Written and directed by Clive Barker, and based on his 1986 novella, The Hellbound Heart, Hellraiser is a twisted horror movie, about a mystical puzzle box. In the movie, the puzzle box is said to open a doorway to a realm of pleasure (overseen by the mysterious Cenobites), and it becomes the centrepiece in a tale about passion, murder, and bloody resurrection.
If you’ve watched Hellraiser, you’ll know how deliciously dark and gruesome the movie is. You’ll also be more than aware of its creepy characters, its status as a cult horror film, and its sinister lines.
And this is the focus of this post: The best lines from Hellraiser. Below you will find all the killer quotes from this iconic horror movie, which gave the world the likes of Frank, Julia, and of course, the lead Cenobite himself, Pinhead.

Pinhead – “No time for argument.”
Kirsty Cotton – “You’ve done this before, right?”
Pinhead – “Many, many times.”
Kirsty Cotton – “To… to a man called Frank Cotton?”
Female Cenobite – “Oh, yes.”
Kirsty Cotton – “He escaped you!”
Pinhead – “Nobody escapes us!”
Kirsty Cotton – “He did! I’ve seen him, I’ve seen him! He’s alive!”
Pinhead – “Supposing he had escaped us, what has that to do with you?”
Kirsty Cotton – “I… I can… I can lead you to him! And you… you can take him back instead of me!”
Female Cenobite – “Perhaps we prefer you!”
__
Kirsty Cotton – “Who are you?”
Pinhead – “Explorers, in the further regions of experience. Demons to some, angels to others.”
__
Pinhead – “We want the man who did this.”
Kirsty Cotton – “No. No, that wasn’t the deal. He’s my father and you can’t have him. NO!”
__
Pinhead – “We have such sights to show you!”
__
Kirsty Cotton – “Don’t… don’t touch me. Don’t touch me, or so help me, I…”
Frank the Monster – “What’ll you do? What can you do? There’s nothing to be afraid of. Bet you make your daddy so proud. Don’t you, beautiful?”
Kirsty Cotton – “This isn’t happening.”
Frank the Monster – “I used to tell myself that. Used to try and pretend I was dreaming all the pain. But don’t you kid yourself. Some things have to be endured. And that’s what makes the pleasures so sweet!”
__
Kirsty Cotton – “Please! Go! Go away and leave me alone!”
Pinhead – “Oh, no tears, please. It’s a waste of good suffering!”

Larry – “I thought this kind of stuff made you sick?”
Julia – “I’ve seen worse.”

Pinhead – “I want to hear him confess, himself. Then maybe… maybe.”
Female Cenobite – “But if you cheat us…”
Pinhead – “We’ll tear your soul apart!”
__
Moving Man 2 – “That your daughter?”
Larry – “Uh-huh.”
Moving Man 2 – “Got her mother’s looks.”
Larry – “Her mother’s dead.”
Moving Man 2 – “Oh.”
__
Kirsty Cotton – “Oh, my God! Daddy. Daddy!”
Frank – “No, don’t mourn him. He was dead long before we ever touched him.”
Kirsty Cotton – “Bastard!”
Frank – “Oh, hush now. Everything’s all right. Frank’s here.”
__
Frank – “Stay with us. We can all be happy here.”
Kirsty Cotton – “No…”
Frank – “Come to daddy.”
Kirsty Cotton – “Oh, my God.”
Frank – “Come… to daddy!”
__
Kirsty Cotton – “It was a mistake! I didn’t… I didn’t mean to open it! It was a mistake! You can… Ah! GO TO HELL!”
Female Cenobite – “We can’t. Not alone.”
Pinhead – “You solved the box. We came. Now you must come with us. Taste our pleasures.”

Frank the Monster – “I’m hurting.”
Julia – “Hurting?”
Frank the Monster – “My nerves are beginning to work again.”
Julia – “Good.”
Frank the Monster – “One more, maybe two.”
Julia – “Not again.”
Frank the Monster – “To heal me completely! Then we can be away from here before they start to follow.”
Julia – “Who?”
Frank the Monster – “The Cenobites. It’s only a matter of time before they find I’ve slipped them.”
__
Frank the Monster – “I thought I’d gone to the limits. I hadn’t. The Cenobites gave me an experience beyond limits. Pain and pleasure, indivisible.”
__
Female Cenobite – “Not leaving us so soon, are you?”
__
Julia – “What do you want me to do?”
Frank the Monster – “The blood brought me back this far. I need more. You have to heal me.”
__
Frank the Monster – “See? It’s making me whole again. Every drop of blood you spill the more flesh you put on my bones. And we both want that, don’t we?”
Frank the Monster – “Good.”
__
And finally…
Frank the Monster (holding up the box) – “This is it.”
Julia – “Let me see!”
Frank the Monster – “No, don’t touch it! It’s dangerous. It opens doors.”
