“Angels to some. Demons to others.”

From: Hellraiser (1987)

Genre: Movies

Who said it?: “Pinhead”

he story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes the 1987 horror film, Hellraiser. Written and directed by Clive Barker, the movie focuses on the Cenobites who are summoned into this world by solving a puzzle box.

The quote comes in the middle of the film. After Kristy (played by Ashley Laurence) solves the puzzle box out of curiosity, the Cenobites appear and start to torment her. A terrified Kristy asks who they are. This is when the leader of the Cenobites, affectionately called by fans as Pinhead (played by Doug Bradley) explains they are explorers from a different realm before delivering the quote.

Most of my childhood (and adult life) was spent doing a lot of geeky stuff: watching TV, playing video games and going to the movies. To some, it may have been a waste of time. Well, to me, it has made me what I am today... a geeky adult. I actually write for a couple of blogs, namely: geekwisdom.wordpress.com 3rdworldgeeks.com gamemoir.com Please check them out!
