Comments: Bobby Marcucci opens a Lament Configuration, and out step four Cenobites. Pinhead stands out among them. Here, though, the Cenobites are under attack.
We see Hell, where there is a ton of drama going on, and a war is coming.
In the human world, a child named Ludovico Sinistrari is born. In Hell, he creates a machine for Pinhead. Pinhead is looking to stop Leviathan’s adversary, who remains a mystery. We do see his followers, a group of monsters who do not appear overly threatening. Most of the Cenobites are not that scary either. Only Pinhead seems to have an essence of terror about him.
Now, in the Old West, Pinhead has a few disciples of his own: Snake Oil, Hang-Man, Fan Dancer, and Dixie. These Cenobites are definitely beings to be feared.
The spearheads do not look as impressive as the nails in Pinhead’s head, but they are still intimidating. Pinhead’s appearance conveys the fact that he is a fiendish devil who enjoys pain and delivering it. Pinhead is the devil you know but wish you did not.
