Hulu’s new Hellraiser movie reveals its Pinhead in first photos

Hulu’s HellraiserThe reboot, which is less than a month away promises the terrifying return of Pinhead, the leader of the Cenobites, and his lonesome followers. On Thursday, we got a clear (but faithfully dark) peek at the iconic Hell Priest, who will be played by actor Jamie Clayton in director David Bruckner’s take on Hellraiser — It appears the Leviathan servants are selling glossy PVC fetish wear to flayed skin.

First glimpse of the Pinhead in action tweeted out by Clayton herselfHyping up Hellraiser’s Oct. 7 release date. Clayton’s Pinhead is, from the neck up, similar to the Cenobite leader portrayed by Doug Bradley in previous Hellraiser movies and as described in Clive Barker’s The Hellbound Heart novella. The grid she has cut into her flesh is marked with a nail at each intersection. Her eyes are similarly disturbing — fully bloodshot. Below the neck, Pinhead’s sadomasochistic design appears to be one of negative space; her skin appears to have been flayed away in intricate patterns.

It appears that this design choice is carried on to the next Cenobite. HellraiserEntertainment Weekly. The Masque, a Cenobite new creation is seen standing seemingly naked. His genitals were apparently taken and the flesh was cut and folded. This costume-like appearance can be seen on Entertainment Weekly. The Masque is NSFW, so take a closer look.

Clayton joins the New Hellraiser are Odessa A’zion, who plays Riley, a young woman struggling with addiction and compulsion who discovers the series’ iconic puzzle box; and Goran Visnjic, who Bruckner describes as an “elite, one-percenter” who is “also an educated occultist” obsessed with the Lament Configuration, the formal name of that puzzle box. “He’s educated, he’s sinister, he’s an important human component in the moral fabric of Hellraiser,” Bruckner told EW.
