‘Nightbreed’ The Series?

Back in 1990 Nightbreed, the adaption of Clive Barker’s 1988 novella Cabal, opened in theaters. Written and directed by Barker, the film became a cult classic. Barker has long complained about the fact that Nightbreed was watered down before being released in theaters. Rumors of a Nightbreed sequel have circulated for years, but we may actually be getting one, just not a movie. Deadline is saying that Morgan Creek, the producer of the original film, is currently developing a Nightbreed television series. Reportedly, Barker himself is involved creatively in the project. The original film centers on a troubled young man who is drawn to a mythical place called Midian where a variety of monsters are hiding from humanity. At the moment there is no other information available about the show, but as soon as we know more we’ll let you know. How do you feel about a Nightbreed series?

Actor-Director Justin Price Discusses ‘The Elf’ And ‘The 13th Friday’ In An Interview

I had the opportunity to talk with actor-writer-director-producer Justin Price today who took the time out of his busy schedule to answer a few questions about his upcoming film The Elf and The 13th Friday, along with some of his other projects. Horror Fuel: “I’ve heard that you have to loose and gain weight a lot for your roles.” Price: “I had to lose a lot of weight for ‘Alien Reign of Men’. We shot that in Iceland. I thought I would get into some Daniel Day-Lewis character work, right. I tried to look like a heavy, bulky guy, and I put on about 40 pounds. Then I had to drop it, 40 pounds sounds a lot easier than done. Gaining it was easy.” Horror Fuel: “Do you do that a lot?” Price: “What, fluctuate weight? All the time. In ‘The Cloth’ I was about 165, in the ‘Reign of Men’ I was 240, right now I’m at 185. It’s
