NIGHTBREED the TV SERIES? That would be AWESOME!


Now this sounds very promising indeed. It’s just come to light (well, the interview in question has been online a couple of weeks, but still) that talks are underway for a TV series of 1990′s cult favourite Nightbreed. For those that need reminding, Clive Barker’s second and to date penultimate directorial effort, adapted from his novel Cabal, tells the tale of Aaron Boone, a troubled soul and possible serial killer, who finds himself drawn to Midian, a fabled subterranean city of monsters.

It also ended in such a way as to launch an ongoing series of stories which to date has not materialised on the page or the screen.
