Dead people, gore, monsters and a world beneath a cemetary anchor it firmly in horror. Barkers science fiction preoccupation with alternative world's is at times a bit heavy handed for traditional horror fans, but for the legion who enjoyed for example </B><I><B>Hellraiser II</B></I><B>, Nightbreed will be just the thing.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>Plot Summary</U></B><B>: Aaron Boone wakes up dreaming about some wild nocturnal monsters. He resolves to go see his psychiatrst, Dr. Decker,. Something is all gone except the bad dreams. A small child has also been having bad dreams. Unfortunately, they continue into waking wife as mommy and daddy are slashed by a monstrous thing with buttons for eyes, the child staring dully as it then comes toward him. Aaron has been imagining himself to be coming back to a city called midian. He had described these murders to Decker before they happened. The inference is Aaron did it. Six families in ten months. Decker is given 24 hours by his psychiatrist to go to the police. Aaron is in a hospital, and hears a madman asking to be taken to midian. The madman says Midian is where the monsters go. It takes away the pain. The madman tells him how to go. But the madman then scalps himself. Aaron follows the route given him, and ends up at a cemetary enclosed by iron gates. He then falls asleep. When he awakes, he is accosted by creatures of Midian. One calls him meat and one says the law allows him to go. The police have since followed and Decker, as his psychiatrist, goes out to meet the mass murderer. Unfortunately, Decker claims Aaron has got a gun. He's blasted a lot. At the autopsy there are multiple bullet woulnds and and unspecified animal bite (the latter received from he who dubbed him meat). Aaron appears to still have a few twitches in him, as the body is reported stolen. The news of the body's being stolen doesn't sit well with the doc, as Aaron had said that he lives undead forever in his dreams. Lori looks for Midian. For some reason, she takes the disappearance of the body as sufficient reason to believe that Aaron is still alive. The mad scalpman (now a Midianite) and Aaron are wandering among the unnaturals. Aaron is judged by the God. The tribes of the moon embrace him. Lori and Sheryl who she met at a bar go off to Midian. Decker drives up to Shirly, who is waiting for Lori outside Midian. They'd "met" last night. Lori sees a strange, gnomish creature out in Midian, struggling in the sunblight. She saves the child. She asks about Aaron Boole. They simply descend the steps, and she follows. She is then among the unnaturals: a descent into Dante's infreno. Long braids says 'y'all come back now, ya hear?' She decides to leave, but when she gets to the car, Cheryl is a gorey mess, and button eye is Decker. He's a madman. Aaron seems to take power out of a gravestone, but doesn't manage to kill Decker. Decker speaks to an old timer, and the old timer knows about the beings of Midian 'they couldn't hide forever.' They are survivors of the last tribes of shape shifters. THe sun can kill some of them some can be shot down others can't. The shape shifters were long persecuted. Decker gets a hold of the old timer and yhr old timer tells him how to kill some of them. Decker feels it is his mission to destroy the breeders, passing on their filth. Laurie heads through the bowels of Midian seeing deformed monsters of all kinds. She passes Dantesque scenes of all sorts as she heads south. The sargent from hillstreet is the sadistic chief of police here. Decker confers with the cops, and claims that Decker's not dead. When Lori gets to Boone, he's down there with the God.  Decker's on the war path again. Lori and Boon go to an empty hotel. Next door, Decker has left a chambre de Corps mortes. Decker's called the cops, and it looks like Boon's been up to his old tricks. The sadistic hills streeter beats up Boon. The cops go out and drag an unnatural into the sunlight and he fries. It is decided that all the beer bellies in town head out to Midian to persecute some monsters. Moses took vengeance on Midian in all the cities they dwelt, both man and beast. So the cops head out to clean out Midian. Gasoline is sloshed, dynamite placed. Meanwhile, Decker's still at it. Things are pretty apocalyptic back in old Midian. Boone convinces them to fight rather than try to hide down in Midian. Quill girl does some dammage. It is decided that they release the berserkers. Pretty soon the beer bellies are getting pretty screwed up. The prophesies had said Boone would save them. Boone dispatches Decker. Boon faces the God. Boon is made into Cabal by the God, and told to find Him, heal Him and save Him from his enemies. Midian is destroyed, and like a Moses, "Cabal" is to lead his people to a new city of Midian. Unfortunately, it looks like Decker's back as well.</B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
