* BadBoss: Leviathan, in its treatment of Pinhead and his fellow Cenobites the moment they rediscover the humanity it stole from them, and turn against it. It also [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness discards Channard]], who actually enjoys being its slave, without any hesitation.

* BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler: Frank's ploy to trap Kirsty ends up failing miserably and when he thinks his former [[TheDragon Dragon]] Julia has come to bail him out, she kills him instead.]]

-->'''Channard:''' I recommend... amputation!

* AdultFear: Imagine being a parent and your young daughter starts showing signs of obsessive compulsive disorder, becoming obsessed with solving puzzles to the point where it is consuming her life. So, being the loving and responsible parent you are, you take her to a reputable psychiatrist in hopes that he can help her. Instead [[spoiler:he brutally murders you ''right in front of your child,'' further scarring her. Then he essentially kidnaps your daughter, taking her into his asylum where he subjects her to torturous “treatments” that basically render her catatonic to the point where she can only focus on solving puzzles.]] Why does he do this? [[spoiler: So he can use her to open a HellGate.]] Poor Tiffany has been through some serious shit.

** Also, Kristy's boyfriend Steve is nowhere in sight and not given a single mention despite still being alive at the end of the first film. Though granted after all that he saw, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch of the imagination to say he broke up with her...

* AgonyBeam: Leviathan is constantly projecting one from each of its faces [[spoiler: until Tiffany uses the puzzle box to force Leviathan out of its diamond form into the form of a giant puzzle box]].

-->'''Female Cenobite''': "Didn't open the box?" And what was it last time? "Didn't know what the box was." And yet we do keep finding each other don't we?

* DoomedMoralVictor: Pinhead and his fellow Cenobites are murdered after defying the Leviathan controlled Channard, but regain their humanity in the process.

* IronicHell: Frank's own Hell in ''Hellbound''.

* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Pinhead and his companions, on rediscovering their humanity, turn against Leviathan.

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler: Cenobite Channard effortlessly kills Pinhead and the other cenobites. Although, they had just been reminded of their lost humanity so were not at peak strength.]]

* WorfHadTheFlu: Many fans were disappointed to see series villain Pinhead and his cronies taken out by the new Cenobite, [[spoiler:Dr. Channard]]. Many have written off his easy defeat due to him being weakened and disoriented by learning he was once human, a notion supported by ''Hellbound'' screenwriter Peter Atkins. Not to mention they were acting in direct defiance of Leviathan, their master and creator, who was connected directly to Channard. They never stood a chance.

* AgonyBeam: Leviathan likes to shoot people with an agony beam.

* SuddenlyVoiced: Tiffany, after seeing the Channard Cenobite:

* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Just look at that huge, phallic tendril burrowing it's way into [[spoiler:the Channard Cenobite's]] head.

* IDieFree: Although Pinhead and his companions are killed by the Leviathan controlled Channard, they remember their humanity and rebel against the Lord Of The Labyrinth. As [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Unishment punishment]], Pinhead is stripped of his powers and forcibly reverted by Leviathan back to the man he once was, Captain Elliot Spencer. Before he dies Elliot possesses a serene, grateful expression and sacrifices his life for Kirsty, finally freed from his eternal torment.
