.......Fans of Nightbreed we need to prove once and for all to the studios that there is a dedicated fan base that has been waiting for the director's cut of this film to reach DVD for years. With your support we could well influence a DVD release as a pure commercial decision, but we need to figure out just how large that audience really is. A small but noisy group will not make a difference here - we need to see just how many people would actually put down their hard-earned money for this... ..Remember, there isn't a Region 2 DVD release at all and the Region 1 release is a bare bones version missing the 25 minutes of footage that Clive would love to get back into the movie - a song, some violence, some structure... There's also the prospect of a commentary and hours of potential bonus content... ....What do you think? ....If you're interested in showing the size of audience or demand for an extended version of Nightbreed, please either e-mail us at philandsarah@clivebarker.info or send us a Tweet to @philandsarah (find us at our Twitter page here). ....Just your name or screen name is fine but please feel free to add your country of residence and / or a sentence or two on why this would be a great idea.

Greetings Dario Argento Fans! Thanks for adding me and for including me into the Fans. I love your site here, classic movies, classic music, great job! Have a fantastic week and welcome to my haunted site of Proggy musical doom.
"Dario Argento’s GIALLO has two fans in Roth and Quentin Tarantino. They watched it at Tarantino’s house the other week and had a great time with the story of a missing airhostess’ sister being tortured by a creepy yellow maniac in Turin’s gasworks."
