Plot
In the 1920s British Raj, British military officer Elliot Spencer is transformed into the Cenobite "Pinhead" after opening the Lament Configuration.
Shortly after her father is killed by Frank Cotton, Kirsty Cotton is admitted into a psychiatric hospital. Interviewed by Dr. Channard and his assistant, Kyle MacRae, she tells her account of the events and pleads with them to destroy the bloody mattress on which her murderous stepmother, Julia Cotton, died.
After hearing Kirsty's story, Dr. Channard, who is secretly obsessed with the Lament Configuration, has the mattress brought to his home and convinces a mentally ill patient named Mr. Browning to lie on it and cut himself with a razor. The resulting blood frees a skinless Julia from the Cenobite dimension, and she subsequently consumes Mr. Browning for energy. Having snuck inside Channard's house to investigate Kirsty's claims, Kyle (while hiding) witnesses the event and flees in terror.
