Quotes:

  • Frank Cotton: Come here, damn you, I want to touch you.
     
  • Lead Cenobite: No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering.
     
  • Kirsty Cotton: Who are you?
    Lead Cenobite: Explorers in the further regions of experience. Demons to some. Angels to others.
     
  • Frank Cotton: Jesus wept.
     
  • Kirsty Cotton: It's just a puzzle box.
     

Trivia:

  • Doug Bradley's characters name wasn't "Pinhead". He was just named "lead cenobite", but was given the name shortly after the film opened.
     
  • Doug Bradley was originally offered a choice of roles between one of the mattress movers and the Lead Cenobite. He originally thought it important that, as a new film actor, the audience should be see his face, and nearly turned down the Lead Cenobite role.
     
  • It took six hours to place Doug Bradley into the Pinhead makeup.
     
  • The budget of this movie was $1,000,000. It earned about $20,000,000. It was the directing debut of Barker, who made only two short films before.
