Doug Bradley in Hellraiser (1987)

FAQ

Hellraiser

FAQ



    Frank's hedonism and amorality drove him to seek pleasures of all sorts that caused him to find many Earthly delights mundane. He heard through the underbelly that the box offered the ultimate pleasure, and sought it. Hellraiser II, which has a story credit for Clive Barker, heavily implies that the vendor is knowingly connected to the cenobites. Hence, the vendor might have given Frank the box for nothing, if the situation dictated.



    In the UK, this classic horror movie at first received a shortened VHS release by Cinema Club as well as New World Video. All cuts were waived for the DVD/Blu-ray versions.
