Actor Doug Bradley (Pinhead) had no prior film experience before this. He was college/theater friends with Clive Barker. Doug held the Pinhead for 8 consecutive Hellraiser movies.
Clive Barker *hates* the name Pinhead, which is the name the movie gave to the Hell Priest. In the second book, a character mocked the Priest, by calling him Pinhead. That character then brutally killed 😂
26:28 When Pinhead said "We want the man who did this" Kristy refused. It is possible that the cenobites now considered the deal broken. At least that is a possible explanation.
Everyone complains about how you can see the wheels of the stroller pushing the creature down the hallway, but people forget that in the book that creature (called the Engineer) has its body melted and attached by the nerves to a wheeled machine. There's a part of the book that is not shown in the movie that describes the tortures Frank goes through in the hands of the Cenobites and it tells how Frank hears the wheels of the creature coming down the hallway with a new torture device everyday. I don't know if they intended to show that in the movie or it's a production mistake, but ironically it ends up being more accurate to the book, cos the creature actually has wheels.
Actually the creature (engineer) in the book is quite different from the movie, I'm just finishing reading the book and the engineer was described as a humanoid sitting on a throne of decaying heads.
You've both got it wrong! 🤣 The one sitting on the skulls is from the first group of cenobites. The engineer appears near the end of the book and is like a person with light for a head or something (it's kind of unclear).
I've been waiting for this one! One of the best horror movies of all time IMO, between the practical effects and the Cenobite designs it's just iconic! The series as a whole kind of sucks but the first two films are fantastic.
This film was, and remains, a brilliant piece of work. Given the obstacles and odds of even getting the film made with limited support this turned out to be one of my all-time favorite horrors ever released.
You can thank composer Christopher Young for why the music is so good. It has this kind of bombastic yet has this romantic gothic horror vibe here. Sometimes I listen to orchestral horror music to help me sleep. Its amazing!
The way I described it to my friend was “Oh good god it sounds like we’re going to Hell. Or at the very least, this is gonna be some kind of religious experience.”
Saw this for the first time when I was 14 years old back in 1989. Been one of my favourite horror movies ever since. For me Julia is the real star of the movie. I really liked the scene where she stands in front of the bathroom mirror and looks directly into the camera while washing off the blood. Very disturbing imagery throughout the entire movie.
Clive Barker just got the right back in December 2021 , by court order , after Helraiser 3 , rest were not originally even Hellraiser movies , studio just took some script they had , put pinhead in it and called it Hellraiser to keep the rights ... shitty move , but film studios did it all the time .
Ah the classic “we gotta make a movie to retain rights” move so they pull a random script that they can morph into a sequel 😂 I heard there were 2 new Hellraisers in development (a movie and a series)
@@BRIDGECO1 The Cenobites are basically Priests of HELL... They're also known as Guardians of the Puzzle boxes. The Lament Configuration (the box) is one of 150 different intricately designed puzzle boxes known as Pandorices. Each box has a specific Guardian attached to it, and each one opens up a gate to HELL. I sent you a link
As far as the last 20 seconds... the "guardian" of the puzzle box is now trying to find another sucker/victim - someone else like Frank Cotton. The subtitle for the film, as per the woman who played Julia, was "Who’s a girl gotta kill to get laid?" The combination of sex and horror was well-mixed, to my thought. It made things very disturbing - which was the point of the exercise. I think you will thoroughly enjoy HELLRAISER 2: HELLBOUND.
Lol, id always heard it was "what a woman would do for a good fuck" or something along those lines, lol. They were trying to come up for titles to the movie and a woman shouted that gem, lol. Love it
The job of the thing disguised as the hobo is to protect the puzzle boxes so they can keep offering them to people. The box senses people with dark desires and drags them to the Cenobites hell that tests the limits between pain and pleasure and some taken there become Cenobites themselves.
The hobo-dragon-man thing is called Eremite. Eremites are the guardians of the puzzle box. They are also Leviathan's emisarries, luring hapless souls to hell.
One of my all time favorites!!! Saw this in the theater when I was in high school...yes i am old. And for the time it was awesome to see this kind of violence and gore with people in a theater. People were shocked
