Doug Bradley Talks Pinhead & Hellraiser Remake

Doug Bradly, Pinhead from the Hellraiser series, sat down with the "Horror Chick" (Heather Wixson) and spoke his mind about his role as one of horrors biggest icons. He also let us know his thoughts about the Hellraiser remake, the state of horror today and the problem with the studio's disregarding ideas from established horror actors....

Follow up:



While a lot of the horror films of the '80s were centered around a slasher, Barker's Hellraiser brought fans something else: a visceral glimpse into the sins of the flesh. Bradley credits his previous collaborations with Barker in the theater as the inspirations behind his portrayal of Pinhead.

"I had been involved in playing in Clive's imaginary landscapes for years before the first Hellraiser," said Bradley. "The first time I read the script, I got the Pinhead character (originally named simply 'Priest') pretty quickly, and I knew what Clive would be looking for with him. I drew on a few of Clive's other characters that I had been previously to flesh him out and find his dark places."

Even though it's been years since Bradley donned the Pinhead make-up, it doesn't mean that the actor wouldn't enjoy suiting up as everyone's favorite priest of Hell again.

Especially when it comes to the upcoming Hellraiser remake.

Bradley explained, "Having someone else play Pinhead and the fact that they are doing a remake bothers me on so many different levels. That character, much like Robert (Englund) and Freddy, is one that I really worked hard to make mine, and seeing someone else become Pinhead feels like a kick in the teeth."

"The studio hasn't asked me to come back as Pinhead, and they really couldn't care less what I think about the remake," added Bradley. "I think studios need to be looking for the new Tobe Hoopers, John Carpenters, or Clive Barkers rather than taking a ride on someone else's work. It's cheap, and it's disrespectful I think."

I'm curious whether anyone knows how to send Mr. Bradley a note... When I was young, I lived in McLeansville, NC where a portion of Hellraiser III was filmed. We heard the helicopters outside and when we went to see what was going on, we found the set and crew for the film just down the road. Doug Bradley had the pinhead costume on and kissed my mothers hand. I'm curious whether he remembers these events :)

Thanks!
