![]() But besides that, why would D’Amour say yes? He barely says yes to people who are his actual friends, let alone this fiend from Hell. D’Amour is key to this plan, and Pinhead needs him to say yes. You almost root for him to feel something, and you want to tell him that just his interaction with Norma, or his stalker-like obsession with D’Amour, means he feels something, no matter how much he “doth protests.” He wants to possess all of the knowledge, and go to Lucifer himself, whether to serve or take over – you’ll have to read to find out. Twenty years later, the Hell Priest, is still written with the tiniest spark of humanity, his underlying motivation, it seems, hidden even from him. ![]() What can you expect when our setting is a desolate New York, followed by a journey through actual Hell? Barker succeeds in asking us what we are most afraid of, and then exponentially expanding it until we cannot even comprehend the terror we are reading. That’s not too much ask, is it? The Hell Priest does have his trusty hooks, but uses them in the beginning to desiccate the most powerful magicians to gather their secrets, then does not rely on them so much for a lot of the novel. His ambitions are small – destroy the world and rule over Hell. ![]() The Scarlet Gospels, the last chapter of Pinhead the Cenobite’s story, has him face off against Harry D’Amour, his old foe.
