Magazine Covers

Eye catching and enticing - the magazine covers that encourage casual newsstand sales have proved hugely receptive to the subtle lures of Pinhead, Boone, various Nightbreed and others - including the visage of the creator himself... Pinhead / Hellraiser Covers (Magazines S to Z) Hellraiser Cover Gallery : A to E ~ F ~ G to R ~ S to Z ...Pinhead : the horror icon whose image has been taken from the silver screen to adorn the humblest bumper sticker and fridge magnet.

Starburst - No 122, October 1988 Reporting a panel discussion/interview on censorship. Starburst - No 171, November 1992 An interview with Anthony Hickox.

Video World - July 1993 Now Phil insists the only reason he needs to study this magazine in detail is because of the Doug Bradley interview inside - is he fooling anyone? What Satellite TV - July 1994 The UK's monthly guide to developments in pay TV put Pinhead on the front cover as, inside, it declared the premiere of Hellraiser 3 alongside re-runs of Hellraisers 1 and 2 that month to be "a move that's bound to cause controversy" to those active in the censorship debate...
