According To Clive Barker, A 'Nightbreed' TV Series May Be Forthcoming!

New postby Brian Massey » Thu Mar 29, 2012 5:56 pm

Just eight weeks ago, author/director/visual artist Clive Barker was in a coma and literally knocking on heaven's door, but lucky for Barker someone had other plans for him. So as the recover process continues, Barker wanted share something of that experience via his website to everyone that has been supporting him thus far in this tragic moment of his life. In this "Revelations" session, Barker revealed his intentions to bring his 1990 fantasy/horror flick Nightbreed to the small screen in the form of a TV series.

"We are actively in conversation about doing a Nightbreed television series which will be for cable," informed Barker. "So it will have a chance to be as sexy or as graphic in terms of the violence as we need it to be. For example, do you have Spartacus over there? Oh my God, it redefines gruesome... I also applaud them for finally realising it's not a bad thing to see a manhood once in a while – it’s not as if half the world doesn’t see it daily..."

Barker continues, "The sensitivity of our culture has sort of caught up with Nightbreed. I don’t wish to be immodest, but the general sense is that the movie failed because people didn’t want to associate with the monster and I think our culture has changed – I think our culture is now ready to embrace the ambiguity. You’ve only got to look at Twilight where obviously the monsters are the good guys – I’m not a huge fan but I’m enough of a fan to watch and see monsters being celebrated."

With all that said, I really hope that this comes to fruition.
