  • Nightbreed (1990) 👹 "a new reason to fear the night"

    This week on New Release … monstrosities Ashley, Derrick, and Drew take a trip to Midian, where all night dwellers live in relative harmony—until humans arrive. Nightbreed is an unrestrained horror-fantasy hybrid ripped from the wicked imagination of Clive Barker—the man responsible for Pinhead and some of the sickest monsters ever brought to life on screen. We choose our favorite fiends from an all-star lineup, then struggle over whether we’re mortals destined to live in the light … or creatures who are one with the night. If you know what it’s like to be torn between two worlds, then search ‘New Release’ on Spotify or Apple and to join us (i.e. subscribe). Tune in Friday 📺
