SykkBoy, you are partially correct. The pins are attached to an understructure, the appliance wasn't attached in strips but rather in 6 sections for the first 2 films, then down to 2 pieces in the last film.
When Bob Keen designed that make-up they told him they wanted pins all over the head.
To make sure the pins were evenly spaced from one another he drew a grid patteren all over the head. When Chris Figg, and Clive Barker saw the grid they liked it, and it was incorporated into the make-up.
The understructure you are referring to, I believe was vacuform. That's very standard today for understructures. We used to use fiberglass, but it takes longer, and is more of a pain in the ass. Plus it's way more toxic. Now we use vacuform as a standard for "mechanical cores" as they are called.
An example can be seen here in our Chucky Doll,
