Universal Studios announced Tuesday that Halloween Horror Nights will feature a Hellraiser attraction. The Halloween event begins August 28 in Orlando and Sept. 3 in Hollywood and runs through Nov. 1.
The attraction will be based on the first three films in the series. Doug Bradley will voice Pinhead for the attraction. However, focusing on the first trilogy means it will not include Pinhead in space from Hellraiser: Bloodline.
It includes Frank Colton’s house where Julia brought Frank back from hell with the blood of adulterous men she seduced. It continues to the Channard Institute, where Dr. Channard used patients to open the Lament Configuration puzzle box, and The Labyrinth of Hell he unleashed.
Universal did not specify Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth content, which included a modern day nightclub and flashbacks to World War II, where Pinhead served in human form before becoming the master of Hell.
Hellraiser merchandise will include a Pinhead acrylic which fits in the Infernal Carnival Display, and T-shirt.
Hellraiser was based on Clive Barker’s story The Hellbound Heart. There were four theatrical films and many straight to video sequels, eight starring Bradley.
A 2022 remake premiered on Hulu starring Jamie Clayton as Pinhead.
