A Nantwich auctioneer has come face to face with one of movie’s greatest horror villains.
For this 7ft “Pinhead” monster, made famous by the hugely successful “Hellraiser” films, is to go on auction in the town.
And Robert Stones, of Peter Wilson auctioneers in Market Street, wanted to get up and close and personal with one of the strangest objects they’ve ever had go under the hammer.
The creation will be sold as part of an art and antiques two-day event at the Cheshire saleroom on May 1-2.
Fans of “Hellraiser” will recognise the steely monster as the evil leader of the Cenobites, formerly human
creatures from an extra-dimensional realm, who travel to Earth to harvest human souls.
However, this heavy metal version is an earthly creation – made entirely from welded car parts.
And it’s made a short journey to the Nantwich auction house from Macclesfield, where a collector had acquired him from a friend six years ago.
Now Pinhead is to start a new chapter in his life as companion to another collector happy to take him home.
It is estimated he will be sold for around £3,000 … and an oil can!
