Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth

An original prop used in the production of Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, the 1992 sequel and third instalment in the Hellraiser movie franchise.

This barbed wire was used on one of the heads for the Barbie Cenobite prop dummy which was used for shots where it was not possible to use actor Peter Atkins, most notably for the fire breathing scenes. The barbed wire head appliance was made by Image Animation UK who contributed a number of practical effects for the film, it is constructed from painted electrical cable and still exhibits latex and foam to the ends where it was attached to the dummy head. Although used at some stage during the production this would not appear to be the one used in the final cut of the movie.

The appliance is presented on a head form which stands approximately 12" high, it remains in good condition with some paint wear and minor fire damage from use during the production, generally fine.
