For the record....I am a huge Pinhead/HellRaiser/Clive Barker fan

Clive Barker frequented a 90's gay alternative club called Sin-A-Matic
It has been rumored in L.A. that some of Barker's characters may have
been inspired by Sin-A-Matic patrons. Lots of leather, rubber, whips, chains.

I met Clive Barker twice at Sin-A-Matic.
Both times he was very friendly, but oh what a queen he is.

This is one of my favorite scenes in Hellraiser
Pinhead at his best.....
