Douglas William "Doug" Bradley (born 7 September 1954) is an English actor, best known for his role as the Lead Cenobite "Pinhead" in the Hellraiser film series.
Bradley was born in Liverpool, England. He attended Quarry Bank High School.
Bradley is best known for playing the role of Pinhead, Lead Cenobite, in eight Hellraiser films (the only exception being Hellraiser: Revelations), as well as Captain Elliot Spencer in two of the films, Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988) and Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992). He is one of only six actors to play the same horror character at least six consecutive times, the others being Sir Christopher Lee (who portrayed Count Dracula), Robert Englund (who portrayed Freddy Krueger), Warwick Davis (who portrayed the Leprechaun), Brad Dourif (who portrayed Chucky) and Tobin Bell (who portrayed Jigsaw). Due to his eventual skill at application and removal of the Pinhead appliances and costume, he has been credited in some of the Hellraiser films as an assistant make-up artist named Bill Bradley, using his middle name.
Bradley is an English surname derived from a place name meaning "broad wood" or "broad clearing" in Old English.
Like many English surnames Bradley can also be used as a given name and as such has become popular.
It is also an Anglicisation of the Irish Gaelic name O’Brolachán (also O’Brallaghan) from County Tyrone in Ireland. The family moved and spread to counties Londonderry, Donegal and Cork, and England.
Bradley is the surname of the following notable people:
Doug is a hypocorism (shorter form) of the given name Douglas.

Hellraiser is a 1987 British horror film written and directed by Clive Barker, based on his own novella The Hellbound Heart. The film spawned a series of sequels. The film involves the resurrection of Frank (Sean Chapman), who had opened the door to an alternate dimension and had his body torn to pieces by creatures known as Cenobites. Years later, Frank's brother Larry (Andrew Robinson) moves into Frank's abandoned house with his daughter, Kirsty (Ashley Laurence), and his new wife, Julia (Clare Higgins). An accident causes some of Larry's blood to spill on the attic floor, which somehow triggers Frank's resurrection. To complete his resurrection, he requires more blood which Julia provides while Kirsty discovers Frank's puzzlebox which leads her to meet with the Cenobites.
Hellraiser was filmed in late 1986. Barker originally wanted the electronic music group Coil to perform the music for the film, but later had the group's music changed by Christopher Young. Hellraiser had its first public showing at the Prince Charles Cinema on 10 September 1987. Initial reviews ranged from Melody Maker calling it the greatest horror film made in Britain, to Roger Ebert calling it a "bankruptcy of imagination".
Miramax (formerly Miramax Films) is an American entertainment company known for distributing independent and foreign films headquartered in Santa Monica, California. Founded in 1979 by Bob and Harvey Weinstein, Miramax was a leading independent film motion picture distribution and production company before it was acquired by The Walt Disney Company on June 30, 1993. Shortly thereafter, Pulp Fiction was released. The Weinsteins operated Miramax with more creative and financial independence than any other division of Disney, until September 30, 2005 when they decided to leave the company and founded The Weinstein Company. Miramax was sold by Disney to Filmyard Holdings, a joint venture of Colony Capital, Tutor-Saliba Corporation, and Qatar Investment Authority, in 2010, ending Disney's 17-year involvement with the studio.
Founded by the brothers Harvey and Bob Weinstein in Buffalo, New York in 1979, the company was named by combining the first names of their parents Max and Miriam, and was originally created to distribute independent films deemed commercially unfeasible by the major studios.

Pinhead teaches Angelique the most important lesson of all. In this scene: Pinhead (Doug Bradley), Angelique (Valentina Vargas), John Merchant (Bruce Ramsay) About Hellraiser IV: Bloodline: Spanning four centuries, this petrifying Gothic thriller recounts the anguished past of the L'Merchant clan, who unwittingly fashioned the puzzle box that unlocked the gates of Hades and unleashed the monstrous Pinhead. As Pinhead and his band of diabolical demons propagate evil on Earth, three generations of L'Merchants battle the legions of darkness to annihilate Pinhead ... permanently.

Oh my God .. Elliot Spencer, what have they done to you? For all you viewers, please don't judge this video only on its title. For obviously we're not talking Doug Bradley here. We are talking about that horrible thing that came out after Bradley was last seen as Pinhead in Hellraiser: Hellworld. And for those who thought the Hellraiser series couldn't get any worse after some horrible sequels by Rick Bota; try sit through Hellraiser: Revelations. This 2011 sequel was made quickly so the studio could keep the rights to the franchise and neither Doug Bradley or Clive Barker wanted to have anything to do with it. And we can see why. Just take one simply look at the new Pinhead. This time the role is played by a guy named Stephan Smith Collins, who looks more like a fan who dressed up for a...
We've been keeping this quiet for nearly a year now and it feels great to finally let you all in on it! When fans and show organizers started to ask about the possibility of a Pinhead photo op with Doug a few years back, we dismissed it as an impossibility. Almost nothing relating to Pinhead existed anymore. No makeup. No costume. Not even a life cast. Besides, shaking hands and "posing" for a picture with Pinhead seemed like a silly idea. From Doug's perspective, if he's in make-up and costume, he's in character. "Hi. How are you?' doesn't quite trip off The Prince Of Pain's tongue, does it? The more time went on, the more the questions persisted and the more we talked about it. An idea evolved. If Pinhead can't enter the fans' world, how can we bring you into his? If we were to do it,...
Joseph's obsession with the missing child case results in a required visit to the department counselor. In this scene: Det. Joseph Thorne (Craig Sheffer), Captain (Carmen Argenziano), Det.

Horror's most hideous hillbillies are back and more bloodthirsty than ever as WRONG TURN 5 arrives on DVD on January 28, 2013, from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. This time around a small West Virginia town is hosting the legendary Mountain Men Festival on Halloween, with throngs of costumed partygoers gathering for a wild night of music and mischief. But the trick or treating takes a sinister turn when a vicious family of inbred cannibals -- including series stalwarts Three Finger, Saw-Tooth and One-Eye -- decide to dine on a group of visiting college students. Starring horror legend Doug Bradley (Hellraiser) and directed by Wrong Turn 3 and 4's Declan O'Brien, WRONG TURN 5 ups the ante on the series' already gory history, delivering thrills and chills that promise to be even...
