Description
The Pinhead figure is a fictional character from the Hellraiser series, first appearing unnamed in the Clive Barker novella The Hell-bound Heart. The name "Pinhead" is derived from a sobriquet given to him by the crew of the first Hellraiser film he is first credited as such in Hell-bound. Nearly thirty years after The Hell-bound Heart was published, the character was given the designations the Hell Priest and the Cold Man in the sequels that followed. The Scarlet Gospels and Hellraiser, Pinhead is one of the leaders of the Cenobites, formerly humans but transformed into creatures which reside in an extra-dimensional realm, who travel to Earth through a puzzle box called the Lament Configuration in order to harvest human souls. His origins and the nature of the Cenobites vary depending upon the medium, while the character began as an amoral entity blindly devoted to the practice of experimental sadomasochism. In the film series he is revealed to once have been a regular man by the name of Elliott Spencer.
