Topic: Clive Barker's NIGHTBREED "The Star Wars of Horror films"

http://mutantville.com/blog/nightbreed- … this-march

CLIVE BARKER’S (3 HOUR!) NIGHTBREED DIRECTOR’S CUT AT MAD MONSTER PARTY!

Clive Barker’s Nightbreed, one of the most fan adored monster movies of all time is available for the first time in a never before seen 3 hour long director’s cut at the Mad Monster Party on Saturday March 24th, 2012. In addition to this special rare event Nightbreed stars Craig Sheffer and Anne Bobby (marking their very first convention appearance) will be in attendance for a Q&A session following the screening and will be signing autographs in the dealer room throughout the weekend.

Mark Miller, Hellraiser comic writer, and Nightbreed expert will also be on hand to introduce the film on behalf of Clive Barker and share some insights into Barker’s vision for the future of Nightbreed.

Join Mad Monster Party to champion the cause and be a part of the growing movement to give the Director’s cut of this beloved film its much deserved special edition DVD/Blu-Ray release. We’re doing our part by sharing this cut and conducting panels which will explain the great opportunities fans will have to offer their support. Many thanks to Nightbreed distributor and owner Morgan Creek for giving us their blessing to show the film. They will be watching, with interest, for audience and fan reaction so let’s show them how much we want this to happen.

Once again, THIS VERSION HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE. Pulling from three separate cuts of the film, and working closely with Nightbreed’s original director of photography Robin Vidgeon, Clive Barker’s team at Seraphim Films has assembled a composite that will be the most complete version of the film that has ever been shown.

Come show your support. As a work in progress, it is possible that you may never again get to see this version of Clive Barker’s masterpiece Nightbreed, as it was always meant to be seen.

I love Elfman's score to Nightbreed. It is very Elfman but I still adore it.

I have the CD. It's a great score... dark, beautiful, surreal, action packed and with a touch of the horrific. Fits the movie like a glove.

Re: Clive Barker's NIGHTBREED "The Star Wars of Horror films"

Yeah, I have the cd too. It's an awesome score, very atmospheric. I haven't seen the film in years, never bought it on dvd for some reason. I had the Marvel Comics adaptation, though. big_smile

They just screened the extended version of Nightbreed at Mad Monster Party. Clive Barker tweeted: "The response to the CABAL cut of NIGHTBREED seems overwhelming positive. All made possible by Russell Cherrington and Mark Miller."

"Occupy Midian" is the movement to get an extended version of the great film "Clive Barker's Nightbreed" released onto Blu-ray and DVD. We are here, we are MANY, and we want to buy it!

Please invite everyone that you think might help champion this cause.

This group is to show Morgan Creek, the current owners of the film "Nightbreed", that there is a high demand for this film to be released in an extended cut as the director and creator Clive Barker originally intended.

"Occupy Midian" was a name thought up by Anne Bobby during an interview with the Clive Barker Podcast. This group aims to work in close co-operation with the creative people currently restoring the film.

On Saturday, March 24, 2012, Mark Miller and Russell Cherrington premiered the phenomenal, "Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut," a composite cut from the theatrical release plus multiple working prints that more closely reflects Clive Barker's original script and the book on which Nightbreed is based.

After the screening, Mark, Russell, Craig Scheffer (Boone) and Anne Bobby (Lori) gave a Q&A. The Cabal Cut includes a cut scene of Lori in a nightclub preforming "Johnny Get Angry" and in the Q&A, Anne said that the fact that she could sing was one of the factors that lead to her being chosen to play Lori in the first place so it seemed only natural that there was a request for Anne to sing something.

At first she declined, but was eventually coerced to sing a song. She chose "I'm Gonna Be Strong" and dedicated it Clive (who is currently recovering from a nearly fatal case of toxic shock.) It was very moving...

Re: Clive Barker's NIGHTBREED "The Star Wars of Horror films"

Clive Barker: "My friends, Clive here, writing to share some wonderful news. Following the two Sold Out screenings of NIGHTBREED:TheCabal Cut on Sunday... Morgan Creek has given us permission to show the cut around the world and to raise money to prepare the cut for a release on Blu Ray. This could not, would not have happened without your voices.We have all been heard. The Morgan Creek team have my thanks and my respect. Very seldom does anyone in the movie business pay attention as they have, understanding perhaps that the message of the movie as I shot it is one that dramatizes a different ending to the age-old story of how a war between Humankind and something Other draws to a close." https://twitter.com/RealCliveBarker/...48256990232577

Re: Clive Barker's NIGHTBREED "The Star Wars of Horror films"

I just saw The Cabal Cut of Nightbreed at the Weekend of Horrors convention in Germany. The restoration director Russell Cherrington and some of the cast was there.

Seeing the extended version of Nightbreed on a big screen with an audience was pretty awesome.

The Cabal Cut gives us so much more... nearly every character is expanded. The love story between Lori and Boone is the center of the story now. There are more monsters to behold. The climax is stronger and the ending makes more sense. It's darker and more violent than the Theatrical Cut. This felt almost like watching a new film.

Dr. Decker is even crazier in this version. His mask talks and argues with him. He also kills Narcisse!

The priest, Ashberry, kills the police chief, Eigerman. He does not resurrect Decker like in the Theatrical Cut.

Lori takes her own life but Boone bites her, and she is reborn as a Nightbreed.

The downside was the poor quality of the new footage. There are major problems with the sound and image quality. It was a very weird, jarring, experience, with missing sound effects, feeble on-set pops instead of foley gunshots and much recycling of Danny Elfman's few score. I disliked some of the editing as well. This film is far from finished, however. This was Version 6 of The Cabal Cut that I saw. It's not the definitive cut.

Russell Cherrington has said he still looking for footage and is hoping to get hold of the original negatives, but if not he will bake the tapes to bring it up to dvd quality. He also said that The Cabal Cut, restored, should be released on DVD/Blu-ray next year!
