I didn't think a horror movie where both the protagonist is as bad as the antagonist would be too enjoyable.

If it's mostly just about sex though, I can understand why my friend toned it down\made it vague in description (I'm a bit of a prude).

I would be happy.

Please don't be Pennywise🙏

Lmao. Just know someone will put that Patrick star's picture up here.

And torture porn. The Hellraiser franchise has interesting lore and psychological aspects that could be explored, but they're wasted on making torture porn cash-grabs for people who just want to see big blood splatters.

I agree they could of really made something of the franchise as it progressed. There were some interesting paths to go down...but instead it was just nonsense.

Hyped, he’s the best character not in the game except Jason
