Nightbreed (with Heather Wixson)

Heather Wixson, Managing Editor of Daily Dead and author of Monsters, Makeup and Effects – Volume 1, joins us on a tour of Clive Barker's sophomore film Nightbreed, a dark fantasy horror film based on his novella Cabal and starring Craig Sheffer, Anne Bobby, director David Cronenberg as a suave serial killer (!), Hugh Quarshie and Doug Bradley. The film notoriously flopped on release in 1990, largely thanks to studio malarkey, reshoots and a compromised theatrical cut... but does the recently restored director's cut reveal a hidden gem of a movie? Is it a mysterious but beautiful freak living undiscovered in an underground city? Find out!
