Paul T. Taylor Interview
Interview Conducted by Stuart D. Monroe
If you are a Hellraiser superfan right down to the canon of the comics and you’re offered the role of Pinhead, you’re on that like flies on shit. Right? Sure you are. Paul T. Taylor is no fool, and you’d better believe he’s relishing the role. Still, he knows those are mighty big shoes to fill. He also knows that the story of the Hellraiser franchise is ever-changing.
A veteran actor who’s been doing it since 1998, Paul had a memorable scene as the Assistant DA in the 2005 monster hit, Sin City. His work on the 2018 indie gem Sick for Toys is the stuff of nightmares. The man who would become Pinhead has seemingly found his niche in the darker roles. The chilling new version of Pinhead is in stark contrast to the genial man with the easy laugh that I had the privilege of interviewing at the Frightmare Collectibles Christmas Market.
We discussed what it means to be Pinhead, the coolness of his new “cult status”, the favorable reviews and following for Hellraiser: Judgment, and that aforementioned creepy-uncle-from-Hell in mask-to-mask interview that shouldn’t be missed. Enjoy!
