I cant talk about hellraiser with normal people because i will be like "hey fun fact this was based off of a novella clive barker wrote and in it frank was able to be resurrected because he came all over the floor before the Cenobites got him. Also in the book pinhead moans like a girl" mostly unprompted.

Though the Cenobites from Clive Barker's "Hellraiser" film have an iconic black and red look, the original novella describes them as having a "sad, beige" aesthetic.

Making a familiar puzzle box from a wood block and foil tape. This is the second facet I’ve finished, the first was kind of a practice attempt and will either be the bottom side or get redone.

Brb I keep hearing chains rattling upstairs…

Thinking back, Paul couldn't say when it all started, when the unknown began fluttering at the edge of his prescience, teasing him like a flash of bare skin. Perhaps he first felt it when he underwent the agony. It would be fitting, he supposed, that a taste of true suffering would leave him hungry for more. Following this thought to its logical end, he considered that it was the Reverend Mother who'd done this to him, her and that other box of torment so many years ago.

Paul laughed in spite of it all, the sharp corners of the configuration digging into his palms. Perhaps that is all that life is, he mused, a series of mystery boxes, each and every one of them filled with pain.
