“Nightbreed” Director’s Cut Extras Announced!

Hello Friends:
SCREAM FACTORY has just announced on their Facebook  page the final specs for the NIGHTBREED: DIRECTOR’S CUT release! Read it all below. But first, an announcement from Clive Barker’s office about what the NIGHTBREED: DIRECTOR’S CUT is.

The Nightbreed Director’s Cut is an entirely different film than the one which was released in theaters. Its 20 minutes longer than the theatrical cut, but it contains over 40 minutes of new and altered footage. Clive oversaw the reconstruction and edit himself, personally ensuring that, at long last, he was able to tell the story he always wanted to tell, but until now, had never been given the chance. Once the scenes were reordered, and the original film footage restored, the entire film received a brand new sound mix and color pass. It is, in every way, a different movie. It contains more story, more monsters, and there’s even a musical umber. Ultimately, what we’ve delivered is a love story 25 years in the making.

Now for the release specs, verbatim from Scream Factory!

***BREAKING: FINAL SPECS for NIGHTBREED: THE DIRECTOR’S CUT Revealed!***

We are very excited today to announce the final list of extras that will be available on our two releases of NIGHTBREED: THE DIRECTOR’S CUT (both out on 10/28). We thank every fans of “Midian” for being patient for this long-awaited news and we hope you are pleased.

We begin with an official statement from Clive Barker’s team on this extraordinary project: “The Nightbreed Director’s Cut is an entirely different film than the one which was released in theaters. Its 20 minutes longer than the theatrical cut, but it contains over 40 minutes of new and altered footage. Clive oversaw the reconstruction and edit himself, personally ensuring that, at long last, he was able to tell the story he always wanted to tell, but until now, had never been given the chance. Once the scenes were reordered, and the original film footage restored, the entire film received a brand new sound mix and color pass. It is, in every way, a different movie. It contains more story, more monsters, and there’s even a musical number. Ultimately, what we’ve delivered is a love story 25 years in the making.”
