I think they should have stopped after Hellraiser 2. In 3, Pinhead's priorities were skewed. If the whole world is Hell, Cenobites become moot. The point of Hellbound Heart and Hellraiser is that somebody sought out the ultimate experience and they got it and paid dearly for it. Pinhead has no reason to conquer the world. Bloodline created a cosmology and history that didn't entirely need to be there. Inferno is cool for adding noir elements into the equation, but it didn't need to be a Hellraiser movie. I would have preferred new, fresh demons. Hellseeker also didn't need to be a Hellraiser film. Deader I will admit I haven't seen. Hellworld was confusing, stupid and patronizing. It feels like Hellraiser was cut and pasted onto it. Revelations has made Clive Barker really angry. If you like Barker and you like Hellraiser, don't contribute money to making it an even worse franchise. Just say no. Shut the box before more crap comes out of it.
