Saw + Hellraiser

Now that the Saw movie franchise seems to have run its course, and the Hellraiser movies are all played out, why not revitalize both franchises by combining them? You know, like with Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, or more recently, Freddy Vs. Jason. It would be really easy to do with these two franchises, because it would pretty much make sense. Jigsaw, the killer from Saw, was obsessed with creating pain and suffering, just like the Cenobites (albeit for different ends), so wouldn’t it follow that this devious brilliance may have earned him the position of a Cenobite after death? And his character has died in the movie series, so…

So here’s how this movie would work: Jigsaw has become a Cenobite after death due to his brutality and sadism, and because he’s called “Jigsaw”, whenever anyone solves a jigsaw puzzle (continuing with the solving-a-puzzle thing from the Hellraiser series), Jigsaw materializes with a few other Cenobites, and then they kill the person who solved the jigsaw puzzle by dismembering them in the form of a jigsaw puzzle. And they always take away one piece of the person, but leave behind the one missing piece of the last victim, so the police always think it’s some sophisticated serial killer who’s responsible. And, naturally, once the coroner gets all the pieces of a victim and puts the person back together again, it “solves” the “puzzle”, so Jigsaw and the Cenobites appear again, killing the coroner with some Jigsaw torture device, and so the bodies and coroner bodies pile up, until someone can stop the supernatural Jigsaw/Cenobite menace.
