Terrifying Facts Behind Famous Horror Movies

Doug Bradley, who played Pinhead in Hellraiser, discovered the downside of heavy prosthetics at the film’s wrap party. Without his elaborate makeup and costume, nobody recognized him. Crew members ignored him completely, assuming he was just another guest, until he awkwardly explained he had been the movie’s terrifying lead.

The experience left Bradley embarrassed but also amused. For months he had endured grueling hours in the makeup chair, only to be invisible when the costume came off. The strange incident highlighted how fully the character had consumed him, cementing Pinhead as more famous than the man behind him.
