Those of you who are big Clive Barker fans – especially those of you who are partial to his trippy/creepy directorial effort NIGHTBREED – will want to dig on this article.
Hardcore fans of the flick know that there’s a much longer cut out there, Barker’s original vision that includes at least an hour of footage never before seen by most fanboy eyes. (Making the director’s cut about 2 hours and 39 minutes!!) Well, CliveBarker.info has organized a campaign to encourage Morgan Creek to release the final cut, as the only existing one is a lame, bare-bones edition.
The peeps at the site have apparently seen the 159 min. version (on VHS) and had the following to say: Yes, there’s (lots) more violence as the Sons of the Free invade Midian, yes there’s some deleted stop motion footage, yes, Narcisse gets decapitated, yes Lori stabs herself on a hilltop and Boone bites her… Yes, yes, yes!
In addition, there’s a new closing scene and some kind of music number. Head on over to the CliveBarker.info to read much more; and if you’re feeling feisty right now, email Morgan Creek at: frontdesk@morgancreek.com and let ’em know you need more sexy monster action now!
