  • Sounds likely. I don’t have any reason to doubt him. I’m aware of the themes in Hellraiser. Seen the movies, read the book. (The first one, anyway.) It’s pretty obvious. It’s not subtle. The whole “person seeks out extremes of sensation and winds up with much more than they bargained for” is a recurring trope.

    That doesn’t change the fact that the bad guys are dressed kinky, and no, they don’t use safe words. It’s supposed to freak you out. In fact, I would even say that Hellraiser is one of the worst in that regard.

    I like King, but I still have to admit that a lot of his characters sound like what a space alien would come up with after studying humans for a few months.

    “Hello, fellow human! I also enjoy eating Big Macs from McDonald’s, drinking Coca-Cola, and listening to Bruce Springsteen music!”

    Misrepresent, you mean? Yeah, the Cenobites are dressed up as kinksters, and that’s done to play upon the ick reaction that the mainstream has towards kink. That’s exactly the kind of thing I’m talking about, and it’s probably the reason why their outfits are much less BDSM in the reboot.
