Even if you’re not a fan of horror, some characters are simply so iconic that they’re known by all. There’s Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Ghostface … I could go on. I’ll confess. I’m not a horror person and don’t claim to have actually seen any of the aforementioned horror icons in action, yet I could tell you exactly which films they all star in. That’s how I know that horror fans are pretty hyped to see Pinhead back in action because the new Hellraiser reboot is on the way.
Speaking of horror, check out this gruesome gameplay from The Callisto Protocol which is set to be released on 2 December, 2022.
The rebooted Hellraiser film is set to debut on Hulu on 7 October. For my fellow UK folks, release details on this side of the pond are yet to be confirmed. I can reveal though that Hellraiser has earned an R rating so we’re likely in for a pretty creepy time. The story is set to be a reimagining of the 1987 original so we should expect a few familiar elements.
Over on Twitter, Hulu unveiled the first look at the updated Pinhead who will be portrayed by actress Jamie Clayton. It’s a pretty brief first look but it certainly does set the tone for the series which is set to be directed by David Bruckner.
Wondering what Hellraiser is about? The official synopsis reads, “In the all-new Hellraiser, a young woman struggling with addiction comes into possession of an ancient puzzle box, unaware that its purpose is to summon the Cenobites, a group of sadistic supernatural beings from another dimension.” Sounds like your classic Hellraiser fare.
