BOOM! Studios’ ‘Hellraiser’ comic book series is changing things up a bit for it’s new issue number 8 release. The series, co-penned by ‘Hellraiser’ creator Clive Barker, has turned the female lead from the original movie Kirsty Cotton into a new Pinhead with breasts for it’s latest edition. Miss Pinhead features on cover B of the new Hellraiser #8 edition which has been revealed by Bleeding Cool and which you can check out below. As for the franchises on-screen presence a potential Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer’s ‘Hellraiser’ remake doesn’t appear to be going ahead and of course Barker himself was very vocal with his opinions on the terrible direct to DVD sequel ‘Hellraiser: Revelations’ which arrived last month.
“The 1987 original ‘Hellraiser’ from Brit horror author and director Clive Barker is about a man who finds he is given more than he bargains for when he solves the puzzle of the Lament Configuration – a doorway to hell. But his ex-lover has found a way of bringing him back, and his niece, Kirsty Lawrence, finds herself bargaining with the Cenobites, angels to some, demons to others, whose greatest pleasure is the greatest pain.”
