We're working with Clive on planning our next series of conversations with Morgan Creek - your support is what caught the studio's attention in the first place, so please let's keep it going. Our thanks in advance! H.P.Lovecraft Film Festival, Hollywood Theatre, Portland, Oregon - 3-5 May 2013, with Russell Cherrington.At the time of its release, the film was a commercial and critical failure. In several interviews, Barker protested that the film company tried to sell it as a standard slasher film, [3] and that the powers-that-be had no real working knowledge of Nightbreed 's story. [4] Since its initial theatrical release, Nightbreed has become a cult film.

Nightbreed has been characterized as containing themes related to queerness and the LGBT community. In 1997, author Harry M. Benshoff called it, "One of the first horror films to make an explicit connection between monsters and the activist politics of the queer community". [8] to 2013: The Cabal Cut. Friend to Clive and Seraphim, Russel Cherrington borrowed a copy of the footage on the pretense that he missed the Horror Hound screening and wanted to see it for himself. What he ended up doing was putting together a cut of the movie, drawing together elements from the workprint tapes and the US DVD into one cohesive and long narrative, using the second draft shooting scrip and the novel Cabal as a guide. Together, Russell and Jimmi Johnson would edit and re-edit the Cabal Cut over the course of nearly two years. Clive dubbed Russell the “Restoration Director”. Filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky called Nightbreed "the first truly gay horror fantasy epic", explaining how the unconsummated relationship between doctor and patient is in his view the central theme. [9] [10] In 2015, Tyler Coates of Decider called Jodorowsky's interpretation of the characters' relationship as being "only the tip of the iceberg and, I'd argue, a red herring"; Coates focuses instead on the presence of queer subtext "blatantly seen in the Nightbreed's culture", writing that, "Because normalcy is subjective and based solely on how the majority defines it, it's important to establish mini-societies and cultures with people like you." [11] Epic-Con Ohio: Geekfest, Dayton - 25 October 2014, with Simon Bamford, Anne Bobby, Chris Mc Corkindale. The film’s potential magic, suffocated as it may be, was also on display in the cast Barker put together, which included Hugh Quarshie, Hugh Ross as Boone’s confidant Narcissus, the legendary Pinhead himself, Doug Bradley, as the leader of Midian, Lylseburg, Oliver Parker as the vampiric alpha male Peloquin, and Christine McCorkindale as the seductive porcupine woman, Shuna Sassi. In a 2012 interview, actress Ann Bobby, who played Boone’s girlfriend Lori Winston, revealed why the cast worked so well together. “I think Nightbreedwas a very sort of sterling example of what happens when a gifted director puts together his sort of cast that he knows will work well together that speak the same language. When I say language I almost mean a shorthand. There was a lot of freedom on that set in many ways.”

Joyce Finds Babette (Alternate): I can't remember the dog faced breed in the film but here he/she is dead or dying as the detective finds Babette weeping next to its body. For those not in the know, Nightbreedwas based on Clive Barker’s 1988 novel, Cabal. Both book and movie center on a lost soul named Boone who searches for the hidden land of Midian. Boone never felt like he belonged, and when he began hearing whispers about the Tribes of the Moon, he set out to find the hidden land of monsters. Boone was framed for murders that were actually committed by his trusted psychiatrist, Dekker.Dekker pursues Boone to Midian and a war ensues between humanity and the monsters of the underworld. Boone’s story was the main event, but the tale’s true attraction was the menagerie of bogeymen and seductive she-beasts that called Midian their home.

Zahn, James (June 10, 2009). "Update on the Director's Cut of Nightbreed". Fangoria. Archived from the original on June 19, 2009. Unaware of the trouble Barker had to deal with from the slasher-hungry studios, I just loved the Theatrical Cut from the moment I saw it. I also really appreciated the Director's Cut and the gaps in the narrative it filled. Nightbreed is a true original and for that alone it's worth celebrating. Barker's original vision may have been assembled late in his life but that has to count for something that it was achieved at all. Bravo to all concerned with its resurrection. Well recommended. Electric Cinema, Birmingham - 23 November 2012, with Russell Cherrington and others. NOTE - SCREENING CANCELLED

Tribes of the Moon: Making Nightbreed, an extensive documentary on the making of the film, featuring actors Craig Sheffer, Doug Bradley, Anne Bobby and many more(1hr 12' 17") Tony Bluto as Leroy Gomm, an overweight Nightbreed who has retractable tentacles coming out of his stomach.But it was David Cronenberg who stole the show as the button eyed killer, Dekker. Already a horror legend behind the camera, Cronenberg delivered a manic performance that really set the tone for the film. Dekker was the ultimate human monster and the perfect antithesis to the real monsters of Midian. He was the beast even the beasts rejected and Cronenberg made Dekker one of the genre’s most chilling killers. Barker said about what Cronenberg brought to Nightbreed: In 2021, The A.V. Club 's Charles Bramesco also examined the presence of queer themes in the film's director's cut, writing that some of its homoerotic subtext was initially removed when executives at 20th Century Fox demanded that the film be trimmed during its post-production. [14] Bramesco argued, "They were blind to the subtext of this community as a home for misfits, where the placeless Boone—who doesn't seem all that interested in sex with his torch-singing girlfriend—can find an accepting family. The director's cut allows us more time with the creatures and ups their number, emphasizing that they're only fearsome to those afraid of difference." [14] Production [ edit ] Development [ edit ]
