Yeah, and that’s pretty much the only time that particular Cenobite gets a mention, but due to the impressive performance of Bradley and how well the character went down with fans, the entire advertising campaign and franchise was based around him.
Most people probably already know this, but Julia was supposed to carry the series on as the franchises main villain, something which Clare Higgins had no interest in, which is another reason for Pinhead being the Freddy/Jason/Myers of the films

He almost took the part of one of the removal guys, didn't he? Something to do with wanting his face to be seen in his film debut, I think.

That’s right, and one of the removal guys was played by Oliver Parker, who went on to play my favourite character from Nightbreed-Peloquin

It's about time I dragged my copy of the film out again. Nightbreed was also one of my main reasons for buying the Amiga computer as the game was bundled with it.

That's so weird, I just bought Immoral Tales myself, but I didn't get such a bargain £27 on its own.

Don't know if you know what you have there, K.

Although it's been overtaken in recent years by works by Hearn, Rigby and Kinsey it's the very first book on Hammer films (1973) and for a long time seen as THE Bible on the subject. It was the first publication to come out and say Shadow of the Cat was a Hammer film.

It's a seminal work and one no Hammer fan should be without.

I bought mine new from a library suppliers in Preston years ago and got them to bind it in plastic for me. If you can make it out below.
