Scrapped Hellraiser: Judgment Sequel Had a Human Pinhead and Pulled from Footloose
Aug 15, 2020
The Hellraiser franchise's evolution is filled with many hits and misses. 2018's Hellraiser: Judgment by filmmaker and longtime Hellraiser makeup artist Gary J. Tunnicliffe added some interesting new facets to the lore of the franchise in the form of the "Stygian Inquisition", and teased an interesting sequel where Pinhead has lost his position as the Hell Priest and become human again. In an interview with Bloody Disgusting , Tunnicliffe revealed how the sequel would have gone down if circumstanced had allowed it.
While the main story would have followed a family that moves into the town, a side plot would involve the newly-human Pinhead , who Tunnicliffe describes as "coming out of a prison", a homeless man played by Paul T. Taylor, who is on a quest to find purpose in life. Meanwhile, yet another subplot would have involved the Auditor who first appeared in Hellraiser: Judgment as a cenobite meeting the new Hell priest who would be replacing Pinhead, as well as further development of the "Stygian Inquisition" motif from Judgment , which would have expanded in the sequel to encompass an entire town of cenobites passing down punishment on sinners.
All these divergent storylines would have come together in the end to reveal the true nature of the events taking place in the film. The auditor had been secretly plotting to usurp the new Hell Priest and restore Paul T. Taylor's Pinhead to his former glory as a leader of the cenobites in his old position as the chief Hell Priest. To that end, The Auditor had been leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for Taylor's character to arrive at the town called Judgement and set events in motion to reclaim his Cenobite identity.
