Horror's philosopher-villain. "We have such sights to show you" is the genre's most elegant threat.
Clive Barker's Hell Priest is horror's most articulate villain — a cenobite who speaks in elegant riddles about the relationship between pain and pleasure. Doug Bradley's measured, theatrical performance elevated what could have been a simple monster into a philosophical antagonist. "We have such sights to show you" is horror's most seductive threat. The grid of nails in his skull is one of the most striking character designs in cinema, and his presence elevated every Hellraiser sequel he appeared in — which is saying something, given those sequels.
