About the event
The Movie Deets:
Released in 1990 and directed by horror legend Clive Barker, NIGHTBREED is one of the great cult monster movies of the VHS era—dark fantasy, body horror, gothic romance, and outsider allegory all smashed together into one wildly ambitious creature feature.
Set in the hidden underground city of Midian, the film follows a community of monsters, outcasts, and misunderstood creatures hunted by a world that fears them. Over the years, NIGHTBREED has become embraced as a queer cult classic, with its themes of found family, identity, otherness, and creating a safe place for those rejected by “normal” society resonating deeply with LGBTQ+ horror fans.
Expect incredible practical monster effects, surreal Barker imagery, strange beauty, and pure late-night video store energy.
