Clive Socks
Description: The film opens on the fictional island of Svardlov in the Barents Sea north of the Soviet Union where an American spy breaks into an old mine where he discovers the frozen body of a U.S. Army sergeant and mining expert Jake Hobart. Next to Hobart's corpse is a newspaper from November 1911, as well as some mining tools from the early part of the 20th century. Using a radiation meter, the spy discovers that what he seeks, an extremely rare mineral named byzanium, was there but had been mined out leaving only traces. He is then chased and shot by Soviet forces, but is rescued at the last moment by Dirk Pitt (Richard Jordan), a former U.S. Navy officer and a clandestine operator.
Description: "Explorers in the further regions of experience. Demons to some. Angels to others." The Cenobites are extradimensional beings who exist in an extra-dimensional realm and are present in Clive Barker's writings The Hellbound Heart, The Scarlet Gospels and eleven Hellraiser films. They are also mentioned in passing in the novel Weaveworld by the character Immacolata, who calls them "The Surgeons." They can reach Earth's reality only through a schism in time and space, which is opened and closed using certain unearthly artifacts. The most common form for these artifacts is that of an inconspicuous-looking puzzle box called the Lament Configuration.
