The revelation of his own former humanity in Hellraiser II causes Pinhead, a demon called a Cenobite, to be split into two entities: his former self, World War I British Army Captain Elliot Spencer, and a manifestation of Spencer's id, which takes on the form of Pinhead. While Spencer ends up in limbo, Pinhead is trapped, along with the puzzle box, among the writhing figures and distorted faces etched into the surface of an intricately carved pillar — the Pillar of Souls.

J. P. Monroe, the womanizing owner of a popular nightclub called The Boiler Room, buys the pillar. An ambitious young television reporter, Joanne "Joey" Summerskill and you are her cameraman/camerawoman. You both goes to the club to investigate the nightclub and the owner itself, where the puzzle box and the pillar is owned by him. The place is full of people partying around, some of them doing nasty things with the prostitutes, drinking and sniffing some drugs. As you and Joey gets inside, you felt the weird vibe in the place as you and Joey gets further.
