This is for the base only ( puzzle box not included ) Designed with the 2023 hellraiser font logo The Lament Configuration is a fictional lock puzzle or puzzle box appearing in horror stories by Clive Barker, or in works based on his original stories. The best known of these boxes is LeMarchand’s Box, which features prominently throughout the Hellraiser movie series. This was designed and made by Simon Sayce, one of the original creative team. A LeMarchand’s box is a mystical/mechanical device that acts as a door — or a key to a door — to another dimension or plane of existence. The solution of the puzzle creates a bridge through which beings may travel in either direction across this “Schism”. The inhabitants of these other realms may seem demonic to humans. An ongoing debate in the film series is whether the realm accessed by the Lament Configuration is intended to be the Christian version of Hell, or some other dimension of endless pain and suffering.
