>>5767884>Ask Pinhead, Hell Priest or Lead Cenobite, never Pinhead.
>why is it that in the early novels Clive Barker (who is himself a homosexual author, and once worked as a male prostitute) made the Cenobites transgender (or at least androgynous) They were sexless, not transgender. It was to show they're above the base human pleasures Frank Cotton desired (he expected to be greeted by women).
>yet in the original films Pinhead was portrayed deliberately male; You can't hire a sexless demon for your movie, so Clive Barker made do with a male actor.
>but then when the Hulu remake film cast an actual transgender actress as Pinhead,More book accurate than a male actor, but I digress.
>Clive Barker decided to embrace the masculinity of the lead Cenobite making him canonically male again, Your timeline is off, Scarlet Gospel came out years before the movie and was actually ghostwriten.
>only to just definitively kill off the character in the very same novel?Because he was tired of the character being called pinhead, when he named it the hell priest