Hellraiser is one of the most disturbing movies of all time on so many levels. The concept and theme was just so dark, twisted, evil, sick, brutal, explicit, graphic, violent, bloody, gory, and sadistic as you will cringe or squirm as it will make your skin crawl 😰😱 which works perfectly for the movie. It also identifies and analyzes the boundaries between pleasure and pain. It was decent. To this day I still watch it and I consider it a classic. It never gets old.😍😎💯👍
Thanks guys. I was 10 when I watched this. I remember feeling really dirty afterwards. 😔 My dad and I always rented scary movies, even faces of death. Oh, the monkey scene.
@@PickleBread355 I just made a playlist on Apple Music also with the scores for the first three films which are just Anniversary specials remastered I found all of them except bloodline do you remember how you found bloodline?
the most ICONIC line, We'll Tear your Soul Apart, the last few special effects, well clive barker and someone else just spent a weekend doing them, they were drunk they had run out of time and budget, plus the dragon was a box guardian taking the box back to besold again
I'm gonna have to search your videos to see but if you haven't yet, House (1986) was a great horror movie with practical effects that has some amazing comedy in it as well but still will scare the shit out of you.
I luv the part when the both jump when jesus came out from the closet, I just saw Hellraiser 5 but I think the second part it's The best!!! Please do a reactions for the second part
Part 2 is better imo. Part 3 is entertaining but the rest are pretty bad. Check out Lord of Illusions and Nightbreed, Clive Barker’s other two written/directed films.👍🔥🔥🔥
The part where Frank comes out of the closet with the knife and skins the rat just to slowly back away made my buddy Neil say, and I quote: "Dafuq kinda prison threat bullshit was that?!"
i forgot the wedding dress scene in this film.... i hope that was after the wedding because i doubt there was a way to schedule a last minute dry cleaning appointment if that was the day of the wedding.
The special effects when the cenobites were banished looked kinda corny but how they were achieved is kinda cool. I believe Clive Barker hand drew them himself.
Hello from Ontario Canada as a Huge Hellraiser Pinhead fan I believe that that the Hellraiser Franchise are the most Underated movies in the history of horror cinema and Pinhead is the most Underated horror Character of all horror characters .
@@femoman Oh my bad! I totally screwed up - in my head Bloodlines was 3 not 4. So yeah, watch until 4 for sure! I like the origin story of the Lament Configuration in Bloodlines.
@@icha6od Yeah, it's after 4 that we get into 'bland psychological horror movie with Pinhead shoehorned in somewhere' sequel territory, at least until Revelations which was just awful, and Judgement which at least tried to do something interesting but the overuse of grossout horror and the microbudget didn't help
I always enjoy sharing the original novella by Clive Barker. It's like "The Snyder Cut" of the film. Frank's opening death takes like 20 minutes ua-cam.com/video/juHv3ZWUwBY/v-deo.html
I first got to see this a teen in the year 2000 and i remember suddenly asking my gf at the time to hold my hand ( i think it was when the Jesus statue falls down on Julia ) LOL she burst out laughing but she had seen it before . This video got me laughing . Though i do think it is a very disturbing movie for someone that sees it for the first time.
I have that face pinhead put back together at the beginning tattooed on me along with the box and chains etc lol 😆 love hellraiser and the cenobites 🖤🤘
Definitely top 5 horror franchises of all time hands down. I would definitely watch at least the first 3, if not the first 6. Oh what the hell am I saying watch them all. I wouldn't recommend what I did where I watched all of them in one sitting. Talk about feeling disturbed afterwards. Can't wait for the new one or reboot whatever it is but either way can't wait.
You know a horror movie has done it's job when you look at a working prop of the box and seriously second guess actually messing with it lol. Great movie. The special effects that were weird were done by clive barker and a friend by hand because they were low on funds, considering that they're pretty outstanding lol.
This is the one franchise that for some reason has never caught my attention I can see why pinhead is an icon but idk especially with the multitude of sequels not was always just a bad sign for a franchise the first one is the best one and I’ve just seen clips and reviews of the other movies but that’s it
Take It from someone who loves these movies, watch the first three, they are all good, and go together nicely. The fourth, bloodline, is interesting, and ok, but slow and not as good. The rest after that are total garbage, not worth watching, for anybody, should have never been made, waste of time.
Haha that’s what we did, although I recently learned Henry Cavil was in one of the sequels and I’m curious 😂 looking forward to seeing this Hulu one tho!

