Clive Barker Had Plans To Reveal The First Cenobite in HELLRAISER 3

If Clive Barker had his way, Pinhead would've been gone after Hellraiser 3. Bloody Disgusting says the news comes from Doug Bradley, who has played the character in several sequels and said the original plan for the third film involved the reveal of "the first Cenobite":

“Clive had a plan for a third ‘Hellraiser’ movie which he was working on while we were filming ‘Hellbound’ that didn’t involve Pinhead at all,” Bradley explained. “It was a story set in Ancient Egypt. The Great Pyramid was the first Lament Configuration that was built to raise the great Pharaoh, who was the first Cenobite.”

So Hellraiser 3 was meant to be an origin story? I wonder how fans would've responded to it back then. Something tells me Pinhead wouldn't be nearly as iconic as he is today if they would've ended his run. Hellraiser fans, would you have preferred a film like this as opposed to the Hellraiser 3 we got?
