Pinhead from the Hellraiser franchise, better known as the Hell Priest, is coming to the renowned horror survival video game Dead By Daylight! The teasers feature a static television, flashing graphics, and a bell ringing.
Pinhead is a Cenobite in the Order of the Gash and a major character in the Hellraiser franchise. Pinhead made his debut appearance as an unknown character in Clive Barker’s 1986 novella The Hellbound Heart. When Clive Barker converted his novella into the 1987 picture Hellraiser, he referred to the figure as “the Priest” in his early versions, but the finished film never gave him a name.

The character was given the nickname “Pinhead” by the production and make-up staff of the 1987 film, and fans readily adopted the moniker. Following that, the name “Pinhead” was utilised in publicity materials, tie-in media, and on-screen in several of the sequel films.
Pinhead is one of the Cenobites’ leaders. The Cenobites are humanoid creatures who have been converted into demonic creatures dedicated to the practise of experimental sadomasochism. The Cenobites are from Hell and are brought to Earth by the Lemarchand Configuration, a set of puzzle boxes.
Pinhead was previously a British soldier named Captain Elliott Spencer, who became disillusioned with life and mankind as a result of his experiences during World War I, as shown in the Hellraiser film series. As a result of this, he summoned the Cenobites and joined their ranks.

Pinhead will be referred to as The Cenobite in the video game Dead By Daylight. Early gameplay from the Player Test Build has been published, showing the Cenobites’ overlord torturing survivors and bringing them into his home world with his iconic characteristic chains.
Pinhead’s skills are designed to prevent players from sprinting by slowing them down and disorienting them. The Cenobite can sling chains at players, forcing them to break free as rapidly as possible before Pinhead captures them.