Actor Doug Bradley (Pinhead) had no prior film experience before this. He was college/theater friends with Clive Barker. Doug held the Pinhead for 8 consecutive Hellraiser movies.
Not only did he make pin head iconic but he made it impossible for others to play the character without being in his shadow.
Clive Barker *hates* the name Pinhead, which is the name the movie gave to the Hell Priest. In the second book, a character mocked the Priest, by calling him Pinhead. That character then brutally killed 😂
Fun Fact;
Doug Bradley applied for the film Hellraiser as one of the mattress movers.
Good thing he didn't get THAT job!

Yeah only the first 2 films are any good. The lore's pretty interesting though and done better in some of the Hellraiser comics.
Interesting, I didn’t enjoy the second film at all. Recently watched the third and thoroughly enjoyed it.
The 3rd one is fun too
The gooey Frank effects are amazing! Would love you see you guys react to the 2nd one!

Apparently the last few minutes of the movie were where they ran out of budget. I love that the cenobites aren't really the villains of the movie.
Thanks guys.
I was 10 when I watched this. I remember feeling really dirty afterwards. 😔
My dad and I always rented scary movies, even faces of death.
Oh, the monkey scene.
Same, but I loved this movie. It was a mix of Skinimax and Freddy, in a good way
you.... rented faces of death? and watched it with your dad? the one that shows real dead bodies?
I never noticed before , but female cenobite looks like she’s in agony when Kirsty uses the box to banish her
One of my favorite horror movies, there's just something about this movie that takes all your fears to a new level especially when I watched it at 15
12:18 - The weird cricket man is a cameo by Clive Barker, the author of the novel The Hellbound Heart as well as director of the film.
The homeless man is a puzzle guardian, there are several puzzles and each one has a guardian.
My fav Clive Barker adaptation next to this is Midnight Meat Train. It's exactly what it sounds like; tons of gore, Raimi-feel, good times.
The Christopher Young score for this and Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 is legendary!
Best OST ever! I have both on vinyl, the first one came with a paper puzzle-box.
@@sidnew2739 that's awesome!
I just saw this for the first time about 6 weeks ago- absolutely WILD
I have a playlist on my Apple music that's the score for Hellraiser, Hellbound, Hellraiser 3 and now Hellraiser 2022. The 2022 score is AMAZING
@@RandyReviews1990 I think so but not all of them are available online. Technically every movie has a score it's just up to the studio put it out

@@PickleBread355 my bad I read it wrong but yeah they don’t have bloodline and these weren’t easy to find on Apple Music either!
In. My head canon the wheels on the Engineer are meant to be there. Like the nails in the lead Cenobite.
Just found you guy. Y’all almost definitely should watch them all. Just for Doug Bradlys performance of Pin Head .
the most ICONIC line, We'll Tear your Soul Apart, the last few special effects, well clive barker and someone else just spent a weekend doing them, they were drunk they had run out of time and budget, plus the dragon was a box guardian taking the box back to besold again
Wow! Youve never seen Hellraiser??? You are in for one hell of a treat!!!🔥🔥🤘🤘
“This isn’t for your eyes!”
dope line love how the music cues right in and after frank tell Kirsty what she will do!
I love the song "Come to Daddy" by Aphex Twin.
My favorite was the early suggested title for Hellraiser...."What a Woman Would Do for a Good Fuck"
The answer's apparently "Kill people so her brother in law can get his skin back after he escapes hell."
I'm gonna have to search your videos to see but if you haven't yet, House (1986) was a great horror movie with practical effects that has some amazing comedy in it as well but still will scare the shit out of you.
That homeless guy/ dragon at the end retrieved the box to give it back to the vendor so he could sell it again, and spread more pain, plus make money.
You guys are the best!!! Please check out part 2
I counted the amount of times you said EEEWWWW, it was 675 times.

All the hellraiser films after 3 just took a terrible turn, some of them had potential.. the newest one wasn't bad at all
Yeah
It's a little hard to believe Pinhead doesn't have a spot on your arm.
"We have such sights to show you".
Second year here watching this reaction, ill be back next year (2024)
This movie scared me as a child but I love it because of the monsters
I so want that switchblade!
Just seen you guys react to hellraiser and it’s hilarious love you guys ☺️ do hellraiser 3
I would say part 2 and 3 to watch. 2 was gory as hell. Makes the first look like a call walk. Gets more to the origin of the cenobites.
Around 26:00 is when I walked out of the movie theater. I was a teenager & found out I wasn't into gory horror. The hooks 🤢🤮
Obey Frank. He's opened a door for You.
OH IT HOLDS UP!
I love Hellraiser, but Part Two is My Favorite.
This room looks like it's burnt down 😂

definitley watch the 2nd and 3rd you learn more about pin head
bridget is so damn cute!! the sweetest smile
If this movie rattles you, then you definitely won't survive the books - The Hellbound Heart and Scarlet Gospels 😂
Scarlet Gospels are shit and The Hellbound Heart comes across much tamer than the movie.
Best part I think "Jesus Wept"!
WHO DOESNT LIKE KINKY DEMONS IN LEATHER HUH...?
Clássico ! O melhor filme de horror já feito . A estória é fantástica !
this film genuinely made me uncomfortable 1st time I watched 👀 it.. disturbingly fantastic 👏 film
they should watch hellseeker for the return of Kirsty its a shame what they did to her character!
You should check out the Hatchet series of films.

Good movie, I dug it!
Julia is the real evil one
Hellraiser inferno is the best one
