Pinhead (Doug Bradley) turns the Holy Communion upside down in Hell on Earth (1992).

Such nods to Lovecraft largely disappear from the series after Bloodline, as the Cenobites become more traditionally demonic, and the plots are re-oriented around Derleth-style moral dichotomies. A central Lovecraftian conceit remains in the background of the series, however—linking all the Hellraiser films and persisting even as their plots, characters, and genre associations change. Each installment in the series forces its human characters to confront a universe more vast and terrifying than they had ever imagined, filled with creatures more horrific than their worst nightmares. The characters’ bodies are constantly at risk (the films are filled with pain, dismemberment, and death) but their naive assumptions about the universe, and the rules that govern it, die first.
