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.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
