Horror 101 - Episode XXXI: Clive Barker's Nightbreed

Come, meet the Dead of night...

This show we're dissecting Clive Barker's brilliant dark fantasy, Nightbreed. Nightbreed is the ultimate adult fairy tale filled with awesome monsters and vicious killers. It's an epic tale of good versus evil. Join us as we discuss this Canadian gem and what it means to the horror world. Find out what went wrong with it's initial release and how, after 25 years some justice is finally being paid to a wonderful story that was too big for the 100 minutes it was shoehorned into. You'll never look at David Cronenberg the same way again after you've seen him as Dr. Decker. It's our privilege to finally open the Clive Barker vault.
