Horror cult finally returns in new pictures Iconic villain

Hellraiser is a cult. The horror film series is best known for its unique mythology about a magic cube that summons nightmarish slayer creatures called cenobites into our dimension. The veteran franchise is set to be continued with a new Hellraiser soon. In the first few images, the horror figure #1 returns with Pinhead. But very different than ever before.

Jamie Clayton is Pinhead’s first female portrayal

As the pictures show, Jamie Clayton will play Pinhead for the first time by a woman. The regular and fan favorite was previously Doug Bradley, who has portrayed the grisly master of torture in seven of the 10 films in the series since the first Hellraiser. To portray the character with feminine features corresponds to Barker’s original novel (via Screenrant).

The new Hellraiser is said to be about a young drug addict who accidentally summoning the cenobites to earth. In addition to Clayton, the cast includes Hiam Abbass (Blade Runner 2049) and Drew Starkey (Love, Simon).

The streaming year was very varied in the film sector. A red panda has thrown Toronto into chaos while a princess struggled from the top floor of a tower to the ground floor. We were also able to experience the first moon landing through children’s eyes and received an amusing Jackass encore.
