I was about 15 or 16 when it came out so missed it on the big screen

I've got that book with the characters in (think it's the making of) - infact, I've got two copies of it - a very thumbed through one I had since I was a "youth" - and another near mint one I picked up on a Carboot for 20p

Heard the same thing mate, although I hear Clive Barker is taking an active interest in the Hellraiser ReBoot.

That I believe is the Nightbreed Chronicles, with all the characters in.

I also own the Hellraiser Chronicles which is the same format covering the first three Hellraiser movies.

Have you read the novel Cabal on which Nightbreed is based?

Yep - it's Chronicles ~ just Googled it. I'll have to keep my eye out for Hellraiser Chronicles

Not read Cabal ~ I'm not much of a reader ...unless it's subtitles

Yeah you must. It gives a lot more background to the Tribes of the Moon. Basically that Boone is Cabal, a kind of chosen one, prophesied to lead the tribe to a new land after the destruction of Midian by man. Something the movie doesn't touch much on but I'm hoping this lost footage from the film does. I believe there's about an additional 45 mins that didn't make it to the final release.

Met Simon Bamford (Butterball/Ohnaka) at Memorabilia last year. I asked him about the Nightbreed footage - said the rough cut screened, was really rough and needed filters applying (or something like that). ...but also said Clive Barker was keen to get the directors cut out - so there's still hope!

So I have a bit of sad news to relay. After MUCH digging, hunting and trying our best to unearth where (if at all) the missing Nightbreed footage might be, we’ve come up empty handed. Therefore, that VHS that was screened at the convention is the ONLY footage that exists of a director’s cut

The Official Clive Barker Website - Revelations - News - Nightbreed Director's Cut

What a shame.

Still wouldn't mind seeing the VHS workprint!
