When Doug Bradley, the original Pinhead, was asked in an interview what his advice would be to Paul T. Taylor who plays Pinhead in Hellraiser: Judgment (2018), he sarcastically answered: "According to Gary (Gary J. Tunnicliffe, the director of the movie), Mr. Taylor has the screen presence of Peter Cushing and Ralph Fiennes, so he won't need any help from me, will he?"
55 Ludovico Street is the same address from Hellraiser (1987), which is also a reference to A Clockwork Orange (1971) encompassing both the Ludovico Technique as well as Alex's prison number.
The producers (at Gary J. Tunnicliffe's request) contacted Damon Carney's wife and secretly obtained stories and intense moments from his past that were then (without his prior knowledge) used during the scene when he is 'Audited' - at the end of the (lengthy and harrowing) take Carney yelled out 'What the fuck just happened?!...I was genuinely freaked out!'
(at around 27 mins) Though given third billing in the opening credits, Heather Langenkamp is only on screen in one scene, for less than 45 seconds, and is hardly recognizable in aging makeup.
The makeup for The Auditor was originally a concept pitch for a re-imagined Pinhead look. The cosmetics were shown to the studio when Hellraiser was originally optioning a full reboot. When a direct sequel was decided instead, the makeup team kept the designs, and recycled them into the Auditor character.
"Carl Watkins: Oh, Jesus Christ! The Auditor: Heavens, no. Same city, completely different zip code."
"[first lines] Pinhead: [as he holds and solves the Lament Configuration] Obsolete. Irrelevant in an age when desire has become amplified but where lust can be sated electronically. We need something more than just a wooden box. [the box opens] The Auditor: There is a mechanism. The house is ready. We can adapt. Pinhead: Technology may have advanced, but sin remains unchanged. Pure. Greed. Lust. Lies. Betrayal. The Auditor: This new millennium hurtles forward. Faith is lost. Mankind have become a vacuum without morality. So many souls seeking new and darker experiences. Degradation upon degradation, sin after sin. Pinhead: So then those are the souls we shall seek out first."
