Preproduction "Nightbreed" Art by Ralph McQuarrie

Richie V. found his Clive Barker's Shadows in Eden book. He wanted to share some images that he felt were the most moving to help with the Occupy Midian and Bring Back Nightbreed movement.

The above photo is Preproduction "Nightbreed" art by Ralph McQuarrie. (If you have the book it is on pg. 342. Click the pic to transport yourself to Ralph McQuarrie's art.)

There are some great quotes in Chapter 36 Frights of Fancy by Nigel Floyd. Thus far my favorite is:

"One [old] guy at Fox never saw it through because he felt it was morally reprehensible and disgusting --the two very things it's not. Their imaginations are limited and they have a very unadventurous sense of what to do."
--Clive Barker
   from "How Fox Bungled Nightbreed Per Clive Barker" by Alan Jones, Cinefantastique Vol. 21, No. 1., July 1990

Another great quote is:

"...I think it's in the tradition of a very much darker Thief of Baghdad, in which you're dealing with a fantastical world which is being, as you can see, created from the ground up."
from: (1991) Clive Barker's Shadows in Eden, edited by Stephen Jones. pg. 343. 

This piece of art, while beautiful in and of itself, isn't quite a true depiction of the entire Nightbreed story. However, with the original release, one would believe that it would be so. The Cabal Cut of Nightbreed would show this piece of art turned around, the monster's suffering at the hands of man. which in this story is unfortunately true.

Which brings us back to one of our favorite questions that surrounds Nightbreed:

Who is truly the real monster?

Occupy Midian to Bring Back Nightbreed

For those of you who are dedicated to the cause of convincing Morgan Creek to release the Cabal Cut of Nightbreed you should also check out the Facbook Group: Occupy Midian.

I'm hoping that they will be willing to work with the Facebook Page: Bring Back Nightbreed. We will see.

For those of you itching to take action, here is today's tip on getting this amazing movie released:

Morgan Creek has their mailing address at the bottom of their webpage (http://morgancreek.com). I saw a suggestion on Occupy Midian that writing Morgan Creek letters inquiring about when the extended cut of Nightbreed is going to be released to encourage them to release it. I'm going to write my letter tonight and put it in the mail first thing in the morning.

For an example here is what I am going to be writing:

I was fortunate enough to be able to see the Director's Cut of Nightbreed on Saturday, March 25 at the Mad Monster Party in Charlotte, NC. I was absolutely amazed by this version of the film (much more so than the original release). My fiance and I are definitely want to add the extended cut of Nightbreed to our movie collection. I also know several people who are interested in purchasing a copy. I was wondering how I can purchase a DVD of this. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time,
Crystal Raen 

Something simple and sweet with promises of purchases should definitely help encourage Morgan Creek to release the extended cut, as for them, it is a business. Therefore, money speaks.
