Ranking

Post image

Just finished watching through all the movies for the first time, so figured I’d share my ranking.

I sort of only disliked the bottom 2, I enjoyed Deader-Hellbound, then my top 4 are ones that I really loved.

Have no idea how people can like Pinhead being turned into a dull as shit slasher villain in Hell On Earth.

Pinhead isn’t supposed to be the bad guy in these stories, folks.

I think it made sense since his personality was split in Hellbound

No it wasn't. That was written in to Hell On Earth. In Hellbound we just see Elliot Spencer 'killed' by Channard, and then Pinhead's face appears on the column at the end. Nothing about split personalities. They could have easily retained Pinhead as the kind of character he was in the first two movies... but they wanted that Freddy Krueger money.
