[Hellraiser-Ghostbusters] If the Ghostbusters were called to the home of someone who unknowingly solved an arcane puzzle box and is now being pursued by the Cenobites, would Dr. Venkman, Egon, Ray, and Winston be able to use their proton packs to trap Pinhead and his friends?

Cenobites are not ghosts, they're demons or something of that nature.  They are supernatural entities from another plane of existence, true, but they appear to have corporeal bodies, not ectoplasm.  There's no guarantee the proton packs would work the same way.  They might still be useful as a distraction, but considering the whole weird sadomasochistic vibe of the cenobites, perhaps not the same kind of distraction the Ghostbusters are used to (with the possible exception of that freaky horndog Venkman).  

The proton packs didn't really work on Gozer either, at least not in the traditional way, that was just a lucky coincidence that deliberate misuse of unlicensed nuclear accelerators can cause catastrophic effects for whatever universe it happens in, and Gozer happened to be operating from another universe with a convenient open portal...  

All that said, the Ghostbusters have a **LOT** of paranormal reference material, and they're smart and willing to try very strange things if the evidence supports them.  So even if their standard countermeasures don't work against Cenobites, there's a good chance they could come up with something effective.  The fact that the Cenobites are physically present in a way that ghosts are not might even make things easier.
