Most
familiar of all will be actor Doug Bradley who has played sadistic
demon Pinhead in all eight Hellraiser movies.
Accompanying
Doug is Ken Foree whose numerous TV and movie roles include memorable
turns in the original Dawn of the Dead, From Beyond, The X-Files
and Dallas.
Also
visiting the store is Gunnar Hansen, who was the man behind Leatherface's
mask in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre in 1974.
Infinitely
Better owner Steve Goss has also let it be known to BBC Wiltshire
that a very special guest appearance is planned for August.
We
can say no more about it at the moment but suffice to say, this
world-renowned and dignified actor will be by far the biggest star
yet to visit the store. Stay tuned for more information!
