Pinhead Takes a Bride

Published

on

Chucky has one, Frankenstein has one, and now thanks to an English photography studio Pinhead has one too.

You don’t have to solve an extradimensional puzzle box to figure out I’m talking about a bride.

And award winning photo studio Horrify Me has given Clive Barker’s chrome domed, spike-faced Hell Priest someone in which to betroth his hellbound heart.

Photographer Rick Jones took his inspiration from the classic 1935 film Bride of Frankenstein, but mostly Clive Barker himself, or better yet, his 1987 movie Hellraiser.

Jones thought the sadomasochistic Cenobite could use a companion and created the concept for this pictorial he calls “The Bride of Pinhead.”

International model Lotti Rose and Hellraiser fan Mike Butler took on the roles of bride and monster respectively.

The shoot was produced by Rick and his wife Claire as they played matchmaker to one of the most terrifying celluloid demons in movie history.

Rick says he didn’t want the bride to look like just another Cenobite, rather he wanted this after life partner to be visually satisfying and far from innocent.

“Brides wear white gowns to look pure and virginal, but I steered away from this,” said Rick. “Given that Hell is supposedly full of lust and sin rather than love and tenderness, I figured it would make sense to have her nude to give the character an erotic dimension. I also wanted her to be made in the image of Pinhead, so I applied his famous grid-and-pin design to her entire body.”

The photographer says fans may call foul about giving Pinhead a wife because he knows the giant prefers suffering and torment over happily-ever-afters, “However I still wanted to try this just because I thought it might look cool.”

And we have to say it definitely looks cool. The team created the look by painting the models in full body makeup including a geometric grid complete with many hundreds of handmade pins that were applied to their bodies. Lotti Rose’s spikes extend down her back and along her thighs.

The makeup process was a full day’s work, taking ten hours and three people to complete.

After seeing the photos some of the original actors from the film lauded the artists for their work, most notably Nicholas Vince and Imogen Boorman.

Of course the one person that may have mattered most, Clive Barker himself gave his review on Twitter, calling Rick’s work “Glorious!”

However detailed and gorgeous Pinhead’s bride may be, we have a question about the logistics of, well, the wedding night.

“Lots of people have asked me how their relationship works given that their pins make it virtually impossible to engage in close intimacy,” says Rick. “All I can say is that love finds a way!”

And to that, we have to wonder what Merkova would think.

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

on

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
