Barbie Wilde | Female
We sat down with the wonderful Barbie Wilde, the iconic Female Cenobite from Hellbound: Hellraiser II, for an in-depth interview covering on-set memories, fan theories, lost scenes, Sister Cilice, and the enduring legacy of Clive Barker’s world.— What do you attribute to the ‘Female’s’ lasting impact and legacy?

I got it in an audition, we had the assignment to make an audition tape according to the instructions we got for another Cenobite, if I remember correctly – the Asphyx. Afterwards we worked in person (how Cenobites walk, breathe, talk) with the director David Bruckner, and I got elected for the Mother, which was a new Cenobite I knew nothing about.
