Can’t wait for this! A lot of discussion (mostly negative) about casting a trans woman (Jamie Clayton) as Pinhead in Hulu’s reboot of Hellraiser airing October 7. I feel the need to remind these trolls that Clive Barker originally wrote Pinhead as an androgynous being. Hellraiser is based on Clive’s 1986 novella The Hellbound Heart, which never solidified Pinhead’s gender, but did describe the villain as feminine in appearance and voice. So, it’s perfect casting for this reboot, imho. Go Jamie!
