Partnered with the demon princess of Hell Angelique ( Valentina Vargas), Pinhead seeks to open an eternal portal from Hell to Earth in order to conquer it and kill any obstacles in the way. Freed from his human side by some form of Soul Pillar sorcery in Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, Pinhead begins to gorge on victims to escape his rectangular prison, leading to a nightclub rampage where he indiscriminately massacres the club’s customers and turns a number of them into Cenobites.Įven after merging with his human aspect again, Pinhead’s behavior changes little in Hellraiser: Bloodline, which inexplicably takes the Hellraiser setting into the future and into space (beating Jason X to the punch by five years). Having been reverted to his original human form Elliott Spencer, Pinhead was killed in combat and trapped within a McGuffin known as the “Pillar of Souls,” giving director Anthony Hickox ( Waxwork) and writers Peter Atkins and Tony Randel (who also directed Hellraiser II) free license to play with Pinhead’s character. With Clive Barker’s involvement in the rearview mirror after Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988), Pinhead’s character took a menacing turn.
