Clive Barker Confirms “Nightbreed” Series Has Begun Production

For years there have been rumors of a “Nightbreed” series. Clive Barker himself has now revealed during a chat with Coming Soon that the series adaptation of his book is indeed on the way and that Trick ‘r Treat‘s Michael Dougherty is directing. It’s exciting, after 30 years, to go back to these characters and find out who’s still speaking to me, who wants their story told,” Barker told the site. “My tongue isn’t in my cheek when I say that as when I start a piece. It’s listening. The writing is a piece of listening. I’ve always said I was a journalist and what I was reporting on was the space between my ears.” “Nightbreed” centers on a group of underground dwelling half-human/half-monsters who seek refuge from the human world.

Blumhouse will finance and partner with Savage to produce the three films in which Savage will be collaborating with the same team behind Host, including producer Douglas Cox, writers Jed Shepherd & Gemma Hurley, and editor Breanna Rangott.

Their status in the horror genre is unmatched, but I equally admire their filmmaker-led approach.
