Of course, the first person to spring to mind is Clive Barker, but the franchise as we know it could not have been without screenwriter Peter Atkins or actors Doug Bradley and Ashley Laurence. Think for a bit, and maybe come up with a top 10 list or something. http://www.joblo.com/ubb/smile.gif

None of the first four Hellraisers (haven't seen the fifth yet) would have worked without Doug Bradley. So, in my opinoin, he's the one who has done most for the series.
