Scream Factory is bringing the cult favorite Nightbreed from writer and director Clive Barker to 4K UHD Blu-Ray in a new Collector’s Edition on August 1, 2023.

Available for the first time being released in 4K UHD format, this highly anticipated release features a new 4K scan of the best-surviving film elements from the “Theatrical cut” and comes loaded with “Director’s Cut” on Blu-ray and special bonus content. The collector’s edition includes collectible slipcover packaging with original theatrical poster art and a reversible art wrap featuring alternative art. Get more details below!

Synopsis: Boone (Craig Sheffer) may be a troubled young man, but his troubles are just beginning. Set up as the fall guy in a string of slasher murders, he decides he’ll hide by crossing the threshold that separates “us” from “them” and sneak into the forbidden subterranean realm of Midian. Boone will live among the monsters.
Hellraiser creator Clive Barker writes (adapting his novel Cabal) and directs this vivid leap into horror that asks: in the battle of man vs. monster, who’s really the monster? The answer supplies flesh-crawling suspense, sudden fear, a colorful Danny Elfman score and a creepy array of shape-shifting beings. They are the Nightbreed, denizens of a world beyond death, beyond the imagination, perhaps beyond anything you’ve seen.
