The ones I've seen:

1.Hellraiser: His famous adaption and one of the best. 8/10

2.Hellraiser II: Sequel to Hellraiser. Short on logic but rich on gore. 7,5/10

3.Hellraiser III: Pinhead as the main character is cool, the rest mostely sucks.
But a few cool Scenes. 3,5/10

4.Hellraiser - Bloodline : Way better than part 3 and I think it's a bit underrated. Confusing story but way less confusing than pt II. 7,5/10

5.Cabal/Nightbreed: Total Awsome movie, in my opinion, the best Screen Adaption. Starts off a bit slow but kicks ass all around. 9/10

6.Rawhead Rex: Pretty bad adaption ( I haven't read the story ) about an irish monster monkey on the rampage. Chessy effects and not scary at all. 3/10

7.Candyman: Awsome movie, Tony Todd is one of the best villans out there, but I hated the ending. 8/10

8.Candyman 2: Good enough sequel, tells a bit more about the roots of the candyman and lets him fall in Love. Still an ok timewaster 6,5/10

Are there any other ones ( exept Hellraiser:Inferno, seems like nobody bothers to release this here around-shit! and Candyman 3),
please tell me!

I love the Hellraiser and Candyman series, mostly the originals. I didn't like Nightbreed as well but it still is good, same with Lord of Illusions. I haven't read any of his novels, but I may start sometime. My favorites are Hellraiser, Hellbound, and Candyman.

I have to stop doubling up.

CANDYMAN is by far the best Clive Barker film adaptation.

CANDYMAN II was not a bad sequel, either (hey, it wasn't in the same league as ALIENS, but then again, it was better than any FRIDAY THE 13TH remakes/ripoffs). Being a lifelong resident of Louisiana, I love the New Orleans setting in CANDYMAN II and the flashbacks of Candyman's murder.
