djBuffoon 11,927 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Jamie Clayton will play Pinhead in Spyglass and Hulu’s upcoming reboot and re-imagining of the “Hellraiser” franchise. The announcement confirms reports that Pinhead, the demonic creature at the center of the mayhem in the original films, will be portrayed by a woman. I expect to see some horror fans get up in arms about this BUT this is tremendously exciting, and a great boon for the transgender community. Not to mention, it more closely follows the character description for this characters as Clive Barker wrote them in his novella. My excitement for this reboot just went up. https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/hellraiser-reboot-unveils-full-cast-170049727.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromatican 4,046 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Oh wow this is great. This and Indya Moore getting cast in Aquaman 2 means that transgender actors are getting real chances in Hollywood now not just behind the camera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It holds up for me, but certainly isn't for everyone. (Although, yes, more smoke could only help. ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItWasntLaauv 6,392 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 YEEEEESSS I LOVE HER!!!! Her on Sense8 and The L Word Generation Q is just flawless. I wouldn’t have expected this casting, which makes this more exciting. Also side note, she is so gorgeous, her smile alone could bring world peace, she has amazing teeth lol.

I just feel like some remakes not even THAT bad like people want them to be. for example, i find Friday 13th 00s remake to be really cool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course! While retaining his signature grid with iron pins jabbed at the intersections, in the novella the grid is described as being tattooed rather then sliced on. Likewise, Pinhead's tongue is similarly decorated. Probably the most significant change is the fact that while in the movie series Pinhead is male, in the novella he is a gender ambiguous being, the clothing covering up his sexual organs. Also of note is the fact that while Pinhead bares a deep and eloquent masculine voice in the movies the novella's version has a breathy light voice, compared to that of a little girl. https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Hell_Priest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find many reasons to recommend the original Night of the Living Dead, but I respect its place in horror history, and some other classics that just don't do it for me. It's best to look at each film in its proper historical context, to see why it became a classic in the first place. On the other hand, there's plenty of lesser known films from the same eras which deserve more notice these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
