What do you think about the Hellraiser franchise moving forward without Doug Bradley?

Doug Bradley will always be pinhead to me. He is the only one who can balance the authoritative nature of the character. If the wrong actor wore that costume and makeup that first movie, pinhead would not be the icon that he is.

Pinhead's appearance is definitely iconic but that voice... my god that voice is perfection. Doug Bradley played the character brilliantly.

His voice, stare , and music are stamped in my head

If you'd watched Hellraiser, you'd already know what "the actor who plays Pin Head" looks like. It shows him as a normal man and how the whole thing started...

He was truly intimidating. Something about his demeanor screamed terrifying. I always thought it was the way he spoke with such power and conviction is what drove that fear spike through me. ❤

He will always be the true Hellraiser

I met him and Clive Barker a few years back. Both are very nice, humble guys.

The only Pinhead that I will ever accept and the only Pinhead that will really ever matters.

There is no replacement for the original Pinhead... the voice is irreplaceable.

"Is pinhead the sexiest cenobite" Well I didn't say it outloud.. but no lies were told.

Doug Bradley is a legend ❤

Doug Bradley did fantastic job on hellraiser

Hellraiser was the nightmare of my childhood

Damn all the OGs of horror ...

What about Kane Hodder as Jason in the Friday the 13th franchise? Douglas Bradley is Pinhead, he truly made that role his own, like Robert Eungland did with Freddy Kruger.

It would be awesome if they brought him back for a cameo (looking older) to play a knowledgeable character, who has learned about the configurations. I think it may be a detractor if this older character became a victim of the cenobites, perhaps maybe a creepy, twisted guy who survived the lament configuration. Bitter from his years of lamentation over those he'd lost. Maybe a wild, sad, dark backstory. We get more lore, and we get more of that amazing acting! Just depends if he'd be up for it.

I've become known as the man who gave Pinhead nightmares. Well over a decade ago during a Hellraiser Q&A panel at a Chiller Theater convention, in the middle of a monologue, Doug Bradley suddenly stopped mid-sentence, shuddered, coveted his eyes and said; "Could the man in the kilt please close your legs..." Ashley Lawrence perked up and went for a peek while my wife fell out of her chair laughing...

That iconic line... "The Box. You opened it, we came."

fun fact: pinhead's real name isn't actually pinhead, it's hell priest, but he'll always be called pinhead.

He's also done work for Cradle of Filth. He did voice work on the albums Nymphetemine and Godspeed on the the Devils Thunder.

I remember VH1 doing a scariest movie moments back in the 00s and Doug Bradley was in it, and he talked about how he would get fanmail from women who wanted to have Pinhead's babies and how bewildered he was over it.

He gave us a great performance in a great movie

"No tears please. It's a waste of good suffering!"

Doug was the best imo. This new woman isn’t bad, she just lacks the imposing fear Doug had

Call me a dominant, but he'll always be hotter as PinHead

Doug Bradley was in one of the wrong turn films. He was hilarious, and scary, surprised to see him portray the opposite of his famous role Pinhead.

Ummm? *OF COURSE* we know what he looks like. We _saw_ the movies.

Unforgettable performance. Gotta respect the portrayal in Judgement though, captured the exact same charm Bradley did

Michael Berryman is one of my all time favorite horror movie actor. I know he’s never played one role over and over but he’s been in the game for a long time and he’s just an amazing person

There can only be ONE!!

I didn't know that there's 6 Leprechaun movies

pinhead is genuinely so fine i couldn't love the hellraiser movies more

Doug's amazing! Jamie's going to be awesome in the new movie though ❤

"Moved on" lol

War wick ?? 😂

You opened the box, we came…

I like the original one!

This remains one of the best series of its time ! ...

The only one to even come close to Doug Bradley is the 2022 reboot, Jamie Clayton.

I love both Tobin Bell & Doug Bradley They’re handsome men & incredible actors

Doug also narrates macabre/ supernatural/ ghost stories on his Spine Chillers - fantastic voice.

Pinhead: Your suffering will be legendary even in hell!!!!

Hell yes he is!

I loved the original Hellraiser and the second one too. Very ahead and advanced for their time and when it was made especially

I met Nice guy

I don't care who they put on screen...Doug Bradley rules as our beloved Pinhead!!!!

