Today, Clive Barker’s wildly imaginative Nightbreed celebrates its 25th anniversary. While that is a remarkable feat in itself, the journey that the film has taken over the years has become the project’s enduring legacy within the horror genre. The recent Director’s Cut release of Nightbreed has been the ultimate vindication for Barker, who saw his vision snapped away decades ago from producers who believed they understood the world of Midian- and all its monsters- better than their creator.
Of course, that wasn’t the case, as Nightbreed received a disastrous response when it arrived in theaters, maligned mostly for its lack of subtlety and nuanced storytelling that was found within the pages of Barker’s original novella, Cabal.

Do they still make print zines anymore? Hell to the yes! Former film zine publisher Mike Plante (Cinemad) interviews current punk rock zine publisher Todd Taylor (Razorcake) for the documentary Getting the Mag, which chronicles Taylor picking up the print run of the latest issue of Razorcake from the printer. It’s good to see that print isn’t entirely dead.

Zines used to be a big part of my own life. When I lived in NYC in the early ’00s, one of my favorite activities was to trek over to the See Hear zine store in the East Village and pick up whatever weirdness I could find.
