Stephan Smith Collins | Revelations Pinhead
In this interview, we sit down with Stephan Smith Collins to discuss his experience working on Hellraiser: Revelations, one of the most polarizing and unusual entries in the long-running horror franchise. Stephan takes us behind the scenes to explore the production’s challenges, creative decisions, and the unique atmosphere of contributing to a series known for its striking imagery and devoted fanbase. How did you first get involved with the Hellraiser franchise? I received an audition from my agent. The producers were using a code name so I had no idea I was auditioning for Hellraiser.

Bizarrely, when I then saw a video in my local HMV proudly displaying a guy with nails banged into his head on the front, I didn’t make the connection at all. I was too young to see Hellraiser at the cinema, so when the video came out…
