One of the most frightening, creepy, and outright good horror films ever made is the 1987 Clive Barker classic, Hellraiser. In the movie, Lemarchand’s puzzle box (also called the Lament Configuration) is an impeccably-made toy that, upon solving, opens a gateway to what is either hell or a hell-like dimension of pain, suffering, and general evil.
Not coincidentally, the awesome mini-tower that is the Hell’s Illusion PC is an impeccably-made gadget that, upon powering up, opens a gateway to the Internet, also a hell-like dimension of pain, suffering, LOLcats, and general evil. Still, it’s a very impressive case mod, and as I’m looking into buying a new computer here soon, I’ll be looking for something like that to really make my desktop pop.
However, I won’t be picking up anything that opens gateways to hell, especially not if it’s a puzzle. I can’t resist puzzles, and the last thing I want to do is get bored and end up with Cenobites swarming all over my house. Nobody needs that.
