New Portrait Series from Artist Matthew Therrien Spotlights Pinhead and the Various ‘Hellraiser’ Cenobites!
Artist Matthew Therrien has become known for his portraits of horror icons, often presented in collections that are unified by a common theme or style. For example, he recently painted every different version of Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees from the various Elm Street and Friday the 13th movies, and up next he’s turned his attention to all things Hellraiser.
Brought to our attention by Broke Horror Fan today, Therrien’s Hellraiser series includes 10 different portraits, highlighting Pinhead and the various different Cenobites from the films.
Limited Edition giclée prints are now available in Therrien’s online shop, with the 5×7″ giclee limited to 75 copies ($20 each), and the 10×14″ giclee limited to 20 copies ($40 each).
“Both are printed on acid free 305gsm coldpress watercolour paper using archival inks.”
Characters from the Hellraiser franchise that get the spotlight in Therrien’s latest art series include Chatterer, Butterball, Female Cenobite, Surgeon, and even Camerahead!

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
