The theatrical version of Nightbreed was cut down from Clive Barker’s original vision; for years it was believed all the missing scenes and deleted footage was lost, but last year an uncut workprint surfaced. Now that workprint is making its debut before an audience in… Indianapolis? Yeah, I was wondering ‘Why Indianapolis’ as well and then someone told me the city is essentially Midian, so it’s like a hometown premiere.
The movie will be playing at the local ‘Horrorhound’ Convention, and if you’re in the area I urge you to go. And write me with your thoughts. The reality is that even the director’s cut of Nightbreed is probably terribly flawed, but I find the movie so fascinating in so many ways that the flaws don’t bother me. And so I’d love to see the full vision for the movie that Barker essentially saw as a horror Star Wars. Hopefully this showing isn’t the only one and the movie heads out to Los Angeles, where all the people who matter live.

Finally, something interesting happening in Indy (yeah, that's what everybody calls it). I moved here 6 months ago from the DC area for grad school (yeah, I make terrible life decisions) and while it's not the cultural wasteland that I was expecting… I don't quite know how to finish that sentence. Anyway, I'll plan on seeing it – I just wish that I was more acquainted with the horror genre. Any recommendations?
God, that Mac the Moon guy always reminded me of, well, Mac the Moon from McDonalds in the 80s.
If you live in Indy, you're already pretty acquainted with the despair and terror common in horror.
Wow, when did Indianapolis become the new Cleveland? Sure, it sucks the life out of you on a daily basis, but at least… I got nothing.
"Hopefully this showing isn't the only one and the movie heads out to Los Angeles, where all the people who matter live."…. So why do you live there again? Indy Rules motherfucker!!!
Wow Devin. Did you get sodomized in one of the dark alleys of scenic Indianapolis or something? You seem to be bitter about this premiere. Do you need a hug or a cookie or something?
craig sheffer for life.
I heard the uncut Night of the Lepus will hit Sheboygan some time next year.
The Day the Clown Cried played in Tracy, CA last night…too bad you all missed it.
Hey, Indianapolis is not that bad! great clean city and only 3 hours away from Chicago!
Devin has a strange aversion for Indiana which is weird because that's where he's from. Not New York.
Why not just release this on DVD and Blu-Ray??? It'd make a hell of alot more $$$$ than how there doing it right now..
