      "Demons to some, angels to others." - Pinhead
      Personally, I think of it as a form of existential seduction that probably compels the unconscious self to pursue solving the box depending on your deep hedonistic vices so to speak. We are motivated a lot of times by our unconscious priming and we consciously sort of rationalize our actions after the fact. Remember that the central god like figure over that domain is the Leviathan which is the god of flesh, hunger, and desire as mentioned in the video so these aspects of humanity are in some way metaphysically accessible to said entity. So people who are susceptible are coerced or manipulated into uncovering the potential nature of the box. So even a good person who is susceptible by an unconscious vice--one that they may repress or even honestly unaware of--could be captivated by the box. As you probably noticed some people who open the box almost seem to be in a hypnotic state; similar to losing yourself in an experience, sensation, activity or mode of being.
      I also don't think that the characters necessarily have access to the same knowledge that we as an audience do. Whatever limited knowledge they do have probably isn't the full scope of clarity we have. So this idea that if you solve this puzzlebox and you are deemed worthy, you will have access to a plane of existence and become an "Explorers in the further regions of experience" as quoted by Pinhead is something that some probably view as a form of transcendence. Remember, some of the cenobites were humans at one point and while for most people they are probably seen as grotesque (demons to some) they represent something that extends beyond normal human grasps of beauty/pleasure (angles to others).
      There are likely even more mundane and just plain human reasons to pursue the box. Life circumstances have made the person miserable, unfulfilled or feeling trapped and just as drugs sometimes become an escape for some people, this is probably the spiritual equivalent for them.
      Honestly, I'm probably imposing a lot of my personal creative horror ideas into it so I could be completely off in terms of the actual cannon, but that's how I make sense of it when I try to think how I would rationalize entities like this and their relation to humans. Maybe I'll make a video of my thoughts on this sometime.

      Because no one knew whats gonna happen. The rumors about the configuration always told that it brings pleasure. But the thing is that cenobites find pleasure in pain ... the "highest level of pleasure" as they say. thats why all those people have fallen in to that trap. Even pinhead himself.

      That's because she just solved the puzzle . You put one in front of her she had a compulsion to solve . It without thinking remember what Pinhead said . She was just the hands something like that. As they looked around because the doctor . Had the desire so in order for them to take you . One has to have a desire to open the box . Three cases prove this in the first move . Both Frank and Christy could have left the puzzle box alone . But something called to them makeing them open it . The 3rd the detective in Hellraiser Inferno. He loved an took pleasure in solving puzzles . So they called the cenobites by wanting to open the puzzle box . So by the rules the cenobites have to take them. Or try to take them to hell . But the little girl in the 2nd movie. Had something that made her solve any puzzle in front of her against her will. So by the rules she was of limits to the cenobites . They only can take those that solve the puzzle box by their own free will. So it was not compassion that had Pinhead spare her . He an the other cenobites whore bound by the rules .

      The Lament configuration puzzle box is. A tricky thing but remember the rules . Desire calls them not the hands . In this case Tiffany was in the mental hospital . Because that's all she did all day was solve puzzles. So it was a compulsion she literally could not help . Her self she had to solve it so no desire to open it . The Hellraiser comics go into it a little more. In one case a child see the puzzle box . She says something like o pretty what is it . She plays around with it opens it . The Hell Priest an cenobites come . The Hell Priest tells her even if he wanted to take her . He can't because there are rules an she is innocent . Then the female cenobite starts talking to the girl . Sees she has been abused and tortured . At the end her abusive uncle will never hurt her again. Then in a nother case there is a autistic boy . Like really autistic you know can't talk , focus, communicate in any way an so on. Has fits of uncontrollable rage . But the only thing he likes to do that calms him . Down is solving puzzles so his dad would buy him every kid he could find. Then one day normal puzzles stopped working . So the dad was asking for help online then . Next thing he knew was he got a puzzle in the mail. So he gave it to his son with out knowing it was the Lament configuration puzzle box. But his son finally calmed down an started trying to solve it. Then one day the dad heard a scream . His son was gone the son got enjoyment from solving puzzles . So The Hell Priest took the son an he was converted . So when the Hell Priest got done ripping someone apart . He got a new puzzle put together. But Tiffany did not desire to get pleasure from solving the Lament configuration puzzle box. That's the difference an she was innocent and pure .

    The Cenobites are masters of both pain AND pleasure. Pinhead said as much in the first film.

    The cenobites represent a deep, primordial kind of terror. Back when I was just 6 or 7 years old I had a nightmare and went into my living room to see my dad, his way of consolation was to watch Hellraiser: Inferno with me.

      I think your dad was trying to give his best solution at showing you what real fear/nightmares look and feel like. Probably didn't make much sense as a child. But what was in the movie was probably worse than anything a 6 or 7 year old could dream up.Your normal nightmares probably didn't seem scary at all after watching that movie. But it's a tough chance to take. Either it became easier for you to watch horror movies or left you traumatized for the rest of your life.
      Similar experience for me watching the first few Nightmare on elm St. Movies as a child.

    I worked on Hellraiser IV as the stand in for Bruce Ramsay. That shoot was hell itself. I got into a debate with the screenwriter who had written the previous hellraiser with the cenobites that were ridiculous like compact disk face guy. I brought up the same point you did to him about how the original concept of the cenobites was erotic in nature and that the camera/borg cenobite had abandoned that concept and made it just another monster and cheesy one at that. He didn’t like the criticism and left shortly after.

The God Hand in Berserk were basically model after the cenobites. The behelit use to summon the demon and God hand are Lament configuration. The first time we meet the Godhand in the manga, they are in the Labyrinth that look almost exactly like in the movie. So they is no denying it. This is very cool!

    I love that drawing with many of the different characters you have covered that is shown towards the very end of your videos and also is featured as your landscape photo on your homepage! Is that something you yourself drew or was it rendered for you by an artist? Either way its great! You have so many great videos as well! All around job well done sir!
