Clive Barker once said, “Nothing springs into my imagination without having inspiration in other things I’ve seen or experienced… The Cenobites were no exception”, and the same goes for Pinhead. His Hellraiser introduced horror fans to this Cenobite leader whose horrific appearance and chilling calm and elegance made him an instant horror icon, someone we are enticed by… even after all those decades. But this “Hell Priest” was obviously not some spontaneous creation. Barker’s original design for Pinhead was actually born from years of artistic exploration, literary description, and diverse cultural influences.

Also an update to the costumes, I would change the pins they used. The pearls on the tips of them makes it look too pretty and basically like a cosplay costume where the person didn't have solid metal ones which clearly fit better with the setting. I don't think Hell would be handing out these pristine pretty pearloid pins to its cenobites. I would also somehow make Claytons Pinhead look more evil/angry in her eyebrow region. She looks too sweet almost with all that makeup.. Claytons got a heavy brow and piercing eyes so I think they could bring that out better and make her look more menacing. Otherwise great costume designs. I would have probably gone with a different voice for her as well. More of a hint of female tone to it would be fine with me. It sounds too gravely or something like 2 people are talking at the same time, which I guess is a neat effect but I still probably woulda gone with something else. Doug Bradleys Pinhead voice is not like this at all. It's just deeper and more commanding sounding.