Chaterer looks like nemesis from res 3

They forgot Kane Hodder who played JASON VORHEES

ill never forget the pic of Bradly in full makeup snacking on pizza

My Childhood movie😊

Freddy Kreugar’s face lks like pepperoni 💥

So that's what that rick and morty episode was inspired by.

Your suffering will be legendary.. even in Hell.

I think the new pin head took the cake tbh. I used to be scared as hell by the original pinhead and now he doesn’t even hold a candle to how scary the new hell priest is!!

As hard to watch all the films , his acting is phenomonal even though I'd be scared to meet him personally in rl!!!!!!!

Sounds like he could be returning soon

Welp I didn't know those pins where holding his skin on. The things you learn.

Jaymie Clayton as pinhead in the 22' remake

If you know hellraiser you'd know that elliot Spencer wasn't the only Pinhead.

I love this channel

Hes the only pinhead forever and he’s the only one who Can Tear your soul Apaaart! 😅

I thought Jamie Clayton was an amazing variation of our favorite cenobite. 😉

Got Doug’s autograph almost a decade ago at the Calgary Comic Fest

They promote this video like Doug Bradley's face has just been revealed....😂😂😂

We love you Doug Bradley

You forgot Jeffrey Combs as Reanimator, Tony Todd as Candyman, Angus Scrimm as Tallman , Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, Robert Zdar as Matt Cordell :)

I know he didn’t play Jason in 6 films but I think Kane hodder who played Jason should be on that list he’s so damn good!

Doug Bradley was perfect

Doug Bradley is exactly one week older than I!

War-Wick

You don't want to go up to Clive and call the Hell Priest Pinhead to him. He does not like that too much.

When I grow up I wanna be a pinhead

Bro made quite an impact on dbd

In Hellbound Heart Butterball was the lead cenobite

hellraiser scares me shitless and i gotta attribute that to bradley. his deep commanding voice made my skin crawl when i was 13 and watched that for the first time😂

Thank you Doug Bradley!!

He looks like Red from That 70s Show

WTF does his “sexiness” have to do with this?? Nothing! The answer is nothing

The dat cenobite was the leader and is the one that came to get you in the books. When Frank opened the box, Butterball showed up sitting on a pile of tongues and said where hes going pain is different had something to do with the nerve endings

Doug Bradley was the best he is PINHEAD he will tear your heart apart

His voice …. 🤤

Choose your side Halloween or Jeepers Creepers

Nothing tops 1987 hellraiser.

Good thing he came on the entity to torture survivors on Dead by daylight aka DBD

I saw the new one, not bad at all. However, I miss the sarcasm, laughs and quotes of the old Pinhead. Your suffering will be legendary even in hell !!! Also the princess was an important part of the hellraiser saga, and it's unfortunate that they didn't keep her around as beautiful and vicious as she was.

Well now the new Pinhead is sexiest lol.

I am proud to say that I was born the same year the original movie came out (1987). As ridiculous as the premise of the movie is, it’s an absolute CLASSIC horror film IMO..

Yes!

I like calling pinhead the satanic sponge

Doug Bradley is always my pinhead anyone else that plays pinhead doesn’t do a good job as Doug Bradley did But my fav character is female centobite 😊

I love Hellraiser but I haven't seen all the movies yet though...only saw the first and part 2. Doug Bradley almost turned down the role to play one of the mattress movers instead which I thought was an interesting fact.

This dude broke the source material and made The Hellpriest their own character. Even though Pinhead wasn't meant to be super masculine and authoritative like this, Doug Bradly practically rewrote what The Hellpriest was like. I still like the new one, but no one can beat Doug Bradly, he set the bar way to fucking high.

Didn't he also play the alter ego in like number 4? The British soldier* who was looking for "such sights"

Oh, the things, I can show you.

He will always be pinhead He will always be the person people think about his pinhead - At least in a male role Incredible His voice acting was superb The stuff of nightmares ☠️

I honestly think he is THE best pinhead out there. While my personal favorite is Jamie Clayton, because her performance is accurate to the original story: Doug Bradley made the character. Without Bradley, there would be no pinhead.

He was definitely the sexiest cenobite. I only think he is sexy as the priest of Hell and not as a human. He was the perfect Pin Head with the perfect voice.

I think that actor that played Tyrion Lannister would have made a great rival Hell priest or even Christopher Waltz, even though their employment would cost a good sum.
