The name "Pinhead" was coined by the makeup crew that applied the prosthetics on Doug Bradley to distinguish the Cenobites. Clive Barker had no say in choosing "Pinhead" as a name and did not like it, as he thought it was undignified. In the films, the character was first referred to openly as "Pinhead" by protagonist Joey Summerskill in Hellraiser III - Inferno sulla città (1992). The name is also used as a derogative term towards the Cenobite by Jophiel, God's advisor and Pinhead's superior, before he kills her in Hellraiser: Judgment (2018), during the film's finale. The name also appears in the film Hellraiser VIII (2005), referring to the fictional character portrayed in the Hellraiser game. Pinhead was given the designation Hell Priest in Clive Barker's novel The Scarlet Gospels, while his original concept art for Pinhead was adapted into a Hell Priest mask in 2017.
