I’ll forgo the Hellraiser jokes and just say ouch.
MACHINE MEASURES BEAUTY OF FACE
Even beauty may now be reduced to cold, hard figures, according to the inventors of a device that is said to record the contours of a face with thousandth-of-an-inch accuracy. Beauty shops might use the device, the inventors say, to learn how to change their customers’ features. In the inventors’ opinion, the following measurements are ideal: nose, same length as the height of forehead; eyes, separated by a space the width of one eye.
Brazil, not Hellraiser

After all, Pinhead only came to be that way after a freak accident while taking “beauty measurements”.

I’m surprised nobody else ever commented on the pair of cloned assistants to the right of Dr. Frankenstein.
