Doug Bradley plays the pin headed monster brilliantly, all backed up with one of the best soundtracks by Christopher Young who scores the film in a magnificent way adding shed loads to the atmosphere. The effects of Frank coming back from the dead still work even now, in fact I would go so far as to say the effects in this film outclass many a monster flick that's made today.
The scenes in the hospital spring to mind, along with some classic gore as we see Frank engage in his less than well mannered feeding on victims.
Pinhead of course steals the whole show, be in firing chains out to his sheer presence on screen that makes the other actors just stage props to Doug Bradley.
The "Cenobites" naturally became one of horrors most well known and loved movie monsters, some of the newer Cenobites in the follow on movies were a tad lame but in the first they work well.

Oh I have covered the latest outing in the series, where Pinhead is played(badly) by some other actor who has probably gone back to flipping burgers or selling wraps of crack. Please avoid that one, unless your looking to get the complete set.
It seriously sucks and blows as a movie...http://therandomfilmblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/hellraiser-revelations.html
