Trivia: The film was originally directed by Kevin Yagher. However, after filming was initially completed, Miramax demanded reshoots to restructure the film, give it a happier ending, introduce Pinhead earlier and alter the storyline to make it more mainstream. Yagher strongly disagreed with these changes and walked away from production. An uncredited Joe Chappelle stepped in to direct the reshoots, and the film was ultimately credited to "Alan Smithee," as Yagher felt the finished film strayed too far from his original vision.
Question: Why does Pinhead kill John Merchant? Obviously he's angry that Merchant tried to activate the new Elysium Configuration to suit Angelique's desires, but he did so under duress, and as far as Pinhead knows, Merchant is the only one that can keep the portal between Earth and Hell permanently open. Was Pinhead just hoping that Merchant's son would one day continue his father's work and he could force him to complete the configuration?
