To her dismay, Kirsty found the source of her visions was Frank, who had lured her into his own hell to molest her. Spotting an old photo of Frank on a dresser, Kirsty set fire to it, destroying Frank's image and reducing him to his skinless form.
However, 20 years after her first encounter with the Cenobites, Kirsty agrees to take Pinhead's place in Hell as the Hell Priest after losing everyone she's ever cared about - becoming a Cenobite crafted based on his original style, and the new favorite of Leviathan.
Because Frank didn't actually understand and desire all that Hell was offering. Frank thought he was going to get endless pleasure on his terms. Frank was an amateur, a tourist, a dabbler.
Believing he has indulged in every pleasure the world can offer, Frank pursues rumours of the Lemarchand Configuration, a puzzle box said to open a "schism" or portal to an extradimensional realm of unfathomable pleasure ruled by beings called the Cenobites.
Frank Cotton is the main antagonist of the 1986 horror novella The Hellbound Heart, and its 1987 film adaptation Hellraiser. He serves as a minor antagonist in Hellbound: Hellrasier II. He was portrayed by Sean Chapman.
All the evidence to me shows that Kirsty and Pinhead admire and do to an extent love each other. A kind of Romeo and Juliet thing going on, but even more of a horrific way of being in love.
But when Frank manages to open it during the ceremony and the beings known as Cenobites appear, he discovers that his idea of pleasure and their idea of pleasure are worlds apart. The Cenobites literally rip Frank to pieces and imprison his soul in unending, hellish agony.
Kirsty reappears in Boom! Studios' Hellraiser comic series, set roughly twenty years after the events of the third film. By issue #8, she becomes a Cenobite, a female Pinhead, as the original Pinhead becomes human again.
The original book that it's based on, The Hellbound Heart, was suggestive of a female Pinhead, and the comic books also explored the idea. There's also plenty of fan art, wonderful works that all theorized the possibility of Pinhead as a woman. So it only felt appropriate to us.
The Cenobites are a monastic order in service to their god Leviathan. Leviathan rules an extra-dimensional realm called The Labyrinth. In the movie it is depicted as a giant living Lament Configuration, but presumably a god can take many forms.
Unbeknownst to Larry, Julia had been having an affair with his brother, Frank, behind his back. When they move to America, they move into Frank's old home, where he had been killed by the Cenobites. Julia enjoyed her time with Frank and seems to regret her marriage to Larry.
For a franchise so famous for its kills, Matt's death might be a disappointment to some. The likable brother of Riley is an unfortunate victim of the Cenobites when he is cut by the Lament Configuration. Many expected to see his demise, but his kill is done entirely off-screen.
What did Roland turn into at the end of Hellraiser?
In the final scene, Roland Voight (Goran Višnjić), an incredibly wealthy character, becomes a Cenobite. This ending works because there could be another Hellraiser movie in the future and perhaps Voight would become a villain.
Merkova is one of few cenobites to have a lover, Pinhead, others being Female Cenobite who was also with Pinhead, Alastor and Chalkis and Sculptress and "My Sweet".
Hellraiser has since become a queer horror classic for numerous reasons, according to Riley Wade of Horror Obsessive. The work's gay author/director has been hailed as a master of the counter-cultural “splatterpunk” literary genre.
Freddy is a member of the Cenobite council and the rival of Laughing Jack. He is also the most feared and dreaded enforcer of Zalgo, even more so than Pinhead. Freddy is played by Robert Englund.
After killing J.P. and releasing Pinhead, Terri was turned into the Cenobite known as Dreamer. It was one of the worst Cenobite designs, particularly because Dreamer had no real powers in comparison to her brethren. She was also far more human in appearance than the rest, which didn't add much to her own malevolence.
However, when opposed, the Cenobites were not above using terror to pursue their prey and they were always portrayed as sadomasochistic—meaning that they enjoyed both inflicting pain and receiving pain.
One of the standout effects sequences of Hellraiser is the rebirth of Frank, who after being ripped to pieces by the Cenobites in the recent past, is accidentally revived when his brother spills blood on the floor of the attic where he died.
Frank Cotton, the brother of Larry, is a louche guy who got bored with sex. What does he do? He seeks out a mysterious puzzle box that is the doorway to unheard of pleasures.
